Sex and nudity in Supergirl
Briefly implied/off-screen. Dialogue and plot elements suggest sexual abuse and forced breeding of kidnapped women, but there is no explicit on-screen sexual activity or nudity (IMDb Parents Guide notes implied sexual violence).
Violence and gore in Supergirl
Strong and frequent action violence across multiple planets — fistfights, stabbings, explosions, vehicle/ship crashes, and several onscreen deaths. Some brutal moments (a character is stabbed and another's neck is slashed from a distance) and a decapitation is implied/off-screen during a Lobo sequence; gore is usually limited or shown indirectly rather than graphically.
Language in Supergirl
Mild, occasional coarse language. A few uses of words like "shit," "bastard," and insults such as "bitch" and "ass" occur in tense exchanges (IMDb notes mild profanity).
Drugs, alcohol, and smoking in Supergirl
Moderate and contextual. Characters are shown drinking in celebratory/party settings and there are brief depictions of tobacco use; substance use is not a central plot driver but appears in several scenes.
Mature themes in Supergirl
Strong, sometimes heavy themes drive the story: kidnapping and trafficking of women, revenge, bereavement from Krypton's destruction, and moral consequences of vengeance. The movie treats loss and survivor trauma (Kara's backstory and funerals) seriously and includes talk of murder and forced captivity, which may upset younger viewers.
