Our the next Supergirl up is... the one from a series DC animated movies featuring the Tomorrowverse. The Tomorrowverse gets its name from the first film of that series "Superman: Man of Tomorrow". Supergirl plays a prominent role in this universe and is featured in 4 of the films: Legion of Superheroes and Crisis on Infinite Ears 1-3. She is a really fun character.
There was a flashback sequence with Supergirl on Krypton the outfit she was wearing reminded me of Zero Suit Samus from Metroid. I used it as a starting point to generate images of her.
They should also through have her show the sole of her feet to the viewer. :-)
Move her soles to the center..
and step on the viewer as well. :-D
I did a behind the scenes post with some additional outtake images that didn't make the cut for this on Anime Footnotes. It provides a little bit more detail on some of the prompts I used to generate these and some of the enhancements I requested for these images.
Warning: There are a spoiler in this post for the Crisis on Infinite Earths story ahead. Though to be fair the story is over 40 years old by now. ^_^;
I am glad I get the chance to talk about the Tomorrowverse. This version of Supergirl was very well developed and I really like watching her in action. She starts off impulsive and headstrong but trains and grows and becomes a much better heroine over the course of her movies. We see her go through
a romance with Brainiac 5 and ultimately sacrifice herself to ensure that Earth survives. The actress portraying her in this series is Meg Donelly who actually looks like you she could portray Supergirl in a live action if she wanted to. She seemed to have a lot of energy when delivering Supergirl's lines. It really made all her scenes fun to watch. This version of her is fast, smart and powerful.
Tomorrowverse split the Crisis on Infinite Earth's storyline into 3 separate film which may have stretched out the story more than needed. I wasn't complaining though because it allowed for more scenes with Kara. The last movie however is particular notable because there is a great tribute to the Batman the Animated series Batman. Kevin Conroy (who portrayed that version of Batman) passed away a little before this movie was released. The movie gave him a final scene allowing him to send off the character and acknowledge his legacy as Batman in the best possible way
Ok everyone. Still a few more versions of Supergirl left to go. On that note... more to come soon!
Up Up and Away!
