This new line-up of DC superhero projects is being spearheaded by executive Walter Hamada and includes movies like "Shazam!" and the female-fronted "Birds of Prey" starring Margot Robbie, as well as the standalone "The Joker" with Joaquin Phoenix.

Supergirl first appeared in "Action Comics #252" from writer Otto Binder and illustrator Al Plastino. It followed Kara Zor-El, who was born and raised in Argo City — a fragment of Krypton that survived destruction. When the town is doomed, Kara is sent to Earth by her parents to be raised by her cousin Kal-El, known as Superman.

Supergirl adopted the secret identity of orphan Linda Lee and made Midvale Orphanage her home.
