- Despite the flop, DC Studios co-head Peter Safran expressed confidence in the broader long-term strategy of the DC Universe, emphasizing that Supergirl is just one part of their plan.
- Supergirl received mixed reviews with a 56% Rotten Tomatoes score, and criticism has focused on its storyline and certain creative choices, contributing to its lackluster box office performance.
