Writers come and go. The poor writing is ending now that a good writer is taking over. What matters long term is the basic design of the character.

Because realistic characterization is what helps us suspend our disbelief in the face of unrealistic powers.

Now I certainly would have accepted a return to the Silver Age Supergirl exactly as she used to exist, but DC didn't give us that. Yet what they gave us is better than anything else they've given us for the last twenty years so I focus on the positive.
