DC has shared a first look inside From Comic to Screen: The Art of Supergirl, a curated exploration of Kara Zor‑El's evolution across sequential art and film.

The book traces the character's visual and narrative lineage from the acclaimed Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comic to her cinematic reinvention in DC Studios' upcoming Supergirl movie.

It's said that this hardcover volume will invite readers into the artistic process behind both the comic and movie, "offering an in-depth look at how a contemporary vision of a DC icon is shaped, refined, and brought to life on the page and ultimately the big screen."

Authored by James Field, this 224-page collection brings together concept art, production design, annotated script pages, and various other never-before-seen materials that illuminate the dialogue between comic and film.

Featuring visuals from the creative team behind Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow—writer Tom King, artist Bilquis Evely, and colorist Matheus Lopes—the volume places their work in conversation with the film’s bracing and otherworldly visual language.

Evely’s expressive illustrations appear alongside early cinematic explorations, revealing how themes, motifs, and character moments travelled from layout to finished page, and from storyboard to set. New interviews with the comic’s creators and the filmmakers behind the much-anticipated summer epic provide insight into the collaborative process that guided Kara’s transformation across mediums.

With an introduction by DC Studios and an afterword by DC Comics' Jim Lee, From Comic to Screen: The Art of Supergirl "stands as both a celebration of the character’s legacy and a document of her rebirth. It is a testament to the continuing relevance and resonance of this DC trailblazer—and to the artists, writers, and filmmakers shaping her place in the DC Universe."

In the preview pages below, we have new shots of Milly Alcock in costume as the Maid of Might, Jason Momoa looking suitably fierce as the DCU's Lobo, and some of Evely's early Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow sketches.

Supergirl, DC Studios' newest feature film to hit the big screen, arrives in theaters worldwide next summer from Warner Bros. Pictures, and stars Milly Alcock in the dual role of Supergirl/Kara Zor-El. Craig Gillespie directs the film from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira.

When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice. Alcock stars alongside Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and Jason Momoa.

The film is executive produced by Nigel Gostelow, Chantal Nong Vo and Lars P. Winther. Behind the camera, Gillespie is joined by director of photography Rob Hardy, production designer Neil Lamont, editor Tatiana S. Riegel, costume designer Anna B. Sheppard, Visual Effects Supervisor Geoffrey Baumann, and composer Ramin Djawadi Junkie XL Claudia Sarne.

Supergirl arrives in theaters on June 26, 2026.

I really dig they have Kara’s coat in the film since it’s just a cool look imo aswell as fits the space western vibe they seem to be going for to an extent.

OT.: Holy shit, that looks like all kinds of fun!



And that's coming from someone who likes both Tekken and MK over SF.

@TemporarilyHere - I love how they seemed to have embrace the craziness of that world.

I know, right? It's almost like, oh I don't know, embracing the tone of source material makes both fans and newcomers open to it!

Crazy, I know.

@TemporarilyHere - ehhh , I’m fan of creatives experimenting

Hell , I know some that don’t feel this is Street Fighter either so it’s just one owns interpretation I feel.

It’s more or less working for me though.

Call me weird, but I'm not really a fan of the old SF anime. Too serious for my tastes, when it's about a source material with great variety of characters.

This, on the other hand, feels more fittingly campy and crazy fun, in a way that feels neither entirely unfamiliar nor unnaturally forced.

Worst case scenario, I can see it ending up as a guilty pleasure flick.

@TemporarilyHere - that’s fair

I feel all these franchises or adapted IP’s to an extent can be interpreted in a variety of ways that can be cool suffered true to the source.

It’s why I like being open minded and seeing how creatives adapt these worlds & characters because it can be fun to see how someone may have interpreted something differently then you or even the same.

Eh, I think the whole thing boils down to the creatives' intent, or sometimes lack thereof.

In projects like this, you can tell when someone wants to give their own spin to a story they love through an adaptation in another medium, regardless of what limitations that different medium may bring. Take One Piece on Netflix, for instance. Is it a 1:1 of the story in the manga? F#ck no. But it's a damn good adaptation for a live-action show (again, given the medium's limitations) and I'm certaily thankful for it.

This is the vibe I'm getting from this one too. I see Ken's and Ryu's bromance/rivalry, Zangief's build and chest hair, Dhalsim's elasticity, Guile's (clearly wired) but pretty accurate backflip kicks, Andre's showman vibes as Don Sauvage, and I'm getting an all-around positive vibe of celebration for the source material. Not the kind of edgy angst that tries to retcon it as more "mature" or "adult" than it really is, you know?

@TemporarilyHere - again , that’s certainly a valid pov

I also think when people say be true to the spirit of the thing and in like “what is this spirit”

That could be something different for me then it is you too

Like for example , Bernthal’s Punisher…

I love him because of how human he is yet how monstrous he can be while others don’t feel that’s the Punisher.

@TemporarilyHere - Oh yeah! that's the vibe we need. If MK does itself justice with the inclusion and comedy with Johnny Cage i think it will only increase the chances of Street Fighter being a success.

The CGI on Momoa looks weak though, but that's to be expected with an all animated character in a live action movie..unless it's Avatar.
