Supergirl in Justice League: Earth's Final Defense


I have seen bits and pieces of the new iPhone game Justice League:Earth's Final Defense scattered over the web. The most recent look was at Comic Alliance which reviewed the game. Here is that link:

While you start out playing as one of the Trinity, it seems like you have any number of other DC characters to unlock and play.

One if them is none other than Supergirl in her pre-New 52 midriff baring costume.

I have to be honest, if 5 years ago you would tell me that Supergirl would be featured in any video game, I would have thought you were crazy. And yet we have her as a playable character in 2 games this year - Batman Lego 2 and now Earth's Final defense.

I have said it before but it is worth repeating. I think the last 5 years have been a golden era for Supergirl fans. She has been everywhere!


As for the game, here is the official trailer on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1BDkX0RKnI

I do find it interesting that you can also choose different costumes - the JMS pants wearing Wonder Woman, the Gotham by Gaslight Batman, and the Batman Beyond Superman.

I haven't played the game so if anyone can tell me if it is worth it, that would be great.

How great is it that Supergirl was included!

The game's fine,it is indeed a nice brawler in the vein of the Justice League Heroes game that came 6 years ago,but fit for the i-Phone and improved nicely for a different experience.

Though I have to say,it's not the last 5,it's the last 6 years that she is everywhere.In the end of 2006,when Justice League Heroes came out for the PSP,she was one of the playable characters.Even if it was her Peter David costume of Linda Lee,she was still a blast to play as,along with Black Canary,Kyle Ryner and Hal Jordan.

If you can,check both of them out and if you or your kids have a PSP,I recomend getting Justice League Heroes as it is worth it.

I would've believed she could've been successful anywhere in the Loeb era. The Superman/Batman Supergirl arc was a huge success with top level talent and her series was selling well over six figures, making Supergirl one of DC's top selling books and often the top selling non-team book. It was an unbelievable era for Supergirl and one that never seemed possible before. Unfortunately, after major changes, her sales fell to numbers similar to those that got Peter David's series cancelled.

I'm glad to hear, now that she once again has a great book and great team working on her, she is being featured in video games and cartoons. Hopefully she can get a TV Series, movie, or her own animated series. After all, if I have to sit through Smallville, Green Arrow (seriously, he gets a show), and Captain America...

Amen to the last poster who is telling it like it is.-
Loeb was one of us. He spitted on the face of the DC Satanists "Church of Isis" (his family, after all, was instrumental in their plan, as in "Kuhn & Loeb & Satan, Inc in the early XX Century) and nobody could override his pro-supergirlishness.-
But then the Satanists who still today run so-called "DC" (aka the Church of Isis) got panicked.
After 50 years of painfully constructing the godess Isis (aka Maria Magdalena, Semiramis, Lady Liberty, Ninhursag, Lucifer, Diana-Lucifera, etc) our Supergirl was getting ahead efortlessly.-

Then they killed her off again silently. She was out of "Infinite stupidity" in 2006 on purpose...to let their Isis (aka "Wonder-Lucifer-Woman-Rockefeller Satanists one Godess in Heaven) shine again undisturbed.-

btw...the Rockefeller Titanic/Euro/Fed/Rotschilds/Fake "jews" Kazahars/ Saxe-Coburgs/ECB/ &Mario Monti et-all hit the dust next month...
THEN so-called "DC Comix" stops being only a front for Satanists!
Enjoy!
