Supergirl Forum

Maybe he wants his Supergirl to look like the Michael Turner version.

What does his art have to do with making you miss Linda Danvers? I'm not making the connection?

@Visage: That's what my guess is.

" Michael drew Kara the best. "

Agreed.

I don't think the problem is her skinniness or arms/legs. I think her torso is just way too long.

Turner was involved in some pretty great comics and the pictures he drew were beautiful, but c'mon everyone, be honest: all of his characters look the same.  It's like he used a template and then just switched out hair colors and slightly changed some jaw angles.  Look at how ridiculously similar Bruce and Kent look unmasked and notice how Witchblade and Lara and Kara and Diana are really, really, really similar.   
 
And what's with the thong half way up Kara's waist?  If it were any higher, she could wear it around her shoulders.  I mean, really.

@fred9101: Hey, thanks.  I think it's funny that so many people defend Turner after you pointed out the problem with Churchill is that he draws Supergirl on a nearly (if not past) anorexic level--clearly the pictures DEGRAFF posted by Turner have much the same problem, if not worse.  Look at the picture of Wonder Woman holding Supergirl. The poor thing is gaunt and her stomach looks concave and absurdly long.  How exactly is this even mildly healthy?  And of course, up goes the thong again.   Additionally, with respect to your elastagirl comment, look how long Kara's arms are in some of these pictures--I swear, they must hang down past her knees!
 
I have a lot of respect for Turner, so I don't want to come across as obnoxiously cynical, especially considering that he and his great artistry have passed on from this world; his art doesn't lack beauty--it lacks variety.  I've read the Supergirl comic that's been just recently made into an animation and I thought it was great, so no harm done, but I definitely wouldn't have minded if the characters maintained a little more physical identity.

While I do agree Turner's version of Supergirl is the best so far I think Churchill's rendition was appropriate for how the character had been depicted thus far. When Churchill took over as the artist it was not that long since the relaunch of the character so keeping the look of the character similar was 
appropriate. The worst thing I think would be for a different artist to come in and completely change the look of the character just to be different.

I prefer her to look a little thin and undeveloped compared to the overly voluptuous look teenage characters are often given in comic books. She's like 17, she shouldn't have the same body as Wonder Woman or Power Girl.
