re: Supergirl vs Superman

Well, she is stronger than him in the comics. So they aren't straying too far from the comics by having her beat him in a slug out.

No she's not. She's roughly on par with Wonder Woman, who actually routinely wipes the floor with Supergirl. This was one author pushing an agenda, which has later been retconned explicitly with both Superman and Batman stating that she only beats him because he holds back and she doesn't.

Additionally, all you have to do in order to see the truth in the above statement is by looking at the top end feats of each character. The difference between the highest feats of each character is enormous. Superman has numerous feats of obliterating planets, physically defeating beings Supergirl always loses to, etc.

Regardless of what one specific author says, in DC canon Superman > Wonder Woman > Supergirl.
