An alleged description of the Supergirl teaser trailer has leaked online, and if accurate, it suggests the movie is leaning even harder into the comedic, offbeat tone James Gunn brought to Superman, Peacemaker, and Creature Commandos.
The teaser mixes humor with a frantic action montage, setting a tone far removed from the classic Supergirl fans know.
Krypto Opens the Trailer With a Joke
The description claims the teaser begins with Krypto casually lifting his leg and peeing on a space rock.
Kara appears moments later, waking up hungover, looking disheveled and annoyed. It’s a comedic setup that mirrors how she was introduced at the end of Superman, where she stumbled in drunk and uninterested.
This appears to be the movie’s way of establishing Kara’s personality right out of the gate.
Blondie Track Kicks Off the Action
As soon as Blondie’s music starts, the trailer apparently shifts into a rapid-fire action reel. Kara blasts through cosmic environments, fights alien creatures, and flies at high speed as the editing jumps between scenes.
The description calls the tone “fun, rebellious, and action-packed,” though fans already see it as another sign Gunn is leaning heavily into stylized humor instead of the more traditional heroic approach.
Supergirl trailer description:
Fun, rebellious, and action-packed.
Music: Featuring a track by Blondie.
The teaser opens with a surprisingly grounded and comedic beat: we see Krypto the Superdog casually lifting his leg to pee on a space rock. The camera pans to Kara (Supergirl), who is waking up looking disheveled, groggy, and clearly nursing a massive hangover. As she tries to gather herself, the iconic sound of Blondie kicks in, shifting the energy instantly. The trailer explodes into a fast-paced montage of stylized action. We see Kara blasting through cosmic environments, delivering brutal punches to alien threats, and flying with aggressive speed. The vibe is distinct from Superman—it’s grittier, louder, and colorful, focusing on a Supergirl who is ready to fight.

More Signs of Gunn’s DCU Direction
If this leak is accurate, Supergirl is continuing the same tone that sparked debate with Gunn’s Superman. Instead of a dramatic character arc, the focus seems to be on style, attitude, and comedic edge.
The description also reinforces concerns tied to the Woman of Tomorrow adaptation, which already portrayed Kara as bitter, abrasive, and rough around the edges. A hungover opening scene lines up with that direction.
Gunn also released a message to fans at CCXP.
Fans Will Decide When the Trailer Drops
Nothing is confirmed until WB releases the teaser publicly, but if this leak reflects the real footage, expect a mixed reaction.
Some will enjoy the humor. Others will see it as more evidence that the DCU is pushing too far into Gunn’s signature style, even for characters who have historically been portrayed very differently.
Either way, the tone seems set — and it’s not subtle.
