              The article contains several logical fallacies. Firstly, the author uses an appeal to authority by stating that James Gunn and Peter Safran are producing the film without providing any evidence of their expertise or qualifications in this area. Secondly, there is a dichotomy between Superman's upbringing on Earth with loving parents and Supergirl's upbringing on Krypton where she witnessed everyone around her die and be killed in terrible ways for the first 14 years of her life. This creates an unfair comparison between the two characters, as their experiences are vastly different. Lastly, there is a use of inflammatory rhetoric when describing Supergirl's mission to seek revenge against those responsible for destroying her world.
