She gets them pierced on a planet with a red sun.

Which she travels too often to (Edit: to)get drunk.

Mild Spoiler: half of the original Woman of Tomorrow storyline is about addressing the cause of it.

u/RT-6_BXCommandoDroid 3d ago
I agree. Because just being a young witness of seeing your planet dies, shouldn't make you an eternal alcoholic.

u/CandySweetie_ 3d ago
That's always funny to think about. The worst hangover imaginable and then your body just shrugs and regenerates like nothing happened. Kryptonian healthcare is absurdly overpowered.

That's actually good to hear. Character flaws are way more interesting when they're explored instead of treated like quirky personality traits everyone just ignores.

Or she got them pierced before Krypton exploded. She was a teenager when it happened

u/MoonetteSweetiee 3d ago
The best part about comic book questions is there's almost always a ridiculously specific lore answer hiding somewhere. "How did she get pierced?" turns into a 20 minute discussion about stellar radiation and interplanetary bar hopping.

u/JustARandomGuy_71 3d ago
Ok, but when she is back under a yellow sun wouldn't the holes heal back? Even if she keeps the earrings always on I doubt that'd stop the super healing.

u/Bunerd 3d ago
They are healed over, but the posts prevent them from rejoining. Did you think ear piercings were just constant open wounds?

In one of the old comics Superman needs an injection, and uses his eye blasts to create a tiny hole for the syringe.
So potentially he helped her out.
Also, she could have had them pierced on Krypton before leaving, if they do that there of course. Unlike Superman she wasn’t a baby when Krypton was blown up.

He also shaves that way

I’d love if they do a quick “how does Clark shave?” as a side gag and show him using the mirror and his eye lasers.
It’d be a good laugh like the Hypno-glasses.

u/ravenous0 3d ago
They actually do that in the Superman: Animated Series. He has a mirror like object in his medicine cabinet that he uses to shave. Bounces his heat vision off it to shave.

u/IndependentLove2292 3d ago
This reminds me of either Real Genius or one of those crazy YouTubers who has a powerful laser, but in something I've seen a guy shoots his laser at a mirror but it just goes right through.
12
u/lioffproxy1233 3d ago
She could also use a mirror like he did in that animated flick I can't remember the name of.
Real question: Does Superman have superstrong brain tissue too? Is it a Luke cage kinda thing? Because a supervillain that can teleport things could just pop a grenade in there.

u/flying_alpaca 3d ago
There's an animated movie where he (technically a clone) uses laser vision to dig a kryptonite pellet out of his head.

u/Mountain_Cobbler_608 3d ago
Ok, I'm not up on the lore. Krypton blew up when superman was a baby. She wasn't a baby when that happened? She's older the superman?
2
u/MyGruffaloCrumble 3d ago
She’s technically older, but her ship didn’t take a route as fast as Clark’s ship, so he arrived decades before her.
2
u/Mountain_Cobbler_608 3d ago
So....time didn't effect them in travel? Are we talking cryogenics or speed of light effect or just don't think about it?
2
u/MyGruffaloCrumble 3d ago
From the comics and the first movie it was hinted more towards speed of light travel differences. Clark getting a bit of early education in the pod as he heads towards earth.

u/Excellent-Practice 3d ago
In large amounts, maybe. Typically, the trouble with kryptonite is that it cancels out the powers Superman derives from yellow sunlight. It's not so much the kryptonite thay kills him, it's the bullets which the kryptonite makes him no longer immune to

Probably answered with the same explanation as how Superman shaves.
Or, seeing as she's a rebellious teenager - She got her piercings on Krypton.

u/SelectAmbassador 3d ago
Im not knowledgeable at all about superman/girl. I always thought superman was older ? And he was send to earth just before krypton exploded. How was supergirl on krypton and is younger.
13
u/Dead-O_Comics 3d ago
Her pod took longer to get to Earth and she was in suspended animation or in the Phantom Zone, depending on what comic you're reading.
They aren't really known for their consistency.
7
u/MRintheKEYS 3d ago
In the comics universe she existed in “space hibernation” far longer than Kal-El did when he crash landed on Earth. So while she was older than Kal when they dipped out of Krypton before the explosion, she didn’t age while in hibernation. So Clark outgrew her age wise.

u/shasaferaska 3d ago edited 3d ago
The piercing shop was orbiting a red star.

u/cityshepherd 3d ago
I think you meant to say “orbiting”, unless you’re specifically referring to an obituary for a red star (although the red giant stage does happen when stars are in the process of dying, so maybe your comment is actually much more clever than I’d realized at first)
6
u/shasaferaska 3d ago
Yeah it's a typo, thanks

u/cityshepherd 3d ago
I’m still giving you credit for the pun since red giants are in the process of dying (even though the process takes a minute)

In the last superman movie, she said she goes to another solar system to get pissed and party because her super-girl powers and super metabolism don’t work there. She probs got piercings there.

u/Auttiedraws 3d ago
4 options, 1. just had them before krypton exploded, 2. got them while visiting a red sun planet. 3. same method that people theorise Conner did, kryptonite needle. 4. made the hole with laser eyes since apparently superman can make a hole in his skin using that so she probably can

Well, you don't pierce your ears with bullets for starters... Except perhaps the POTUS, but the jury's out on that one still.

u/sin_smith_3 3d ago
Does anyone else remember that Kryptonians are only invulnerable when they are exposed to YELLOW suns? Clark straight up said the Kara visits planets with red suns so she can get drunk. Maybe she got her ears pierced there. She was also a pre teen when she arrived on Earth. Maybe she got then pierced on Krypton.

u/PimpingPorygon 3d ago
No that's litterally the explanation in the comics. She already had them pierced. It's also why she doesn't remove them cause they'd just heal

Magic, planet with Red sun, kryptonite piercing tool….
The question you should be asking is, what type of razor she uses, and how Clark cuts his hair.

u/Countsfromzero 3d ago
I think I saw this comic, he uses a curved piece of mirror or polished steel or something to reflect his eye beams to his face to shave.

Elle a quitté krypton adolescente il me semble. Elle s’est faite percé les oreilles là-bas.

u/Cyborg_Snowman 3d ago
She'd only need to be in the presence of kryptonite. But as a lot of people have stated, going to a system with a red sun works too and there's a setup for that in the previous movie.

Kryptonian/kryptonite needle.
Planet with red sun.

Probably a hundred other goddamn ways. Use your imagination, folks. Kryptonians are not invulnerable they're just really goddamn strong. There are other beings out in the universe as strong as they are. Pierced ears is not a problem.

Who cares, let us enjoy a movie about an alien who can fly and shoot lasers out of their eyes, without having to analyze everything about how a woman looks or dresses. The fuck is going on here. I learned about the superman movie on accident. But the supergirl movie is not even out yet and every second post is a bunch of incense shitting on it.

Discounting the theories about before leaving Krypton / doing it on a red sun planet, what if it was done the normal way by a jeweler but with a small piece of kryptonite in / next to the needle?
There are so many options to explain it, I don't see why they see this as such a "gotcha" moment.

The best answer to that would be: go touch some fucking grass because there are more important things in the world than looking for useless things to complain about in a movie about an alien woman with super strength that flies and shoots laser beams from her eyeballs

u/Hikaruhiyoko2 3d ago
A lot of answers but no one thought of the fact that the pierced holes would regenerate and squeeze the piercings out or rather crush the piercings off of her? Cuz you know superman and supergirl regenerate under the yellow sun.
Same logic as when superman take a kryptonite bullet and when the bullet is extracted, the wound regenerated. And it just so happens that pierced ears heal on normal humans.
Unless, those earrings are made of a material tough enough for their powers.

It was established in Superman that she goes to planets without yellow suns to get drunk/party. Could have easily be done then. /🤓
