LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11 (UPI) -- Warner Bros. and DC released the first teaser for Supergirl on Thursday. The film opens June 26 in theaters.
Scene-stealing Krypto the superdog features prominently, as Supergirl's appearance in Superman confirmed he was her dog. He pees on a headline about Superman's latest rescue in a nuclear reactor explosion.
Blondie's "Call Me" provides the soundtrack to the action as a Kara Zor-El (Milly Alcock) drinks to her 23rd birthday at an alien bar. Her Superman appearance also explained she visits planets with red suns where she can still get drunk, because her super powers on Earth prevent that.
In a livestreamed panel from CCXP Brazil on Sunday, Alcock, director Craig Gillespie and producer James Gunn discussed the differences between Kara and Clark Kent. On her cousin, Kara says, "He sees the good in everyone and I see the truth."
"Kara doesn't want to be a hero," Alcock said. "I think that what Supergirl represents for young women, especially, is that you can be flawed. You don't have to be perfect in order to come to some sort of internal self-resolution."
