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

2. The Cape

James Olsen presenting Kara with the blanket Kal-El arrived on Earth in to use as a cape is one of the trailer's best moments (though it does raise the question of what Superman is using for a cape as he's traditionally been the one to use that blanket). It also sheds some light on the role he will play in the series as an intermediately between her and Supes. Why though would Kara need an indestructible cape when she made her own costume? Well, many of the comic books have pointed out that Kryptonian physiology works in a way which makes the clothes close to their skin as invulnerable as them, explaining why her costume isn't damaged by those bullets. It's a silly explanation, but expect it to be used here.
