Add BollywoodShaadis on GoogleLess than a year after James Gunn’s Superman launched a new phase for DC films, Supergirl has arrived in theatres on June 26, 2026, featuring Milly Alcock in the lead role. The cameo of ‘Kara Zor-El’ in Superman created some hype for Supergirl, which is a part of Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, launched by DCU. The main story focuses on Supergirl going across the galaxy on a mission for revenge. Directed by Craig Gillespie, the movie also features Jason Momoa playing an important role.
While the critical reviews are different from each other, the superhero film is expected to continue a good phase for DC films in the upcoming years. Marking the debut of some comic book characters and the return of a few from earlier films in a new form, keep reading to know what happens at the end of the movie! (Spoilers ahead)
‘Kara Zor-El’ spends most of the time chasing ‘Krem’ of the Tellow Hills with 'Ruthye Marye Knoll.' ‘Krem’ murdered ‘Ruthye’s’ father, ‘Elias,’ and left her seeking blood. ‘Kara’ tells ‘Ruthye’ she needs ‘Krem’s’ poisoned arrow to save ‘Krypto,’ the Super-Dog. That mission drives them across the galaxy, picking up allies like ‘Lobo’ and clashing with the ‘Kingsagent.’
As per the comic book, ‘Krypto’ was never actually dying. ‘Kara’ lied to join ‘Ruthye’s’ quest, hoping to talk the girl out of becoming a killer. She’s still processing the destruction of Argo City and the trauma of losing what remained of Krypton. The film keeps ‘Kara’s’ grief and ‘Ruthye’s’ rage, but the lesson shifts. By the third act, ‘Comet the Super-Horse’ dies after being hit by a ‘Kryptonite bullet that was aimed at ‘Kara’. The loss, combined with ‘Krem’s’ cruelty, pushes ‘Kara’ past her breaking point.
‘Kara’s’ journey hinges on two non-human allies, and the film treats them differently compared to the comic book. In King’s run, ‘Krypto’s’ poisoning is ‘Kara’s’ lie to join ‘Ruthye.’ He’s fine the whole time. But the film plays it straight since ‘Krypto’ is hurt early, and ‘Kara’s’ desperation to find ‘Krem’s’ arrow feels real. However, the biggest change is ‘Comet the Super-Horse,’ who survives in the comic book. ‘Comet’s’ sacrifice also mirrors Argo City. ‘Kara’ failed to save her world and her horse, so she ensures that ‘Krem’ can’t hurt anyone else. It reframes her as a hero who absorbs loss and responds with lethal force. This is another tonal shift from the comic.
The comic book shows the emotional climax at a time when ‘Ruthye’ stops ‘Kara’ from killing ‘Krem’. The roles are different, where ‘Ruthye’ seeks vengeance and requests that ‘Kara’ not stoop to murder. She reminds ‘Kara’ of every moment of kindness they shared, and ‘Kara’ listens. Instead of killing ‘Krem,’ they sentenced him to 300 years in the Phantom Zone. The comic epilogue then shifts forward centuries, where a middle-aged ‘Kara’ and an elderly ‘Ruthye’ free ‘Krem,’ who is repentant and apologises. ‘Ruthye’ cracks him over the head with her cane and walks away with ‘Kara.’
The film changes the situation, where ‘Krem’ captures ‘Ruthye’ and ‘Lobo.’ ‘Kara’ finds ‘Ruthye’s’ sword and kills ‘Krem’ by stabbing him in the chest and neck. There is no Phantom Zone exile and no last-minute mercy. The act contradicts ‘Kara’s’ comic arc, where her entire goal was to prevent herself and ‘Ruthye’ from becoming killers.
When ‘Krem’ dies, ‘Kara’ takes ‘Ruthye’ inside her ship. While the latter’s fate is not revealed, ‘Kara’ returns to Earth. ‘Kara’ is spotted entering ‘Clark Kent’s’ apartment, saying that she is going to stay, as she does not want to escape her pain and aims to embrace a life on Earth as a hero.
This ending reframes ‘Kara’ for the DCU since the comic book featured ‘Ruthye’ regretting that she lied in her book, claiming that ‘Kara’ killed ‘Krem,’ which was not true. The lie was aimed at protecting themselves from ‘Krem’s’ allies. The movie turns the lie into a truth where ‘Kara’ kills ‘Krem,’ setting up her role and the events in Man of Tomorrow. Instead of being reckless and drunk, ‘Kara’ is now a hero willing to kill, which is expected to land her in trouble with 'Clark' when ‘Brainiac’ arrives.
