Director Andy Muschietti's The Flash tackles time travel, alternate universes, and personal traumas, making it one of DC's more ambitious films. Along the way, it introduces Supergirl (Sasha Calle) into the DC Extended Universe but squanders the opportunity by not making her everything she could be.
Online, many have seen the moment that the actress Sasha Calle, 27, knew her life had been utterly altered: The director of “The Flash,” Andy Muschietti, announced the casting of Calle as Supergirl by posting the video in which he tells her she got the job, beating out hundreds of others.
This Superman is played by none other than Nic Cage — or, at least, an expressionless digital recreation of a younger Cage from the '90s — as the iteration of Superman he was meant to have played in Tim Burton's Superman Lives.
The Flash Proves Cavill's Superman Is The Most Important DC Universe Character. Though Henry Cavill's Superman cameo was cut from The Flash, the plot of the movie honors the character by showcasing just how much he was the crux of the DC Universe.
Cage made a surprise appearance as Superman in Warner Bros. ' “The Flash,” in which he battles a giant spider as the multiverse begins to collapse. The 2023 superhero film also sees the return of Keaton as Batman, with whom Burton directed in 1989's “Batman” and its 1992 sequel “Batman Returns.”
Despite Sasha Calle's Supergirl pleasing most audiences, she wasn't in the film for very long, and will now seemingly never get a chance to play the character again, with James Gunn's DCU confirming we're getting a Supergirl movie.
It's clear she absorbs her solar powers even faster than Superman. Beyond that, Supergirl just doesn't hold back. Honestly, Superman is not as strong even when he doesn't hold back. In DC Comics' 2021 series Crime Syndicate, we see Earth-3 Kal-El become the evil Ultraman.
Kara Zor-El (Supergirl) also known by her adoptive names of Linda Lee Danvers, Kara Kent, Linda Lang, and Kara Danvers, is a superheroine appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.
The speedster introduces himself as Barry Allen, a.k.a. the Flash, a superhero from a parallel Earth, after Kara reveals herself as Supergirl, and Barry later learns her extraterrestrial origin.
While Supergirl is clearly replacing Superman in the story, the reason for the change is likely to do with the real-world production of The Flash. At the time that it was being made, Henry Cavill was seeming out of the DCU, meaning the movie would either need to recast the character or replace Superman entirely.
Sasha Calle was born on 7 August 1995 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. She is an actress, known for The Flash (2023), Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow and On Swift Horses.
Wonder Woman and Supergirl have fought twice before - and Wonder Woman handily won both times. Supergirl is incredibly strong, and possess all the powers of her more famous cousin. Unfortunately, she lacks the experience and training necessary to defeat Diana in a fight.
Even so, taking both heroes at their maximum potential, it's practically a given that Superman would overpower Thor in terms of sheer physical strength. He may not consider himself a god, but the Last Son of Krypton can still outmatch the God of Thunder on his best day.
The original, current, and most well known Supergirl is Kara Zor-El, the cousin of superhero Superman. The character made her first appearance in Action Comics #252 (May 1959) and was created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino.
While many underestimate her and consider Kara to be a softer hero than Superman, her nature shows pure, unbridled determination and stubbornness — feats she overtakes her cousin in. With her persistence, she's able to push past any limits placed that hinder Kal-El, even going so far as to beat their own natural enemy.
Kara eventually got tired and got close to Zod when it seemed like she'd beaten him into unconsciousness, Supergirl tried to use Zod's arm device to stop the terraformation but the General stabbed Kara and had his henchmen help him drain her blood so they could harvest the Codex, killing her in the process.
Erica Durance replaced Laura Benanti as Alura Zor-El in Supergirl season 3, leaving fans wondering why the latter left the series. Starring Melissa Benoist as the titular Girl of Steel, Supergirl season 1 originally aired on CBS in 2015-2016 before jumping to The CW and officially becoming part of the Arrowverse.
Although Kara has no memory of being taken to the Fortress, the rest of her memory and her powers are restored. A worried Lionel watches Clark stumble around his cell. Patricia enters the control room and orders to see the traveler before handing over the incriminating evidence.
Spider-Man star Tom Holland is being suggested as the next live-action version of The Flash in James Gunn's DC Universe. The future of The Flash in the DC Universe is uncertain after the end of Grant Gustin's show and Ezra Miller's movie flop.
Michael Keaton's return as Batman in The Flash is not just a nostalgic cameo, but an integral part of the story and fight against Zod. The Flash is the first live-action film to feature three different Bruce Waynes, including a surprise appearance by George Clooney.
The appearance of a long-haired Nic Cage as the Man of Steel is one of the biggest (and, to some, most confounding) surprises in The Flash simply because it's an homage to a DC movie that was never made. Cage was cast as Kal-El in director Tim Burton's Superman Lives, a 1990s project that Kevin Smith first scripted.
