8* There has been a bit of tension between ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} and ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} before and after the Crisis On Infinite Earths:
9** In ''ComicBook/SupermanFamily'' #171 Barbara saves Kara -who has temporarily lost her powers- from drowning. First thing she attempts? [[http://66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8vcc7vFJa1qbujox.jpg Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation]].
10** During their third team-up in "ComicBook/TheAttackOfTheAnnihilator", Barbara falls off a building... and Supergirl shows up out of nowhere and catches her. [[http://67.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l8vbraq4Bs1qbujox.jpg She just happened to be in the neighborhood]], and apparently she needed to carry her in her arms bridal style for some reason.
11** In ''ComicBook/BatgirlAdventures'', Harley Quinn thinks [[http://i.imgur.com/8mAGyjT.jpg Supergirl and Barbara Gordon are much too obvious]]:
12---> '''Harley''': Oh, Ivy can't hurt me. She gave me a special shot once so we can play and I won't get sick at all.\
13'''Batgirl''': You mean you two...?\
14'''Harley''': What?\
15'''Batgirl''': You and Ivy are... well... *crosses her index and middle fingers in that "I'm implying you're in a relationship" gesture* friends...\
16'''Harley''': Yeah...?\
17'''Batgirl''': Y'know... friends... like...\
18'''Harley''': Like what everybody says about you and Supergirl?\
19'''Batgirl''': What?! Who says...? Forget it! Forget it!
20** Apparently, ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} watches ''those'' types of college movies. You know, the ones with pillow fight and [[SlumberParty Slumber Parties]], and she is just dying to reenact them with Stephanie.
21** Later, [[ItMakesSenseInContext after Dracula appears]], Supergirl [[DressedInLayers rips off her top to reveal her costume beneath it]].
22---> '''Supergirl:''' "Aren't you gonna...you know..."\
23'''Batgirl:''' "Not unless you wanna see my bra."\
24'''Supergirl:''' "Does it have a bat on it?"
25* In ''ComicBook/Supergirl2005'' issue #19, Kara meets ComicBook/WonderGirl (Cassie Sandsmark)... and [[https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/46/83/b6/4683b65521d087a6c0f11bc3ca5a25c4.jpg glomps]] and [[http://s56.photobucket.com/user/altwwes-k/media/TT/scans/kc2.jpg.html hugs her]] during their meeting.
26* An amusing situation has been pointed out regarding Cir-El's short tenure as Supergirl, specifically in the Actions Comics and Superman comics she appeared. She, Traci 13 and Natasha Irons had a team up arc in ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' #806-808 to help save Superman. The end of the story resulted them all laying together on the same bed. That in of itself is more amusing than anything but just a short while later in ''Superman'' #200 (2004) which was the same issue Cir-El was erased in, there was a pinup of the 3 girls which was a take on that scene and the 3 were in a much more romantic setup in it.
27** In an even funnier case Mike Deodato Jr. showed unused designs for the pinup and those were even MORE romantic with the girls caressing one another: [[https://twitter.com/mikedeodato/status/768498723148140545 link]].
28** Especially amusing given many years later in Rebirth, the Superwoman series established Natasha Irons and Traci 13 as being in a relationship...
29* When Supergirl's existence is finally revealed publicly in ''ComicBook/TheUnknownSupergirl'', she is introduced to the President and First Lady. As John Kennedy tells her he knows she'll continue to use her powers for truth and justice, etc.[[note]]for some reason, reprints have him saying "You're as resourceful as you are lovely, Supergirl! Thanks a million!"[[/note]], she says "Thank you, Mr. President!" but her thought bubble reads "The President's wife looks -- Gorgeous!". Now, is that an erotic response or, like so many girls her age, admiring a woman (twice her age) well known for her poise, charm and style whom many teenage girls looked up to as a role model?
