Supergirl can't be a shared universe film, it's still a Superman family film. Supergirl wasn't part of the Superman franchise. We know that for a certainty because Superman III was released in 1983, Supergirl was released in 1984, and then Superman IV: The Quest for Peace was released in 1987. If Supergirl was part of the Superman franchise, then The Quest for Peace should've been titled Superman V. But The Quest for Peace was titled Superman IV so Supergirl wasn't a part of the Superman franchise. And since Supergirl shared a character (played by the same actor) as Superman: The Movie, that makes it officially the 1st shared cinematic universe in CBM history. Lol. That's like saying Thor isn't part of the same franchise as Ironman because Thor wasn't called Ironman 4.

Thor and Iron are separate franchises as well as part of a shared universe. Same with the Superman and Supergirl movies. They were separate franchises as well as part of a shared universe since they shared a character (played by the same actor).

The first sentence is
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an American media franchise and shared universe that is centered on a series of superhero films, independently produced by Marvel Studios and based on characters that appear in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

A shared universe is a franchise of 2 or more franchises i.e. a shared universe is a franchise and the components that make up the shared universe are also separate franchises. For example, Friday the 13th is a franchise and Nightmare on Elm Street is a separate franchise. And Freddy vs Jason is a shared universe made up of the 2 separate franchises: Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. Basically, a shared universe is a "super-franchise" made up of 2 or more franchises. Supergirl wasn't part of the Superman franchise so Supergirl was its own franchise. So the Superman and Supergirl movies were 2 separate franchises that shared a common character (played by the same actor), which makes it officially the 1st shared cinematic universe in CBM history.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is an American media franchise and shared universe Do you not understand the explanation above? No one ever said a shared universe isn't a franchise. I think I made it pretty clear above that a shared universe is a "super-franchise" made up of 2 ore more separate franchises. For example, Friday the 13th is a franchise and Nightmare on Elm Street is a separate franchise. And Freddy vs Jason is a shared universe made up of the 2 separate franchises: Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street. What part of that do you not understand?Like I said in my previous post, Supergirl wasn't part of the Superman franchise so Supergirl was its own franchise. So the Superman and Supergirl movies were 2 separate franchises that shared a common character (played by the same actor), which makes it officially the 1st shared cinematic universe in CBM history.

I think I made it pretty clear above that a shared universe is a "super-franchise" made up of 2 ore more separate franchises A "super-franchise" !!! Did you just make that one up? Please show me the references online to s film series as a "Super Franchise" . Must be quite a few if it is an established term A one film franchise! Please show where the definition of "franchise" in respect to film defines it as anything less than multiple films. That character being Jimmy Olsen. The Jimmy Olsen Universe! Show me where that is mentioned online enough times to establish it as such I say SHOW ME. Not repeat what you have said before as if it is fact. A cursory look online isn't providing much in the way of results. You must be getting this from somewhere. Or are you just making it up? No it isn't...Wiki definition " It is a requirement that two or more previously unconnected characters come together into one film.". Nope not Superman & Supergirl It does describe Superman/Supergirl as "common origin" stories. If that is the case under that definition it wasn't even the first CBM films to do it. Tales Of The Crypt (1972) & Vault Of Horror (1973) are based on stories from Tales Of The Crypt, The Vault of Horror, Shock Suspense Sories and Haunt Of Fear comics
