Depends on how long-standing you mean. In the old days there were Supergirl, and Dev-Em, and the whole bottle city of Kandor.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Not to mention a veritable ark of silly-ass super-animals.

Only two were actually from Krypton, though.

I think after the first one, it's hard to care where they come from.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Post-Crisis. 20 years is long-standing.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
As it is, I have a hard time imagining a Christine Spar Grendel movie without a Hunter Rose Grendel movie to set it up.
I'd have done it as some sort of prologue - either news report montage, or a mini-movie of some kind. Wouldn't do it total justice, but I just loved the Christine Spar story so much that's the movie I wanted.

That could have worked. There's only just enough Hunter Rose (from the Devil by the Deed story, anyway) to make a tight, short movie. Shorten it even more to a prologue, and it does work to set it up.
Though even if it was done as two movies, I think Tojiro is going to seem like he came out of nowhere. Argent's going to be weird enough for people as it is.

I still have money riding on "Kara Zor-El" turning out not to be Superman's cousin, but rather his daughter by Amazing Grace.

So then, how does that affect (or, I should say, *does* it?) the whole issue of Kara and Power Girl being unmixy things?
