The Flash will show an alternate reality version of Man of Steel, with Supergirl's role also taking Man of Steel's controversial ending further.
The Flash movie is doubling down on a controversial element of Man of Steel. In The Flash, Barry Allen makes the decision to travel back in time to prevent the murder of his mother Nora and the wrongful imprisonment of his father Henry for it. Unfortunately, Barry's actions end up creating an alternate reality in which General Zod is once more leading Krypton's forces to terraform Earth, forcing Barry to team-up with unlikely allies to save the world.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Barry's allies include Michael Keaton's returning Batman, a younger version of Barry himself, and a Kryptonian refugee named Kara Zor-El . The latter is well-known as Superman's cousin Supergirl, and the glimpses that have been shown of her in the trailers indicate that Kara will be one of the most powerful characters in The Flash.
In Man of Steel, Superman fights Zod in a dead-even battle through the skies of Metropolis, and finally manages to gain the upper hand only for Zod to attack a terrified family with his heat vision. Superman begs him to stop, but after Zod growls "Never!", Superman is forced to snap Zod's neck.
Why Supergirl Killing Enemies Will Be Less Controversial With The Flash being DC's big multiverse movie, the story is essentially an alternate version of Man of Steel inspired by the Flashpoint comics story. The fact that it mainly takes place in an alternate reality alleviates it from adhering to mainline continuity concerns or potential criticisms from that.
With all of these factors at play, Supergirl's role in The Flash will likely not face the kind of controversy of Man of Steel, especially with an apocalyptic story like Flashpoint as its basis. Even still, The Flash revisiting of Man of Steel through an alternate reality lens is even more intriguing with Supergirl being more prone to kill compared to Superman being devastated he even had to do it once.
