Idk no matter how many times I reread this its always fun like especially how Kara meets them both and the initial skepticism of it all and then the big battle with Darkseid but its the art that stands out and its so beautiful, i just love it! Turner's art here is incredible and each page is filled with so much love and dedication you can feel it, its a must read just for that!

Omg this was so good! Seeing a Robin and Superboy team up to convince Toyman of something was fun and then we have a story with the coming of Supergirl and what happens to Clark then, her adjusting to the life here and dealing with Batman and then the stuff with Diana is just so good and finally when training and the events that happen and the coming of Darkseid and the Trinity going to Apokolips, Superman and Batman vs Darkseid and then the 2nd round and the suspense and the ending was just crazy! One of the best DC stories easily and the re-read just makes it all the more better!

The art by Turner is so good, it makes you appreciate the whole of the volume and then he draws Women in such a gorgeous manner plus his Bruce and Clark are awesome too and the undertones in this movie with finding a family who thought one had lost, Clark's extreme and over-protective reaction and the coming of a new hero into the world is so awesome and seeing them go against Darkseid was so worth it, I enjoyed every second of it! A definite recommend from me!

This was such a great volume and is about the re-introduction of Kara as Supergirl and since I watched the movie it came off as a good read. Its about Kara coming to earth, meeting the duo, skepticism by Batman, training by Diana and the usual Darkseid interfering and mind control and then Superman fighting Darkseid in one of their best fights ever and defeating him and then finally the fate of Kara decided! It was a great story and hits all the emotional beats that Loeb is famous for. I liked it a lot and the main thing is the art which is just so clean and each panel feels like a poster.

This was a lot of fun! I'm definitely going to have to check out more of the Superman/Batman books! Loeb plays their different personalities off of each other so well, that I couldn't help but smile through the entire thing. Great story about the return of Supergirl, and great artwork. This is definitely not what I'd call a dark comic book. So, if you're in the mood for something light, but filling, then this is a perfect choice!

i love you kara zor-el. i loved nightwing and the titans in this omg... also bats and supes' weird little narration was so cutesy.

although something about the artstyle weirded me out a bit, especially since kara is fifteen/sixteen, and the amount of scenes where she would be partially or completely naked was... a little off-putting. also where are any of the organs in the womens' bodies?! like hello? it gets to a point guys 😭

anyway. pretty good story overall! just wish the artstyle included the internal organs of the women's bodies...

[Chelsea 🏳️‍🌈 · Rating 2 out of 5]

*Sighs* This had several elements I really don't enjoy in older comics.

I don't want to spend hours on the art but... the art was so offputting. Not only do the women not have organs, I will never understand why Kara's thong was visible? It's implied that Lois went shopping and bought her clothes but she never met Kara so... who taught Kara to wear her underwear that way? Clark? Bruce? Did she see it on the street and think 'hey, I should do that?' Because the more likely answer is that grown men decided to draw a 16 year old girl that way for their own reasons. Gross.

I mentioned that the women are drawn so thinly, there's no way they have internal organs.

I couldn't concentrate on how cool it would have been to see Kara v. the Amazons because there were so many ass shots that I was just annoyed. Don't get me wrong, I love women but this kind of art just makes me want to get to the end of the story because I don't want to look at it for longer than I have to. I don't understand why this is so common. Porn is free.

Anyway, this story wasn't all that great in my opinion either because Supergirl is legitimately just a damsel the entire time. One of the strongest beings on the planet exists to be rescued? You see the problem with that?

I'm reminded of how often supremely powerful women are depicted as mentally unstable or simply not trusted (River on Firefly, Jean Grey, Wanda Maximoff, even Jessi on Kyle XY for some examples). We see how powerful she is when she's disoriented and attacking people on accident and then she spends the rest of the story being held captive and then rescued. She never gets to save herself. Why? For a story that's meant to culminate in Clark realizing Kara can make her own decisions, why not show her having a hand in her own rescue?

So, for the time period this story came out, it seems so incredibly backwards that this is the way Kara was (re)introduced. If this had been written in the 1950s, I would have rolled my eyes and moved on (though, I honestly think the art would have been a lot more respectful and that's depressing). But, for the 2000s... it's just offputting.

I've always been a fan of Jeph Loeb's Batman comics. They are truly excellent. Thus when I saw this random volume at the Comic store and saw it was written by Loeb I had to snatch it up. I am glad I did. It was quite good. I also liked Michael Turner's art-it was quite good. Especially his Batman.

This is the introductory story of Supergirl, Superman's cousin. A ship from outer space has crashed. Batman discovers the wreck, but the mysterious passenger steals his Batplane. Turns out the arrival is Supergirl. I enjoyed how Loeb shows the different thoughts between Batman and Superman in regards to the situation. It shows the difference in their thinking.

The story is also good. Superman's attempts to acclimatize Supergirl and her time spent with Diana and the Amazonians was interesting. The Darkseid story was also pretty good, though I did note the similar ending to Final Crisis in regards to the Batman-Darkseid conflict. Odd.

But still the mixture of the story and the cool art make for a good comic. A very entertaining "origin" story for Supergirl. Good story, good art. Highly recommended for any Batman/Superman or Supergirl fan.

A well known arc that skates on thin ice at times, but manages to stay afloat through its memorable moments. Much of the dialogue is repetitive and has a hard time landing and some of the actions taken feel oddly out of character at times. As an introductory story, it serves its purpose, but the tedious text and sometimes questionable art choices lowers the overall experience.

Absolutely wonderful. And a great (though probably now completely superseded) origin story for the Girl of Steel.

No está mal, aunque se me hace muy corto. Me llamó mucho la atención el dibujo, ya que es una mezcla de cómic/manga, sobre todo en los ojos de los personajes. Pero en general está bastante bien haciendo media del argumento/dibujo.

Tochter von Krypton

Inhalt: In "Batman/Superman: Supergirl" findet der Leser alle zur Herkunftsgeschichte von Supergirl alias Kara Zor-El gehörenden Einzelbänden. Das Raumschiff der Kryptonierin findet Batman auf dem Grund des Hafens von Gotham. Während Superman begeistert ist vom Auftauchen einer Verwandten, steht Bruce dem Neuankömmling skeptisch gegenüber. Die Konflikte im Superheldenteam nutzt Darkseid und streckt seine Hand nach Kara aus...

Bewertung: Wenngleich ich kein riesiger Superman-Fan bin, hat mich diese Origin Story sehr interessiert. Und was soll ich sagen: Der Band weiß wirklich zu begeistern. Zwischen Batman und Superman kommt es zu deutlichen Reibereien, da beide unterschiedliche Ziele verfolgen. Kal-El begrüßt Kara mit offenen Armen und ist begeistert von richtigem Familienzuwachs. Nicht mehr der Waise von Krypton zu sein und das "Einsamkeit" aus dem Namen seiner Festung streichen zu können, lässt ihn beseelt erscheinen. Gleichzeitig zeigt sich seine unvorsichtige und aggressive Seite gegenüber allen, die seiner Cousine im Weg stehen. Dabei merkt er nicht, wie er derselbigen die Luft zum Atmen nimmt. Batman hingegen ist deutlicher vorsichtiger. Er versucht Superman zurück zu halten, wiegelt ab und begegnet der Neuen mit Skepsis und Zurückweisung. Grund dafür sind seine eigenen Erfahrungen rund um die Familie. Mit den Ereignissen aus "Ein Todesfall in der Familie" und Jasons Wiederauftauchen spielen die Autoren hier sehr stark, was Bruces Verhalten für mich nachvollziehbar gemacht hat. Gleichzeitig erkennt Clark, dass er sich auf den Dunklen Ritter verlassen kann. Als es hart auf hart kommt, steht er ohne Zögern an Kal-Els Seite. In der Mitte zwischen beiden wiederum befindet sich Kara, die stark verunsichert ist und ihren eigenen Weg sucht. Eine Teenagerin, wie sie im Buche steht, die jedoch keineswegs aufmüpfig und nervig, sondern nahbar und sympathisch erscheint. Der Leser will für sie nur das Beste und begleitet sie bei der Selbstfindung. Zeichnerisch ist das Spektakel mit viel Detailreichtum und tollen Farben umgesetzt. So kommen die Kräfte der Kryptonier, aber auch die Bosheit Darkseids bestens zur Geltung. Die Doppelseiten-Panels sind als Gemälde mehr als geeignet!

Fazit: Ein gelungenes Meisterstück mit genialen Charakteren. Unbedingt Lesen! Auch für Superman-Einsteiger! Gesamt: 5/5

A really solid story. I saw the animated movie of this a while back, but the graphic novel definitely felt more "whole" (as is the case with most books vs. movies, of course). The ending especially.... I don't remember everything from the movie, so I could be totally wrong, but I just remember the Supers kicking Darkseid's butt. I don't remember there being some deeper plan with faking Kara's death... which felt a lot smarter (rather than just being "Pow! Bam! Action!"). Of course, I admittedly watched that movie a long while ago, so I could just not be remembering it correctly. If so... disregard that entire critique, but keep the whole "smart plan" thing. Anyways... the best part is definitely Superman and Batman's thoughts alongside each other: comparing the differences and similarities between these two friends and superheroes is a fascinating character study. I also liked the mentions of Jason Todd, Donna Troy, and Dick Grayson, and the inherent comparisons to Supergirl. I love mentor relationships, so having a new one with this take on Supergirl while echoing back to those others was a definite plus. All in all... I will certainly be keeping an eye out for more of this series.

Jalan cerita lebih menarik dari "Public Enemies", cuma biasalah Dunia DC ni, komik2nya semua berdiri sendiri, tiada kesinambungan. Aku pelik sebab dalam "Public Enemies" ada Supergirl. Siri kali ni baru kali pertama jumpa Supergirl. Itulah fiksyen. Kau tak perlu terikat pun. Bebas berkarya dan mengolah-olah dunia DC ikut kreativiti penulis.

Komik ni tak sesuai untuk kanak2 dan orang islam umumnya sebab semua adiwira-adiwira/adijahat wanita berpakaian tidak senonoh. Adakah untuk memudahkan pergerakan watak atau halwa mata semata-mata untuk pembaca lelaki dan wanita lesbian? Sudahlah dilukis dengan begitu cantik sekali.

p/s: nak tengok wanita kuat yang menutup aurat boleh tengok filem "Geran" di netflix.

Jeph Loeb. He's either great or really misses the mark.
Here, he somewhat misses the mark. This was (at the time) the (re)introduction to Kara Zor-El Supergirl to the DCU - only he forgot to give her much of a character.

This story is more about other characters reacting to Kara than Kara herself. She doesn't get to do much and the overly sentimental ending didn't feel earned.

The art was also....really ugly. At for all the women characters. They looked so thin it's as if they were stretched like taffy.

The art is Rob Liefeld-esque. Urgh.

This was adapted as an animated film in the early 2000s and the film is actually better. Kara is more of a character and the finale is FAR more impactful.

there is so much to love in this book mostly because anything jeph loeb writes is absolutely magnificent to me but literally everything in this is amazing except superman. i might be a bit biased because i just finished binge reading a lot of precrisis 50’s superman but it’s made me have a searing hatred for superman and this…. does NOT help

i think superman having a heart is a good idea but oh man he is such an asshole here wnd i understand that was a point to be made but GOD did it piss me off and like he doesn’t even know kara at all she COULD be evil and he’s so controlling and gross but i absolutely love barda diana and Bruce in here they’re amazing and batman fucking up DARKSEID????? absolute fucking gold. also diana taking kara away from superman is also like such a good thing to do i absolutely love her also the little call backs to batman hush are so awesome

[Zoey · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s funny that everyone gets on Batman for being cynical, but he was right about Kara bringing destruction to Earth even if he wasn’t right about her or her character. He has to be doubtful and careful, especially because Superman wanted so badly to believe in her. That’s why I don’t fault him for being wary. Wonder Woman understood it, and for that reason, she teamed up with him to test both Kara and Superman. I think that the trinity evens each other out even when they’re at odds.

As for Kara herself, her introduction was an interesting one. It’s too bad she doesn’t remember much because that could have been an engaging plot line if she had been struggling with the cultures of Earth due to her Kryptonian upbringing as well as realizing that she’s truly the last of her kind because Clark is fundamentally of Earth. He was raised there, and his attachment to this planet will always be greater than a planet he doesn't even remember. However, maybe that's a problem for the future. They were kind of dealing with a lot.

This was a rollercoaster of a comic, and a really solid take on the origin story of Supergirl. I wasn’t the biggest fan of how Kara and the women were drawn, but asides from that, it was fun seeing her with the Amazonians. Really great character study of Superman and Batman, seeing how they work against and with each other with their different worldviews and personalities.

[Amna · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good: Reintroduction of Kara to the Modern age, Wonder Woman and the Amazons, Barda, Batman vs. Darkseid ft. Batman bluffing his ass off

Bad: I get that the art is a 'product of its time," but it's hard not to be grossed out by how grown men would draw teenage girls, and people were just... okay with that I guess.

Wartka akcja, dużo eksplozji i bicia po twarzach. Bromance Batsa i Supesa przechodzi kolejną próbę kiedy pojawia się dziewczyna. A fakt, że to kuzynka Supermana tylko komplikuje sprawę. Całkiem przyjemne czytadło.
No i karty są pełne dziewczyn od Turnera.

[Matthew Lloyd · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was part of a mini-re-read of my Supergirl comics when I happened to be at home where they were. I don't know a lot about the history of Supergirl, except what I've read on Wikipedia and in Jeph Loeb's, so I came at this story aware that there had previous Supergirl, but not really knowing how her absence and death had played into the DCU post-Crisis on Infinite Earths. It seems as if Superman has been expecting Kara from Krypton to show up, to the extent (not revealed in this volume) that he'd mis-identified Power Girl as her; furthermore there had been other, non-Kryptonian Supergirls in this inter-crisis world, but I don't know how strongly or powerfully this had been emphasised. Which is important to the storyline here, I think. Coming at this cold, Superman comes across as overly trusting while Batman has a more sensible, sceptical viewpoint - unless this is something that Superman has been waiting for ever since the last crisis, in which case his response seems entirely reasonable.

However, I didn't come at this volume completely unknowing about Kara Zor-El (I think I've seen the film, although I can't remember it too well). I'd read the first volume of this Kara's story, Supergirl, Vol. 1: Power, a little before I read it. The important contrast between that volume and this one is that it is a Kara Zor-El story whereas this is a story about Supergirl - the protagonists are Superman and Batman. This is fair enough, as it's their series, but a bad things do result from this, which can essentially be summed up as possessiveness: Superman, as her male relative, believes that he should have control of Kara's destiny, that she should stay with him so that he can teach her about Earth; Batman is simply scared of the unknown female, which he cannot predict as he has not tamed it; Wonder Woman tries to incorporated her into a society of women (beautiful women, as Batman reminds us); but little freedom is given to Kara to determine her own destiny, to decide what she wants to do. Her options seem to be live with these women, or have Clark always looking over her - I'm not really sure how those options compare.

Then, of course, there is Darkseid: he purports to give her freedom but really is even more controlling; but one wonders about the options presented to Kara and how clear it is that she would run off to live in a place where she appears to be more free, with a bad boy who offers her something more exciting than what Superman and Wonder Woman have given her. Of course he exploits and manipulates her, but one wonders how different this is to the treatment by Superman and the others.

This review owes much to knowing what happens in later volumes of this story: how the "Supergirl" identity is essentially forced on Kara, but people still talk about the responsibilities it entails; how Kara is more powerful than Clark - everyone says so - but he has learned to restrict his power and thus tries to force upon her the restrictions with which he has grown up. Apparently, it is too threatening to have a woman (or even girl) who is more powerful than a man and she must learn to restrain herself his way, rather than figure out for herself how to use her power.

The most interesting thing about Kara is that she is Superman without the baggage of being a cultural icon, without the idiotic aphorisms of Martha and Jonathan Kent, without the well-known history to determine her actions. She can't escape being his cousin, but she'd not him and shouldn't define herself solely through her relationship with him. But instead of exploring how differently things can turn out, largely this story (and to various extents those which follow) seem to be more about Kara accepting her identity as Superman's cousin than actually forming her own.

While I prefer the subsequent art in Kara's own series, there's nothing terribly wrong in this volume. One does wonder why Wonder Woman is so much slimmer and less muscular than Superman and Batman (which I can understand to a degree, but she's basically the same shape as the teenager Kara). The design of the Supergirl costume has great bits - I love how the cuffs of her sleeves go over her hands, it really gives the impression of a teenage superhero - but one wonders why a twenty-first century female superhero needs to wear a skirt (Wonder Woman never has), especially as her suit so closely resembles her cousin's that it might as well be identical, except in teenaged-girl size. This would bother me less if she'd chosen her own outfit, but she isn't given options or a say in the design process (she doesn't even know that Martha Kent is making it until after she's wearing it) but it seems as if Clark and Martha decided that what girls wear is short skirts and bare midriffs. As for what Kara herself wants to wear, well, there will be some time before we get to see that.

[Heatherblakely · Rating 2 out of 5]

Oh boy.

I picked this up before all the SDCC drama, and I wanted to read it even though I'm not 100% sure that I'm going to continue watching the show after everything that happened. The first story set is pretty good--I understand the direction of the show a little more, I like seeing Kara interact with the rest of the DC characters, etc. The second set made no sense to me and didn't feel like it wrapped up at all, and then the third one just went right over my head (Kara in high school, but I had no freaking idea why).

This entire collection reeks of misogyny, and it's incredibly obvious that an all-male team worked on this. Some of the dialogue doesn't sound like anything women would say, and the first set of stories opens up with Superman and Batman watching Supergirl. Because obviously, you can't have a story about a woman that starts with her. It has to start with men, because we trust men more than we trust women, right? It's bullshit. If you're going to do that, at least add in Diana so it feels slightly less voyeuristic and male gaze-y.

Speaking of which, the male gaze is prominent throughout this whole thing. A lot of things felt creepy rather than empowering (Kara was naked way more often than I want to see a 16yo be naked, especially when I know she's being drawn by an adult man), and then the art was disgusting. Absolutely disgusting. It's that art that people make fun of now for catering to straight cis allo white men who sit in their rooms and drool over women all day and just look at comics and porn instead of trying to talk to actual women, who grow up thinking they deserve women and that every woman was put on this earth just for them. Every woman in here had perfect hair, sizable muscles in their arms and legs--muscles are great, heroes are strong and should have muscles--and then size E or F boobs and size 0 waists. That's not how bodies work. Any cup size over a B or C isn't going to be perky as hell without support, and most women who naturally have anything over a D cup are going to have waists that are slightly bigger as well. Kara can't have size E boobs while also having a small enough torso that the reader can see her rib cage, and a waist men can wrap their hands around. It's not realistic, and it's dangerous to show women this way for so many reasons--we need to stop teaching girls that they need to look like this, and stop telling boys that they should expect women to look like this. It's art meant for men to jerk off to, plain and simple. I'm gay as hell and appreciate women's bodies, but jesus christ, I was so disgusted by the art and the way all the women were drawn that I couldn't even enjoy the parts of the stories I liked. Why would a woman wear a leotard that rides up her ass and barely contains her boobs? You can't save the world in that! It's not comfortable OR functional! And why is Poison Ivy basically in a thong and bustier? You can't destroy things like that either!

I know these were originally from 2004/2005, but good lord.

If you're a Supergirl fan and want to read this, read the first part and try to ignore how everyone is drawn, and then stop. Most of this isn't worth the read.



Actually, originally I gave this three stars, but I'm so angry about the art that I'm dropping it down to two.

[MC · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay, some of the actions of the characters were a bit off to me, but I still thoroughly enjoyed this story. Not just because Supergirl is major fan-service either. It's other areas.

Most notably the leads. Supes and Bats kick major ass here. And Batman, despite being mortal, fearlessly takes a beating from Darkseid, one of the most powerful beings in the entire multiverse, and gets Darkseid to not just not kill him, but to back down.

The story is straight-forward. When Crisis on Infinite Earths occurred, an editorial decision was made to kill off the other Kryptonians and make Superman the true sole survivor of Krypton.

Over time, this was relaxed as the desire for a counterpart to Superman was too great. Other versions were introduced, before finally the okay to reintroduce Kara Zor-El was made. This is that reintroduction.

I know Supergirl got a bad rap and the new 52 (now just the new period) version of Supergirl is more popular, but I like the down homesiness of this one as well. Can't wait to start more adventures on this iteration.

As always, I love the friendship of Clark and Bruce and the respect and camaraderie they have for each other. Much better than these stupid stories of them not being friends.

[Zorlon Zorlon · Rating 4 out of 5]

I didn't know Supergirl had been neatly excised from the DC universe until the always awesome Jeph Loeb brought her back in this story. A Kryptonite meteor explodes over Earth. Batman finds a part of it in Gotham harbor...and a spaceship! Then a weird naked girl appears in Gotham City impervious to bullets and flying around and shit. A naive Superman welcomes the discovery of someone else from his dead homeworld. A more practical Batman is suspicious to the point of roping in the old standby Wonder Woman to bring everyone back into line. Oh, and why is Darkseid lurking in the shadows? Comicky bookiness at its height. Batman's climactic checkmate of Darkseid is precious.

[Rattoni · Rating 3 out of 5]

Turner´s art is really good, the colors are also amazing, the underwater, space, and figting sceens really take advantage of the computer color techniques. The story is kind of loose. Probably the most interesting parts are the intospections that superman and batman have. In the end things tend to be solved quite easily,

This was done into a movie, which is quite bad. They kept the artistic style of Turner, but change some things of the script that does not help at all.

[Felicia · Rating 3 out of 5]

In general, the lady superheroes just arent as deep as the guys, right? I liked the art here, but this was more from Batman/Superman POV. I did enjoy it, but at the end of the day they didn't fill out Supergirl as much as I wish they had.
