Superman : Legacyis set to includeDavid Corenswet ’s Man of Steeland at least four other DCU paladin . Supergirl could team up with Superman and the other heroes , showing how she experience around them before going solo forSupergirl : Woman of Tomorrow . Gunn also previously teased Krypto ’s DCU debut inSuperman : Legacy .

In the DCEU , Supergirl only showed up for one picture show . Sasha Calle played a multiverse version of Supergirl that debut and die inThe Flash , never interacting with Henry Cavill ’s Superman .
