Rumor mill: Supergirl returns … to the big screen?

March 28th, 2007
Author Kevin Melrose

Less than a week after rumors of a Justice League movie comes talk — and very iffy talk at that — from JoBlo.com that Warner Bros. could be preparing Supergirl for a return to the big screen.

The website cites a tip from someone called “Lip” that the studio already has commissioned a script, and that Battlestar Galactica‘s Tricia Helfer is on the list of possible stars.

Of course, Helfer turns 33 next month, which makes her a little old for the role of Supergirl. Not that I’m questioning “Lip,” or anything.

However, even JoBlo is a little skeptical, wondering whether “our source is somehow confusing it with Wonder Woman, rendering this entire rumor moot.”

Supergirl’s previous venture into theaters was in the plain-awful 1984 movie starring Helen Slater, Faye Dunaway and Peter O’Toole. It grossed $14 million, less even than Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

    JoBlo’s source could have also confused Supergirl with Lobo, and I don’t mean DC’s Lobo, I mean Sheriff Lobo, the BJ & The Bear spinoff…

    Wait, wait–maybe it’s actually PAD’s Fallen Angel. Yea, that’s it. :)

    Honestly, about a year ago, I got confused about which Supergirl is Supergirl in the DCU. Now if you want to make a film with the animated Supergirl from Justice League Unlimited, that’d be a great movie–but it would be animated, of course…oh never mind.

    Cruel with the BJ & the Bear quip, I have wondered why TV Land or DVD’s had left both BJ & the Sheriff Lobo series out.

    I had such a crush on Helen Slater…..and plainawful is not exactly right. I liked it and it is better than Catwoman. Of course anything is better than Carwoman.

    Greg Evigan won’t allow it unless it’s packaged with My Two Dads…I am so kidding.

    Carwoman?!?! Ah, I hate my poor spelling skillz.

    If it’s done the right way, this could be a great movie for teens. Helfer would be horrible for the part. Too old and her features are too hard. I vote for Kristen Bell. :D She’s not exactly right but she’s far better, at the very least. :p
