‘Supergirl’ Ending Explained: What Happens To Krem?

Supergirl is finally here after three long years of development. And following that explosive third act, many audiences may be wondering what actually happened, so we have a handy guide to follow along as to what went down at in the Supergirl ending.

Supergirl follows the titular character (Milly Alcock) as she sets out on a quest to save her trusty pal Krypto after he is shot by the villainous Krem of the Yellow Hills (Matthias Schoenaerts). Along the way she teams up with Ruthye (Eve Ridley), a young girl whos family were murdered by Krem, and the badass bounty hunter Lobo (Jason Momoa). Read the official synopsis below:

“Supergirl,” DC Studios’ newest feature film to hit the big screen, will be in theaters worldwide this summer from Warner Bros. Pictures, starring Milly Alcock in the dual role of Supergirl/Kara Zor-El. Craig Gillespie directs the film from a screenplay by Ana Nogueira.

When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.

What Happens At The Ending Of ‘Supergirl’?

After the defeat of the Brigands, Krem of the Yellow Hills is at swordpoint by Ruthye, where she must make a decision: kill Krem in an act of revenge, losing her innocence, or show herself to be of higher moral values and spare his life. Supergirl convinces Ruthye not to kill him, and takes Ruthye’s sword and kills him herself, dedicating his death to justice for Ruthye and her family, as well as Krypto the Super Dog. She stabs him, killing him, and Kara snatches the cure.

She travels back to Ruthye’s planet from the beginning of the movie and gives the antidote to the healer, who injects Krypto with it immediately reinvigorating him, reuniting the powered pooch and the Woman of Tomorrow. The next scene sees the dog frolicking in the grass whilst Supergirl beckons him to join her on his ship. Ruthye announces her intent to start forging swords whilst living with her aunt and uncle, and Supergirl says her Birthday pub crawl is over, but just as the two are about to part ways, Supergirl invites Ruthye to celebrate the rest of her birthday week with her.

Supergirl arrives on Earth, and in Clark Kent’s apartment, reveals to Superman (David Corenswet) that she is going to stick around for a while this visit. Krypto ravages Clark’s kitchen, and recognising that he may have gotten into the chocolate, Clark races to stop the dog.

Does ‘Supergirl’ Have Any Post-Credit Scenes?

Despite previous reports, Supergirl does not have any post- or mid-credit scenes. This makes it the first-ever DC Studios-produced DC Universe project without a post-credit scene of some sort.
