It's nice to see that everybody since Jeph Loeb and Joe Kelly (i.e. SUPERGIRL #23 onwards) seem to be in agreement about that - only babies get shot into space naked. (Baby PeeGee was sooo cute!) “Points for allowing her to leave Argo with her clothes on.”

No worries about spoiling me, I wouldn't have heard about it otherwise as I'm avoiding Blackest Night. But for that I'll, "ahem", track down the relevant issue just to see. Thanks for mentioning it! “Michelle, I’d love to hear your thoughts about the return of Zor-El in Superman: Blackest Night (Sorry if I spoiled anything)”

I was addressing this exact thing (mostly the Supergirl origin in how it compares to the original origin and all the loose ends etc.) with my local comic shop clerk. After listening to me rant about the whole ordeal I ask him for his thoughts. He hit me back with "It's Supergirl... who cares?" Giving him a stern look and slamming down my stack of random Supergirl back issues to put the finishing pieces of my collection together, I showed him my Supergirl tattoo on my leg and shouted "I care, assh*le". But I digress... As I read this, I couldn't help but shout out load in agreeance with your thoughts behind the origin story and Brainiac story. I too hope that Jor-El's ideas are validated. Gene, you know if WB made a Supergirl animated movie they would most definitely come up with some original origin story that would be beyond lame. Outside of Supergirl/Superman comic titles, I believe Supergirl has never been written well by anyone. Even her brief animated appearances in Batman, Superman, and Justice League where just kinda lame... A Crisis on Infinite Earths animated movie would be the way to show everyone how much of hero/badass Kara really is/was. on another note, Michelle, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the return of Zor-El in Superman: Blackest Night (Sorry if I spoiled anything) THANK YOU!!

I want to see some in-story confirmation that Brainiac prematurely triggered Krypton’s destruction, and have Jor-El’s predictions be validated." That would be an excellent question for "Ask Matt" on the Superman Homepage. I also like this small revision of Kara's origins. Points for allowing her to leave Argo with her clothes on. If Warner Brothers releases a Supergirl animated movie, I hope they adapt the Superman: Brainiac story if they do not come up with an orignial (non-origin) Supergirl story of their own. “I think this is a really important plot point that was missed and should have been followed up on.
