Yeah. Far more extreme. Supergirl (both Linda and Kara) are very different in the comic books as I am sure I have told you before and Supergirl has flown people up into the sky and dropped them and caught them right before they fell and used her heat vision to burn them until they have told her what she needed to know. She has also ripped people's heads off with her two hands and kissed decapitated heads in front of other people while they freaked out to see what happened to them. 
Gosh and people wonder why the CW or CBS didn't go with that version of the character for a show aimed at teens and young girls.
Although blimey do I want to see a DC animated movie of THAT Supergirl because it sounds brilliant.
The 'Supergirl/ Linda Danvers' comic books are pretty graphically violent but a lot of comic books I have read over the years and 'Razor' which the lead actress for the movie has just been revealed for had lots of violence, blood, guts, gore and explicit sex scenes and nudity in it and in the 90s and 00s a lot of writers went all out with everything they couldn't do before 'cause of the Comic Code Authority blocked them and it was brilliant. Horror series thrived and when the Comic Code Authority was introduced back in 1954 it was the Horror comic books that suffered the most 'cause they had to cut down on all the blood and gore which they shouldn't have had to 'cause they were writing comic books for adults. I am not sure why the Comic Code Authority had such a problem with that for so many decades 'cause they only really needed to establish that the comic books weren't for children which they do now with warning stickers. What I do know is a lot of comic book writers hated it and were happy they weren't controlled anymore.
I think making a 'Supergirl' show aimed at a young audience was a mistake 'cause most of the 'Supergirl' comic books aren't for that audience and haven't been for a long time. They should have gone for an M rating at least or the same rating 'Supernatural' has 'cause that show gets away with a lot of things like that.
