James Gunn Reveals Crucial Supergirl Detail After ‘Superman’s Massive Kryptonian Twist

While that may not seem like a big deal on the surface, it flips a long-standing element of their origin stories on its head. Traditionally, Kara Zor-El — Kal-El’s cousin — was older and sent to Earth before him, only to arrive later due to cosmic complications. But in James Gunn’s new DCU, things are different.
