Supergirl Official Runtime Makes It One of the Shortest DC Movies Ever (Is That Good?)

Despite a lot happening in the new Supergirl movie, it’s surprisingly brief for a superhero film. Initial estimates from theaters put the runtime around 1 hour and 50 minutes, but the Irish Film Classification Office has confirmed it’s actually 1 hour and 47 minutes and 55 seconds. This makes it one of the shortest DC movies in recent years – the last one to run under two hours was 2020’s Birds of Prey at 1 hour and 49 minutes. Looking back further, only a few DC theatrical releases have been shorter, like the original Supergirl from 1984 (1 hour and 45 minutes), Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1 hour and 30 minutes), and Catwoman (1 hour and 44 minutes). It’s perhaps not the most impressive list of comparable films.
