Dude, you're two generations behind.
I've already got the R0808008-rayz.
Supergirl is awesome in that format.

Another Supergirl movie would inevitably be what the last one was and what her character is in general, a cash-in on her cousin's popularity. NEXT!
If they did the movie right it wouldn't

I'm sick of this line, how often do they do a movie right? Anything can be great if done right, that's a given. But the likely hood of it being "done right" is zero
Actually the likely hood would depend on who was doing it. You look at the title and say no chance of been good but isn't that a bit ignorant? SuperGirl has comic fans this is a given or her comics wouldn't sell.
So really what makes "the likely hood of it being "done right" is zero"? Is it because you yourself don't want to see it? Because that would be a little stupid to think like that.
Is it the fact it had a bad movie before? Because so did Spider-man , Batman and many more.
Is it the fact the lead would be a female? If so sexist
Is it because I said it?
Really I'm just wondering. Not trying to be an arse or anything just have a curiosity. The fact is Supergirl could work as movie and work well with the right person for example let's say warner brothers and DC got Joss Whedon to do it. Tell me "Joss Whedon's Supergirl" would have zero chance of been good.
OK, name a Supergirl story from the comics that would actually be good. I'd much rather see the Legion of Superheroes get a movie than Supergirl. Or JSA, or the Flash, or a number of projects that have never had a chance to come to screen. Supergirl had its chance in the original. It failed, utterly.
Going by that, Batman had it's chance with batman and robin but failed so Batman begins never should have happened. You see my point?

No its the fact the the character is a lame rehash off of another character, that it. Nothing to do with a female lead, or prior movies, but the fact that the characters herself isn't a strong character or even original. Plus there's a dozen of DC movies I'd rather see first than getting to the carbon copies. It's likely the movie will either turn out to be "Superman with B00BS!" "Or a stereotypically lame girl power fiasco" Now if the made it into a Power Girl movie, alternating the story enough so that it doesn't become a carbon copy of Superman, retooling her into her own, stand-alone, hero, I would be all for that.

But Batman actually has stories to pull from in the comics. I can't think of one Supergirl story that has any merit. And like Random said, she's a rehash of a much, much, much, much better character.

You probably haven't read many Supergirl stories.
She's a great character and I would see a new movie about her.

I'm not saying she's a bad character, just not one strong enough to carry her own movie while sticking to the "Superman's cousin" shtick. In comics and cartoons where you can stretch how workable concepts like those she works great. I just think that if it translates to the big screen it will be lame
Well if they started with a story like "Supergirl - Power" Tweak it just a bit to remove batman and it a pretty damn good start to a supergirl movie and would be very diffrent to a Superman movie.
Supergirl: Power, Is about her coming to earth and having to cope with things like how Clark is older yet she is just 16, She has to get use to her powers, Cope with the fact she is in another world with very diffrent people.
Where as Superman movie is about him rising to test of been a hero and saving the day.
Supergirl would be more of a self-discovering journey. Yes she would save the day BUT it's not about the end with this it's about the journey. She is a more human charracter than Clark. It could be very fun and also very interesting to see.
There have been many great supergirl titles but I'm only mentioning that one as the movie would need to be a new reboot and that is one of the best places to start

A teenage girl with super powers and a secret ID could be a really fun movie. It might not be marketed towards us, but it could still be good.

That would be good, but having the character be a superman rehash wouldn't work. That's all I'm saying

Supergirl isn't really a Superman rehash. She has a lot more in common with Superboy, only in "modern" times and with a different gender, which is a bigger difference than you might suspect.
Plus, not only was she orphaned when her planet exploded, but she spent most of her career in an orphanage around other orphaned girls. It's an interesting dynamic, and she's only getting crapped on by people that don't know anything about her.

An alien from a dying planet is sent to Earth on a space ship, has super strength flight, etc. and wears a red "s" on her chest with primary colors... yep that's really different

If they could get someone like Elizabeth Banks to play Supergirl, instead of someone like Jessica Alba, then maybe I'd consider seeing the Supergirl movie.

That's superficial stuff and you know it. It has nothing to do with what the character is about.
Bingo
