History WesternAnimation / SupermanBatmanApocalypse

* OnlySixFaces: The main characters are all visually distinct from one another, but they blur together with supporting characters to an extent that almost seems deliberate. The writers seem to realize this, since when [[spoiler: Lyla]] dies her name is actually spoken aloud so that it is clear whose body is being held. Apparently this is actually the case ''in the movie'', as Harbinger is not able to recognize ''herself'' in a prohetic vision, mistaking her own body for Supergirl's. The weird thing is, while it may be said that her face was never visible in the vision, Kara's hair is clearly a lighter shade of blonde, exactly like the figure in the vision.

The direct-to-video adaptation is based on ''ComicBook/{{The Supergirl from Krypton|2004}}'' story arc in ''ComicBook/SupermanBatman''. Creator/KevinConroy and Creator/TimDaly reprise their respective roles from the first feature as Batman and Superman, and Creator/SusanEisenberg returns as ComicBook/WonderWoman, whilst Creator/AndreBraugher voices Darkseid and Creator/SummerGlau voices Supergirl.

!!Tropes:

* AdaptedOut: Bernadeth, another member of the Female Furies who was in the comics, isn't in the movie version. Then again, in the comics, she spent the entirety of the Furies' fight with Wonder Woman and Big Barda on the sidelines with Granny. The comic version of the scene at the end when Superman introduced Kara as Supergirl also had the ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica, the ComicBook/JusticeSocietyOfAmerica, the ComicBook/TeenTitans, and [[ComicBook/BatmanAndTheOutsiders the Outsiders]] in attendance.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Darkseid, neither Superman or Kara is able to handle him alone.

* WhipItGood: As usual, Lashina.

* ArtisticLicenseEconomics: Early in the movie, Supergirl panics and destroys what Batman said was "$50,000 worth of custom hardware." Realistically, such hardware would likely cost ''well'' above $50,000. Custom hardware, particularly ASICs, can often cost millions of dollars. [[note]]But then again, this is Batman we're talking about, and this could be explained by that he came up with a low-cost way of manufacturing them.[[/note]]

* GroinAttack: Wonder Woman to Granny Goodness.

The sequel to ''WesternAnimation/SupermanBatmanPublicEnemies'' and the first sequel in the ''WesternAnimation/DCUniverseAnimatedOriginalMovies'' line., based on ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton2004''.

The film begins with a huge meteor crashing into Gotham Bay, alerting the attention of Batman to the scene. The meteor turns out to have contained a spaceship belonging to a girl possessing the strength and powers of Superman. In her confusion and fear, she causes enough damage to warrant Batman using kryptonite to subdue her. Awakening in the Batcave, she destroys Batman's scanning equipment, but her attempt to flee is halted by Superman. Able to understand her language and provide her reassurance, Kal-El learns she is his cousin, [[Comicbook/{{Supergirl}} Kara Zor-El]].
