You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
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.
Depends on how long-standing you mean.
Post-Crisis. 20 years is long-standing.

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.

DC seems to be turning its back on some long-standing tenets, such as Kal-El being the sole survivor of Krypton,
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?

Too soon to tell, as Power Girl's origin is still in the shop.
Personally, I'm a bit peeved that she was apparently thought to be Superman's cousin for years, but now that this Brittneyfied version of Supergirl has popped up (with more than hints of being brainwashed by Darkseid, no less!) Superman is all overprotective "this is the only family I have" about someone whose highly questionable genetic relation to him was revealed like 20 minutes ago. I'd think that he of all people would put more weight on nurture over nature regarding the families we build around ourselves.
