Supergirl Film Ditches Magical Horse for Clarity
4 Jul
Summary
- Comet the Super-Horse was excluded to avoid confusing the audience.
- The character risked competing with Krypto for early narrative focus.
- Supergirl's narrative already includes many characters and elements.
Supergirl screenwriter Ana Nogueira revealed why the character of Comet the Super-Horse was not included in the upcoming DCU film. Nogueira stated that introducing Comet would have potentially confused audiences as the film establishes the new DCU world.
The narrative focus is crucial, and Comet's inclusion risked competing with Krypto, Supergirl's established canine companion. Significant screen time is dedicated to Kara and Krypto's journey to Earth from Krypton.
Furthermore, the character's origin as a cursed centaur from 1962 adds a layer of complexity that was deemed unnecessary for this particular film. Given the presence of Supergirl, Lobo, and Argo City, fitting Comet into the narrative was considered too much for one movie.
