Supergirl Trailer: 25 Easter Eggs And References You Need To See

12. Supergirl, Not Superwoman

These days, it wouldn't be at all surprising for someone somewhere to kick off about the fact that Supergirl is named "SuperGIRL" here rather than "SuperWOMAN". There has been a Superwoman in the comic books (most recently as a member of the Crime Syndicate), but it's a name which is more closely associated with Lois Lane than any of the Supergirls. Regardless, with just a single scene between Kara and Cat, the TV series does a surprisingly good job of making it clear why there's actually nothing wrong with the hero being called Supergirl. This probably won't silence some bloggers/Twitter users, but it's interesting that those behind the scenes decided to include this sort of justification for the name at all.
