Supergirl: Rise

Great power comes with great responsibility

The first film in the Supergirl series. It's been two years since the Man of Steel was last seen on or anywhere near Earth. Kara Danvers has searched near and far, even flying to the farthest reaches of outer space to locate her last remaining kin. She worries that he abandoned her. Encouraged by Lois Lane and her adopted family to settle in and make a life for herself, she becomes a writer and freelance journalist in National City. She finds friends and romance but can't find the same interest in saving humans like her cousin did. She discovers a message and gift left to her by her parents at the Fortress of Solitude that changes her trajectory forever, just in time for a new kind of apocalyptic threat from beyond the stars to wreak havoc on the planet. Superman is not coming to save the day. It's time for Supergirl to rise, take up the legacy of her family, and be the beacon of hope her new home needs.
