Producer [[Ilya Salkind]] originally wrote a treatment for the [[Superman III|third installment]] from the [[Superman in film|''Superman'' film series]] starring [[Christopher Reeve]] that expanded the film's scope to a cosmic scale, introducing the villains [[Brainiac (character)|Brainiac]] and [[Mister Mxyzptlk]], as well as Supergirl.<ref name="believe">{{cite web | title = You Will Believe: The Cinematic Saga of Superman | url=http://www.dvdtalk.com/reviews/25423/superman-ultimate-collectors-edition/ | work = DVD Talk | year = 2006}}</ref> The original outline featured a father–daughter relationship between Brainiac and Supergirl and a romance between Superman and Supergirl, even though the two are cousins in the comics.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.supermancinema.co.uk/superman3/general/script/s3_original_idea.pdf |archive-url=https://wayback.archive-it.org/all/20090225144808/http://www.supermancinema.co.uk/superman3/general/script/s3_original_idea.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-date=2009-02-25 |title=Story Outline of Superman III |website=Supermancinema.co.uk |access-date=2008-12-15 }}</ref> Warner Bros. rejected the outline.

*The first live-action depiction of Supergirl was in the [[Supergirl (1984 film)|eponymous 1984 film]], starring [[Helen Slater]] as [[Supergirl (Kara Zor-El)|Kara Zor-El / Linda Lee / Supergirl]]. The film is a spinoff from the Salkind ''Superman'' film series, to which it is connected by [[Marc McClure]]'s character, [[Jimmy Olsen]].<ref>{{cite web|author=Pantozzi, Jill|title=Helen Slater is Still "Super"|website=[[Comic Book Resources]]|date=December 7, 2009|url=http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=23956|access-date=October 12, 2010}}</ref> Its plot, which connects more traditionally to the comics than Salkind's outline, concerns Supergirl, Superman's cousin, leaving her isolated Kryptonian community of Argo City for Earth in an effort to retrieve the unique "Omegahedron", which has fallen into the hands of the evil witch Selena ([[Faye Dunaway]]). The film was poorly received and did poorly at the box office and no reference to the character was made in the subsequent ''[[Superman IV: The Quest for Peace]]''.
* In August 2018, a film centered around Kara Zor-El / Supergirl, was announced to be in development with [[Oren Uziel]] penning the script.<ref>{{cite web|last=Fleming|first=Mike Jr.|url=https://deadline.com/2018/08/supergirl-movie-warner-bros-dc-comics-universe-oren-uziel-script-superman-1202440687|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180806212327/https://deadline.com/2018/08/supergirl-movie-warner-bros-dc-comics-universe-oren-uziel-script-superman-1202440687/|url-status=dead|archive-date=August 6, 2018|title= ''Supergirl'' Movie On Drawing Board For Warner Bros/DC; Oren Uziel Scripting|date=August 6, 2018|work=Deadline|access-date=August 6, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Galuppo|first1=Mia|last2=McMillan|first2=Graeme|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/supergirl-movie-oren-uziel-write-script-warner-bros-1132421|title=''Supergirl'' Movie in the Works with ''22 Jump Street'' Writer|date=August 6, 2018|work=The Hollywood Reporter|access-date=August 6, 2018}}</ref> The studio intends to hire a female director, with [[Reed Morano]]—who has expressed interest in the project—being its top choice.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://deadline.com/2018/08/female-director-scorecard-warner-bros-superhero-wonder-woman-1202441259/|title=Female Director Scorecard: Warner Bros Lining Up Its Superheroes|first=Anita|last=Busch|date=August 13, 2018|website=[[Deadline Hollywood]]|access-date=November 24, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/peter-dinklage-elle-fanning-think-reed-morano-should-direct-wbs-supergirl-1143275|title=Peter Dinklage, Elle Fanning Think Reed Morano Should Direct WB's 'Supergirl'|magazine=The Hollywood Reporter|access-date=October 4, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180925104354/https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/peter-dinklage-elle-fanning-think-reed-morano-should-direct-wbs-supergirl-1143275|archive-date=September 25, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref> Filming was expected to start production in early 2020.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2019/05/31/robert-pattinson-to-star-in-matt-reeves-the-batman/#570734291555|title=Robert Pattinson To Star In Matt Reeves' 'The Batman'|first=Mark|last=Hughes|date=May 31, 2019|website=Forbes|access-date=May 31, 2019}}</ref>
