Who plays Supergirl in ‘The Flash’ movie?

Originally titled Flashpoint before it was retitled, the film is inspired by the storyline of the comic book of the same name by Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert. The comic book story sees the Flash travel to an alternate reality where his mother is alive, but here, Superman never existed and Thomas and Martha Wayne weren’t gunned down in Crime Alley, their son Bruce Wayne was. 

While the trailer for the film telegraphs the differences between the film and the comic, they are still using some similar set pieces and characters from the book. Instead of having Thomas Wayne become a darker Batman, they are using Michael Keation’s version of the character, and in place of Kal-El being hidden away after his ship land, it’s his cousin Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl steals the spotlight in the trailer for the film, with her and Michael Keaton being the standouts.

So, in case, you are wondering who’s playing Superman’s super cousin, it’s time to take a look, and know everything you need to know about Supergirl in The Flash.
