The new DC Studios film starring Milly Alcock and Jason Momoa is now available in physical format. Supergirl arrives in homes in a 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray edition from Warner Bros. Pictures and Arvi Licensing, a must-have for DC Universe collectors seeking the best home image and sound experience.
The release is particularly significant as it is the second major production of the revamped DC Comics cinematic universe, spearheaded by Peter Safran and James Gunn following the 2025 release of Superman. The home edition allows viewers to revisit the film in superior quality and discover numerous bonus features focused on its creation process.
A story based on an acclaimed comic
Supergirl is directed by Craig Gillespie, known for Dumb Money, from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira, known for the series Hightown. The film adapts the comic Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, written by Tom King and illustrated by Bilquis Evely and Matheus Lopes.
The plot follows Kara Zor-El in a race against time to save her dog Krypto, who has been poisoned by the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills. On this journey, she crosses paths with Ruthye, who is also seeking revenge against Krem, and with Lobo, played by Jason Momoa, who has his own plans.
The cast is rounded out by Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham, and David Corenswet, who reprises his role as Superman and will be seen soon in the sequel Man of Tomorrow.
Image and sound quality in the 4K edition
The 4K Ultra HD presentation of Supergirl benefits from Dolby Vision, with deep blacks and a high level of detail, especially noticeable in sequences set in deep space. Having been shot with digital cameras, the disc's compression preserves the original textures well, with a noticeable difference compared to the Blu-ray included in the pack.
Regarding sound, the edition offers a Dolby Atmos-TrueHD track in Spanish, English, and French. It also includes audio in Czech and Polish in Dolby Digital 5.1, and subtitles in various languages, including Korean and Complex Chinese.

Over 100 minutes of bonus content
The physical edition includes 104 minutes of extras that review the film's creation process. Among the documentaries, From Comic to Screen stands out, where James Gunn, Peter Safran, Ana Nogueira, and Tom King himself explain why they chose this story as the starting point to introduce Kara Zor-El into the new DC universe.
Another segment, A Girl's Best Friend, focuses on Krypto, Supergirl's dog, digitally recreated by the studio Framestore based on references from real dogs on set.
The documentary An Authentic Legacy shows the work of the studio Legacy Effects, led by Shane Mahan, in the handcrafted creation of the aliens that appear in the film, many of them using puppets and prosthetic makeup by Peter Swords King.
Jason Momoa and the construction of Lobo
The featurette The DC Dream: Lobo reviews how Jason Momoa brought the character to life, drawing inspiration from the 90s comic version, with special attention to his makeup, costume, and signature red eyes. The actor admits he had always wanted to play Lobo and that the Lobo Big Fraggin' Compendium Book One comic was his main reference.
Other extras, such as Showdown at Evely Square, show the physical training of Milly Alcock and Eve Ridley for the fight choreography, as well as the filming of the square sequence, which took several weeks of recording within a total shoot of 76 days.
A universe that expands to several planets
The documentary Space is a Bad Neighborhood, Honey explains how the film expands the DC universe beyond Earth, with five distinct planets recreated on 35 sets spread across five soundstages at Leavesden Studios in the UK, with exteriors filmed in Scotland and Iceland.
To give coherence to these worlds, linguists Jessie and David Peterson created nine different dialects, including a Kryptonian language that is much more present than in the previous Superman film.
Steelbook edition and availability
In addition to the standard 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray edition, Supergirl has a limited Steelbook version, available while supplies last. The film can also be watched via streaming on HBO Max.
