The film deals with an alternate timeline where Kal-El was killed before becoming Superman. Barry's search for the alternate version of his friend leads him to Kara. The plot essentially replaces Man of Steel's Superman with Supergirl rather than giving the character a more traditional Supergirl story.
Hence, the Russians were able to imprison Supergirl in a cell with simulated red sunlight. This decades-long exposure left Supergirl very weak and pale, forcing the Flash to carry her out, into yellow sunlight.
Sasha Calle plays Kara Zor-El, Kal-El's cousin, in The Flash. Toward The Flash's ending, the younger Barry refers to Kara Zor-El as Supergirl, making it the first Supergirl appearance in a live-action movie since the 1984 Supergirl film. That said, The Flash's Supergirl was not from the DCEU's original timeline.
Sasha Calle was born on 7 August 1995 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA. She is an actress, known for The Flash (2023), In the Summers (2024) and On Swift Horses.
But the Flash and Supergirl's debuts, separated by only 2.5 years, did not result in the two heroes becoming friends or partners. Yet elements outside the story in the comic book pages have always tied them together long before they became allies on TV, or co-stars in films like The Flash.

How does Barry Allen know Supergirl?
In the season one episode "Worlds Finest" of Supergirl, Barry accidentally enters the universe of Kara Danvers / Supergirl and Clark Kent / Superman after passing through an extradimensional breach while testing a tachyon accelerator.
During the Invasion Mon-El and Kara had an affair which led to Kara's pregnancy with Mon-El's child. Mon-El kept the child a secret from his mother. Rose was born on Earth during the invasion of the Daxamites. Her father was "forced" to marry Lena Luthor and his mother said that they will produce an heir.
Kara appeared to use that persona like a mask to run away from her past trauma. Doctor Fate diagnosed Supergirl suffered from a severe case of survivor guilt and PTSD, and "Dark Supergirl" was a physical manifestation from her psychological trauma, which was literally crushing her.
She is the biological cousin of Superman, and although chronologically older than him, the ship in which she traveled to Earth was caught in a large green Kryptonite meteorite which held her in a state of suspended animation for much of the journey, making her have the appearance of a 16-year-old girl.
In her secret identity she is Kara Danvers, a run-of-the-mill high-schooler. Possessing vast powers given by her Kryptonian physiology, Supergirl is one of the most powerful heroes in the world, and has been a member of the Justice League and the Red Lantern Corps.
While the CGI was bad throughout the film, the scenes taking place in different dimensions are particularly bad. Ultimately, The Flash was stuck between a rock and a hard place as it struggled to appeal to a wide audience and handle the controversy surrounding its star.
Henry Cavill was originally set to appear in The Flash, having shot a cameo for the movie in September 2022. However, after James Gunn and Peter Safran took over as co-heads of DC Studios, the cameo was removed since Gunn and Safran will not be using Cavill's version of Superman in their forthcoming DCU.
Most speedster can only run mach 10, but for main Flash's like Wally and Barry there are differing speeds. Kara is the fastest Kryptonian, but she still is not as fast as the fastest man alive. She did keep up with Season 2 Barry though.
While he isn't as amorous as his successor Wally West, Barry Allen has still dated a few women over the years in the comics. The Silver Age Flash fell in love with Iris West early in his career, though he's also flirted with other heroes like Zatanna and Jessica Cruz/Green Lantern.
In the long history of the DC Universe, one of the most powerful beings to ever exist is, naturally, the daughter of Superman and Supergirl. But since the two heroes are Kryptonian cousins, their superpowered offspring has a forgotten Superman-family replacement to thank for her creation.
Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood fell in love after costarring on Supergirl, and thankfully, their relationship had a happier ending than their onscreen alter-egos'. The actor joined the CW series in season 2 as Mon-El, a love interest for the leading lady's Kara Danvers (a.k.a. the titular superhero).
Supergirl as in Kara Danvers aka Kara Zor-El from the CW Arrowverse Supergirl show, that Supergirl ends up with no one before the series ends despite the fact that she was dating someone as Kara but he had no knowledge of Kara being Supergirl.
Iris West was first introduced in the DC Comics, as a supporting character and the main love interest and later wife of Barry Allen, the alter ego of the Silver Age version of the superhero The Flash, first appearing in Showcase #4 on October 4, 1956.
Some notable love interests for the Flash include Lois Lane, Raven, Golden Glider, and Meena Dhawan/Negative Flash. The Flash's most enduring love interest is Iris West, who always seems to be his true love no matter what universe they are in.
