After the relative failure of Superman III at the box office, Christopher Reeve was understandably reluctant to continue with a franchise that has seemingly lost its way. However, the Salkinds were still keen to continue the saga and thus decided to spin the series off by introducing Superman’s cousin, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl. The film would be directed by Jeannot Szwarc, who had a hit with Jaws 2 and had previously directed Christopher Reeve to great effect in the romance Somewhere in Time. To play Supergirl, Helen Slater, a virtual unknown, was chosen. Unfortunately, the film itself would be something of a financial disaster, opening to poor reviews, bad box office, and even being scuttled by the studio that initially financed it (Warner Bros). So what happened? We’ll tell you in this week’s edition of DC Revisited: Supergirl!
