Title: Re: Dini & Supergirl's Purse Post by: dto on April 27, 2006, 11:14:02 AM Interesting that Dini reveals he originally wanted Supergirl in shorts similar to Wonder Woman, but compromised on a tight-fitting mini since Bruce Timm insisted on a more traditional skirt.
And you can read more of Dini's thoughts concerning Kara In-Ze and "Her Last Bow" at http://kingofbreakfast.livejournal.com/23886.html Dini almost sounds like a proud parent half-regretfully watching his "all-grown-up" daughter leaving the nest and facing the future on her own And in a very real sense, he is. You did a good job "raising her up right", Mr. Dini. Take a bow yourself.

Some of Timm's initial more-traditional designs were pretty awesome: http://jl.toonzone.net/supergirl/005.jpg http://jl.toonzone.net/supergirl/006.jpg We ought to thank thank Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, too.

Remote linking to Toon Zone files is not allowed. Go to http://jl.toonzone.net/supergirl/supergirl.htm and check the list of images near the bottom of the page. The unused Supergirl designs are titled: Supergirl Image #1 (Unused STAS Design) Supergirl Image #3 Supergirl Image #4 Supergirl Image #5 Kara looks older, perhaps in her early 20s -- and the rough sketches are GORGEOUS. Definitely the "look' of #4-5 is at least partially inspired by 50's pinup models (body curves and hair), and the costume is an interesting composite. She's wearing the "classic" blue top, with red hotpants with beltloops (or a traditional pleated skirt in two images), plus "pixie shoes" that emphasize her long legs. (Historically, Kara Zor-El did wear ballet slippers with her 70s "blouse and hotpants" outfit, but she soon reverted back to the boots.) In contrast, mage #3 is virtually the same as the Matrix/Linda Supergirl. Eye-pleasing, but somewhat "vanilla". She certainly looks attractive in the #4-5 costume, but perhaps the white t-shirt Kara In-Ze was the better choice. We might not have gotten such an endearingly spunky "modern teen" personality if the animated team began with a character design that looked "too traditional". Though I could definitely see an older Legionaire Kara In-Ze eventually ditching the exposed midriff for something like this. (Brainy is SUCH a lucky guy!) :wink: Title: Re: Dini & Supergirl's Purse Post by: TELLE on June 12, 2006, 10:55:05 PM I like some of those cheesecake shots and the early sketch of hotpants/bikini and the awesome Kara/Batgirl roomates cartoon.
I agree the final design was best --very contemporary and youthful. Title: Re: Dini & Supergirl's Purse Post by: Uncle Mxy on June 14, 2006, 05:25:24 PM Sorry about that.
