Now that Melisa Benoist's television version of Supergirl is a hit, can we just pause a moment to reflect on Helen Slater's movie version of Kara?
She may have been given a bad movie with a terrible script that had her fighting a witch over a boyfriend, but Helen Slater sure gave us a good looking Supergirl-
Heck, she even knew how to be a true DC movie hero in the important ways, too -
Product placement!
Her earnest performance and true-to-character looks were the best part of the film, by far. It's good to see she's a part of the show that follows in her footsteps. (Not to mention to see a show that treats the character with some respect)
