Blink and you'll miss it dark shot of Lobo at 1:35?
Not all that excited for this. Superman didn't do much for me, and Peacemaker s2 was a serious letdown.

They've been rebooting Superman a little too much over the years, and Supergirl is long overdue a brand new adventure. The Flash was welcome of course, but she was a supporting alternative-dimension character in that one. Kudos to Sasha Calle for making the most of that one-off portrayal of Kara...
Supergirl isn't a character I really care about; I don't hate her but I also don't love her; the stories I've enjoyed that she was in were never specifically her stories. That being said the movie looks well made and fun so I will certainly see this, it is just not opening night at IMAX kind of anticipation. I save that for live action sequels to live action Disney remakes.

Based on the fact that Superman flew off the big screen in record time, I guess I'll be seeing this on the small screen.

James Gunn told ScreenRant that “Superman” is arriving early on digital platforms such as Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home and more so that viewers are able to watch the summer blockbuster ahead of “Peacemaker” Season 2 launching Aug. 21 on HBO Max.
“Superman” effectively launched Gunn’s new DC Universe. “Peacemaker” is the next title in the universe, with Gunn having said already in several interviews that the events of “Superman” directly play into Season 2 of the John Cena-led comic book series. Characters introduced in “Superman,” including Hawkgirl (Isabela Merced) and Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), even make appearances in “Peacemaker” Season 2.
“Superman” is arriving on PVOD digital platforms Friday, Aug. 15, more or less a month after it opened in theaters July 11 from Warner Bros. and DC Studios. Many comic book movie fans expressed disappointment at Warner Bros. for bringing “Superman” to digital so soon after its theatrical opening since the movie has proven to be a box office smash hit with $334 million and counting domestically. The film is nearing $600 million globally as well. “Superman” has seen solid weekend holds at the box office, earning a strong $7 million in its fifth and most recent outing.
When ScreenRant’s Liam Crowley told Gunn that it was heartbreaking to see “Superman” already “going to digital because I love a good, long theatrical campaign,” Gunn agreed by saying, “Me too.” The writer-director then explained the divisive decision.
“Well, it’s very complicated, but the truth is it is because of ‘Peacemaker,'” Gunn said. “I originally thought ‘Peacemaker’ was going to be coming out next month. There was a lot of things that are beyond our control, so that ‘Peacemaker’ is coming out now, and, at the end of the day, I wanted everyone to be able to see ‘Superman’ that wanted to, even those people who couldn’t get to a theater before ‘Peacemaker.’ And that’s really the reason for it.”
“Superman” will continue to play in theaters even as it launches on digital platforms.
There's no indication that they will have to do the same with Supergirl.

Right? There are just certain roles that are made for certain actors. Some you don't see till they're in them (Jackman with Wolverine, Chris Hemsworth with Thor) some you can see from a mile away (Reynolds with Deadpool, Chris Evans and Cap).
Honestly I'm pretty excited about it. I didn't think I'd like the new superman but it was really fun and this looks to carry it on.

I'm having trouble finding any enthusiasm for it, tbh. It looks fine but it it is coming across as something I'll watch on streaming. Probably a combination of Supergirl not being a character I care that much about and a hint of comic movie burnout.

You are gonna wait a bit longer to see it. WB announced that they are going to leave their movies in theaters longer (up to 45 days) in order to get home viewers back into theaters.

Here's hoping her recent comments don't harm the film too much and let it sink or swim on it's own merits.

I guess I'm not the target audience.... unlike MOTU... I ordered my tickets!

Glad to see that they're keeping humor in the film...
