Speaking as someone who has successfully changed the law as part of a campaign that was initially motivated by anger.

I just reread the book and that’s not what the film is going to be. It’s a comic book about genocide and about how a super-super-powered being like Supergirl deals with the horrors of that. Not the kind of thing you’ll see with a major superhero movie.

I am confident that it’ll be good fun, though.
