Based on the article, here is a summary of the storyline from the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow comics, which serves as the inspiration for the upcoming DC Studios movie:A Definitive Story for SupergirlWhile Supergirl has been a DC Comics staple since 1959, the article notes that she lacked a single, definitive story that truly encapsulated her character until the release of the Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow run[1].Kara's Trauma and the SetupThe story opens on Kara Zor-El’s 21st birthday. Rather than portraying her as bubbly and optimistic, the comic finds her deeply depressed and drinking heavily at a bar on a planet with a red sun[1]. Because red suns strip Kryptonians of their powers, Kara is able to get drunk to drown her sorrows[1]. The story highlights her core trauma: unlike her cousin Superman, who left Krypton as an infant, Kara was a teenager who vividly remembers watching her family and entire civilization die[1]. Her only companion is Krypto the Superdog[1].The Inciting IncidentKara is approached by a young alien girl named Ruthye Marye Knoll, who wants to hire Supergirl to kill Krem of the Yellow Hills—the man who murdered her father in cold blood[1]. Kara initially refuses, citing the Superman family's strict no-kill rule[1]. However, when Krem shoots Krypto with a poisoned arrow and steals Kara's spaceship, a furious Kara changes her mind and agrees to help Ruthye track him down[1].An Intergalactic Revenge QuestNarrated by Ruthye in the style of a tall tale or folk legend, the story follows the duo as they journey across the galaxy, planet hopping without the use of Kara's powers[1]. They eventually track Krem down, discovering he has joined a vicious group of intergalactic pirates known as Barbond's Brigands[1]. The adventure also features magical elements and appearances by Comet the Super Horse[1].The ResolutionWhen Supergirl and Ruthye finally catch up to Krem, Kara is forced to decide whether she will break her moral code and fulfill her vow to kill him[1]. Ultimately, she chooses not to take his life[1]. Instead, she banishes Krem to the Phantom Zone to exist as a specter for 300 years—a punishment described as a fate worse than death, but one that eventually allows him a second chance at lifeVisit  https://nerdist.com/article/what-happens-superglrl-woman-of-tomorrow-comics/  to read or listen to the article.Powered by Instaread (https://instaread.co/player)

Verizon’s "Butt Dial" Horror Ad Starring Connor StorrieVerizon has released a highly entertaining 4.5-minute short film/commercial titled Look Behind You, directed by Nia DaCosta (Candyman) and starring Connor Storrie (Heated Rivalry).
