Supergirl movie sparks controversy over alleged use of generative AI.

Supergirl, the upcoming DC Studios movie, has been embroiled in controversy after a behind-the-scenes featurette surfaced online, sparking allegations that the filmmakers used generative AI during pre-production.

Allegations of AI-Generated Images

The video, which was removed from YouTube following widespread criticism, appears to show director Craig Gillespie looking at images of Lobo's design on a screen. However, many viewers have pointed out that the images seem to be computer-generated, with a distinctive blurry look that is characteristic of AI-generated.

These allegations have been shared widely across social media platforms, with fans and critics alike expressing their concerns over the use of generative AI in movie production.

Warner Bros. has not commented on whether the images were indeed generated using AI or why the video was removed from YouTube. However, the controversy highlights the growing debate over the role of technology in creative industries.

Supergirl is set to be released next year and will star Kara Zor-El, who will reprise her role from the TV series. The movie's production has been marred by mixed reviews and underperformance at the box office, with some critics suggesting that the film's dark tone may have alienated certain audiences.

Despite this, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of Supergirl, as well as other upcoming DC movies and shows. For more information on the latest developments in the DC Universe, check out our guide to all the upcoming DC movies and how to watch the DC movies in order.
