"A young alien girl, Ruthye Marye Knoll, tracks down Superman's tormented partygirl cousin to bring the brute that murdered her family to justice, Krem of the Yellow Hills. This fight is personal for Kara, too, as we see Krem poison none other than Krypto the Superdog, the misbehaving mutt Kal-El was dog-sitting in Superman."
"Krypto will be the emotional heart of Supergirl. Kara says multiple times that home is wherever he is, so with only three days to find an antidote before he perishes, she'll stop at nothing to keep what little family she has alive, even if she has her own complicated feelings about the concept of revenge."
Supergirl's movie introduces a personal revenge narrative as Kara seeks justice for her cousin's dog, Krypto, who is poisoned by Krem. The story closely follows Tom King's comic, Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, where a young alien girl, Ruthye, seeks Kara's help to confront Krem. Krypto's origin story is also explored, emphasizing his bond with Kara. The emotional stakes are high as Kara races against time to save Krypto, highlighting her complex feelings about family and revenge.
