Background information[]

  • Supergirl is the cousin of Superman. She was born fifteen years before him, but spent her journey in suspended animation. Living mostly in Midvale, she served as Superman's "secret weapon", operating out of the public eye at first. Several other characters named Supergirl have been introduced after DC wanted Superman to be the only Kryptonian, including Matrix, Linda Danvers, Kara In-Ze, and Cir-El.
  • This is her 9th animated appearance. She appeared in the animated movies Justice League: The New Frontier, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse and Superman: Unbound, and the animated series Super Best Friends Forever, Teen Titans Go!, DC Super Hero Girls (the shorts), DC Superhero Girls (the rebooted series), and Justice League Action.
