Supergirl Repeats Superman’s Worst Mistake (And It’s So Much More Tragic)

A debated decision in the series was bringing back Supergirl’s original Silver Age backstory, which also explained Superman’s strange behavior towards her. Instead of raising Kara himself, Superman sent her to an orphanage to keep their identities secret. This has been a recurring theme on Supergirl, with the show often criticizing Superman for the pain this caused Kara. Now, the story is evolving, as Kara is repeating the same mistake by abandoning someone who needs her help.
