Reportedly, James Gunn and the director of the film, Craig Gillespie, had creative differences over the direction of the movie, and the film never found its footing in the post-production process. The test scores, which are counted on a scale out of 100 points, never escaped the 60s, according to multiple insiders. One insider said, "They were not creatively aligned is the polite way of describing things."

In addition, other insiders stated that in the dispute of this characterisation, saying Gunn, Safran and Gillespie had the normal amount of healthy friction any filmmaker and studio have as part of the process of making a movie better. Multiple sources say the duo respect the filmmaking chops of Gillespie, known for guiding Margot Robbie to an Oscar nomination for I, Tonya.
Supergirl review
As per WION's Snigdha Sweta Behera, "Supergirl is a film of genuine performances trapped inside a half-baked plot. Milly Alcock makes Kara Zor-El entirely her own, and that alone is worth something. Jason Momoa shines as Lobo, even if his presence raises more questions than it answers. The antagonist, however, remains invisible in every way that matters. The film does not quite measure up to the standard set by the previously released Superman movie. Overall, Supergirl is a one-time watch, best enjoyed from the comfort of your home rather than the cinema halls."
