Supergirl Rumor Says Villains Are Sex-Trafficking Losers

by

The DCU’s Supergirl movie continues to generate the wrong kind of buzz.

A recent rumor suggests the movie’s villains are a group of inept criminals who kidnap women for sexual exploitation. This would be a significant and potentially upsetting change from the source material.

A reliable source on X, known as ViewerAnon, hinted at the upcoming villain’s storyline with a sarcastic comment: “You’ll love it.”

Fans are already playfully criticizing a new poster for Supergirl (which appears to be created by a fan). The poster shows the hero enjoying a slushie with sunglasses and a dog, and it uses the film’s actual tagline, a playful twist on Superman’s motto: “Truth. Justice. Whatever.”

“This Looks Gayer Than Will in Stranger Things”

ViewerAnon commented on a popular post that made fun of the original poster’s writing style, stating: “This sounds more stereotypically gay than Will’s portrayal of being gay on Stranger Things.”

I have to admit, I was a little disappointed when I first saw the image. It just didn’t feel quite right – it seemed like they were trying to be quirky, and honestly, it came across as a bit bland, almost like a watered-down version of what Marvel usually does. It didn’t really grab me, and a lot of other fans seem to feel the same way.

Even though the image might not be official, people have noticed the Supergirl design shares similarities with Peter Quill from Guardians of the Galaxy – specifically in the coat, headphones, and a similar cool, detached attitude.

Some reviewers feel the show’s lighthearted approach doesn’t match the serious nature of the original story, and recent speculation about the villain is making that problem even more noticeable.

Woman of Tomorrow Comic Never Had That Plot

Although the movie is based on Tom King’s popular 2021 comic, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, it seems to be making major changes to the story.

I just finished reading a Supergirl comic that really stuck with me. It sends Kara on a surprisingly dark space adventure with a young alien named Ruthye. The story centers around Ruthye’s father, who was murdered by a villain called Krem of the Yellow Hills – and the chase to bring him to justice (or is it revenge?) spans the entire galaxy. What I found most compelling was how the comic explored the blurry lines between right and wrong, and how Supergirl dealt with some seriously tough emotional challenges. It’s not your typical superhero fare, that’s for sure.

As a huge fan of the source material, I can tell you straight up – there’s absolutely no storyline about sex trafficking or women being kidnapped and forced into slavery in the comics. It’s just not part of the original story at all.

If that detail is accurate, it’s a completely made-up story added for the film, and it fits with James Gunn’s tendency to share surprising and sometimes controversial information about the new DC Universe.

As a result of the rumor, users on X are already stating the villains are “white men.”

Krem’s Look Reportedly Changed by Gunn

Gunn also drastically redesigned the look of Krem to fit the goofy tone.

Krem is portrayed as a creepy and emotionless alien in the comic book. However, the movie version of the character is more silly and over-the-top.

As a big superhero movie fan, I’m starting to worry about Supergirl. It feels like the show is taking potentially really impactful and serious storylines and… well, making them feel a little too lighthearted, almost like a Marvel movie. It’s like they’re leaning into a more playful tone when a more dramatic approach might be better.

A recent report suggests Warner Bros. is worried about the potential failure of Supergirl in 2026, seeing it as a major risk.
