Supergirl Arrives in Six Days: Are You Ready? [View all]

Or, do you even care?

I wasn't a big comic book reader when I was young. I read a Green Lantern here, a Richie Rich there. But, I never really dabbled much otherwise. But, being familiar with many of the DC characters I knew of Supergirl and a bit of her background. When she had a cameo toward the end of last year's Superman, though, I wasn't impressed. 'Great, a drunk party animal. Hilarious.' I thought it really distracted from the Superman movie I was trying to watch at the time by shilling for another movie still a year away.

But, that year has now passed and the movie opens Friday. Rotten Tomatoes still has no numbers posted yet, but the reviews should start coming in the next few days. And, while I'm a bit cynical when it comes to how good a trailer looks and how that predicts the movie's quality itself, I must admit that I am intrigued by the trailer.

If you haven't seen it yet, give it a watch. I don't know, maybe it's just the song they use....
