The publisher supplies clear production clues
DC’s movie page identifies Alcock as Kara/Supergirl and Craig Gillespie directing the 2026 feature. Its television page separately identifies the 2015–2021 series and Benoist. Those production fields are enough to distinguish the two screen works without relying on costume colour or a short synopsis about Superman’s cousin.
Keep film 2026 or TV 2015–2021 and the credited lead in a request. If a guide shows only Supergirl, inspect the actual item type and episode fields. A feature should not be labelled as the television series’ next season merely because it reuses the character.
Woman of Tomorrow is a source work, not an extra episode
DC’s production interview identifies the film’s connection to Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely. Its earlier announcement describes that comic as an eight-issue limited series. That establishes a particular source relationship, not a promise that the feature reproduces every issue or that its running time can be divided into eight corresponding chapters.
For a reading reference, retain the comic title, creators and issue or collected edition. For a film scene, retain the feature edition and timestamp. The television programme’s own seasons remain a different reference system. Do not substitute one of those location methods for another without checking the actual work.
Shared publishing ownership does not settle continuity
DC’s own pages cover multiple interpretations of its characters. The fact that two works share that publisher does not, on its own, establish that one continues the other’s story. Use explicit production information when continuity matters instead of inferring it from a logo or actor association.
The collection poster identifies the Alcock feature, not Benoist’s television production or a comic issue cover. This article makes no scene-by-scene comparison and does not review the performances. It also does not turn a theatrical date into Canadian streaming availability. Compare the supplied work’s medium, cast and exact title with the intended reference before treating a familiar character as enough evidence.
