Powergirl's portrayal was off


I really wasn't a fan of her at all in this movie. In the comics she had always struck me as being a strong character, in this she was just weak, flimsy, and wishy washy. She seemed mousey and unsure of herself and that is just not fitting of the character.

Sure, when Superman was accused of murder she backed him up, but she was really weak about it, there was no real conviction behind it. She pretty much backed him up based on a child's blind faith that Superman just couldn'ta done that bad thing he just couldn'ta. She makes a very weak protest only to let Lex Luthor shut her down with that weak ass "If I've changed so much, couldn't he?" speech, pat her on the head and tell her to run along.

Even when she takes out Major Force it was pretty much done as a tantrum. She gets furious when she finds out he helped frame Superman and launches a completely un-thought out attack that ends up endangering the entire city. Captain Atom manages to avert the disaster, but it nearly costs him his life.

And of course, don't get me started on her screaming like a damsel in distress when she's being attacked by Lex Luthor.
