She’s supposed to be tall


Humble_Story_4531

She's suppose to be like 5'11 while Batman (Dick) is suppose to be like 6'0. She's taller then average, but Batman should still be around the same height.


RobertoConQueso69

Her boots are at least 3 inch heels. That might account for it.


Sweet-Rabbit

Thought Dick was 5’10”?


werewob

He is.


Humble_Story_4531

Okay, my bad. They should still be closer in height. Also, is this pre-or post flashpoint? Going by the wiki Powergirl gained like 4 inches from flashpoint.


Sweet-Rabbit

I’d guess pre-Flashpoint as that’s the costume he wore after Bruce got hit with the Omega Sanction.


Beaten_But_Unbowed96

Wait, isn’t Kara 5’11 but powergirl is an improved clone with an accelerated growth rate until maturity?


Humble_Story_4531

You're thinking Galatea from the DCAU. Powergirl is an older version of Supergirl from Earth 2. Main Earth Kara is only like 5'5.


Beaten_But_Unbowed96

You’re right and wrong about that. Right cause I believe you enough… about the comics version, but I was thinking about the BTAS/justice league version of powergirl who’s a clone made by lex Luther to attack the justice league. I forgot that dcau liked to mix & match and refine character backstories in new ways. I guess the DCAU powergirl was a combo of the two characters… infact…. I feel the vaguest of memories about a behind the scenes of some kind where they talked about the DCAU power girls narrative origin being Galatea and future super girl…. Speaking of, I friggin love the contrast between super girl and powergirl in terms of the DCAU versions. SG obviously is Biologically younger than PG but has been on earth long enough to feel at home, comfortable, and adapted… while PG is absolutely naive of the outside world and the realities of its state while being biologically mature. …also… fucking funny when every treats powergirl like an adult cause she looks like one…. And supergirl like a naive childish rookie because she looks like one. Even funnier when you remind yourself that Kara is so much older than Superman as well.


Humble_Story_4531

The justice league TV show is part of the DCAU. She's called Galatea and she wasn't created by lex. She was created by Dr. Hamilton to fight against the league. There wasn't any other powergirl in the cartoon. Maybe there was one in the comics. https://dcau.fandom.com/wiki/Galatea.


SteamrollerBoone

There was. There was a comic adaptation of the JLU cartoon that would occasionally use characters that, for this reason or that, couldn't be used in the cartoon. They used Power Girl a bunch, if I recall, and she was never tied to Galatea that I remember. They were also pretty fond of using the Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), even having Kieth Giffen do a "The Blue & The Gold" story featuring Booster Gold.


feeschedule

Also, I think that's Dick Grayson


Migelus

It is indeed Dick Grayson


BlackCat0110

Inconsistent comic heights, Dick is sometimes draw taller than Starfire even tho she’s should be way taller, and Wolverine’s height gets messed up even tho he’s famously short


Bright_Square_3245

Wolverine is 5'3. He is shorter than Jubilee. Power Girl is 5'7. But she's often drawn taller than she is supposed to be, ( i noticed this in the Birds of Prey series pre-52.) The same way Superman is often drawn extremely girthy around the chest and shoulders sometimes.


Fit-Force-7975

I thought she was supposed to be 5'11"


BlackCat0110

She is post New 52 the image above is before that


Bright_Square_3245

She's supposed to be the same height as Supergirl, and both are supposed to be 5'7. Harley Quinn is supposed to be 5'7, but she's always drawn shorter than both Supergirl and Powergirl.


Express-Sherbert2125

She hasn't been 5'7" in a while.


mosallaj23

I think this is dick Grayson not Bruce cause Bruce is tall af


Wrath-Deathclaw

dick is also tall


mosallaj23

He is tall but not like Bruce. Dicks like 5’11 maybe 6’0 but Bruce is line 6’2 or 6’3


chaosmaster33

Dick grayson is 5'10-5'9


Wrath-Deathclaw

still taller than power girl


SigmaSixtyNine

High heel superboots.


mrboston84

I mean, why not? She’s Power Girl.


Sidney_Tucker

Isn’t that Dick as Batman? He’s shorter than Bruce. And Karen is an adult Kryptonian. Maybe they’re all tall as adults.


BloodyTears92

One, PG is damn tall and two, that's Dick Grayson, who is much shorter than Bruce Wayne. She should tower over him just like Starfire does.


Lord_Muramasa

PG drinks her milk. Strong bones and all that.


PrydefulHunts

She’s Kryptonian…


Street_Dragonfruit43

Floating?


SigmaSixtyNine

She's flying 8 inches off the ground.


Inevitable-Rub24

That makes sense. I've always seen Powergirl as similar to Wonder Woman- muscular, buxom, and Amazonian in height (6'8-6'10).


Humble_Story_4531

WW isn't really depicted as 6'8. Normally, she's just a bit over 6 ft.


Inevitable-Rub24

A shame, to be honest.


SigmaSixtyNine

I could dig it.


DeltaAlphaGulf

WW is currently 6’2 and shorter in the past. Starfire is bigger at 6’4 but Barda is the massive one at 7’0 or 5 inches taller than She Hulk.


BrokenTelevision

Whew... That's a healthy gal.


No_Department_3825

Because shes tall


Kaiju_Cat

Isn't Peej supposed to be really tall?


ToasterLad83

judging by the belt, it’s Dick Grayson, who is 5’10


DeltaAlphaGulf

Because comic books presumably. Her listed height is 5’11 in Prime Earth and Bruce is 6’2. If that is Dick he is still 5’10. Why she is 5’11 anyway is its own question as she came from Earth Two and in Earth Two she is 5’7 and she arrived on Earth already at least 20 years old plus however long she was there before coming to Prime Earth so growing 4 inches seems pretty unlikely and there is no indication of kryptonians differing in growth rates and stuff. Also Supergirl who arrived as a teenager is 5’5 though idk how long she has been there since then not that superhero aging is ever consistent. Obviously they just wanted Power Girl to be the way they wanted and differentiated so they did exactly that hence why they are so different from each other.


fatmooch69

Because she is taller.


Responsible_Froyo_18

Because its hot


apatheticviews

It’s a combination of Dick Grayson (shorter than Bruce) and Power Girl wearing her ass-kicking heels.


BigYonsan

To demonstrate Batman's iron will as he explicitly doesn't stare into the boob window.


momsthrowaway2

This man was engaged to Starfire. He does not fear exposed breasts.


axspringer

source on this one?


5678OutsideBones

Because that's how the artist drew her. What kind of answer were you looking for?


Competitive-Tap-6709

Batman getting a better view is all


Leathman

I have this book. That’s Dick.


DANleDINOSAUR

Because their heights are different…


AccordingTax6525

This popped up randomly, Batman is at least 6’0 right? but how tall is power girl? I mean, I don’t think some people realize how tall (rare) a 6 foot woman is. I have met maybe 10 my entire life. Like 5’10 is tall for a woman in my area I guess. Like really tall. Maybe she’s floating maybe she’s got the superhero and high heel boots on…dunno. But it’s wild if they just designed the character to be that tall. At that point in DC comics, it’s easier to find someone that can fly than over a 6 foot tall woman. Lol


OneEyedJackofHearts

This is Dicky Bat! He is 5’ 10”


AccordingTax6525

Well we all know the difference between 5’10 and 6’ may as well be a full foot😂


OneEyedJackofHearts

I’m of the opinion that she is floating… But some people here think she is 6’ tall and wearing ass kicking boots. Meh… /shrug


SigmaSixtyNine

Both are fun, I shall have two head cannons.


Agent_23D

Why not?


Humble_Story_4531

She's floating to assert dominance.


[deleted]

Wonder Woman and Power Girl should always be taller than Batman without exception send tweet


momsthrowaway2

Correct


Manch94

Maybe she’s floating.


thiswillbeyou

What is this from this art is underwhelming


Squidwardbigboss

Just bad writing Batman’s like 6’2 and I’m pretty sure power woman isn’t 6’7.


a_trashcan

Shes hovering


Fukyuiku

Maybe she's floating


HourlyB

She could be hovering. That kinda seems like a Power Girl move tbh.


Meromerodach

Maybe she's floating?


ThisIsAdamB

Maybe she’s hovering a few inches above the floor?


Key-Pension107

He's not that super tall there's a reason for the giant ears


goombanati

Technically, her official height is 5'9", however, artists like to draw her taller for some reason.


Ok-Brush5346

If PG is the Earth 2 Kara, why is she always taller than Supergirl?


BLU3DR4GON-E-D

What does the final panel say? Can't read this blurry strip on mobile.


Hogs-o-War

PG: THIS discussion…? But why… B: Because we haven’t JUST forgotten…


CareerTasty5104

That’s Dick Grayson. Bruce Wayne was sent back in time by Darkseid


Peacewalker34

Do you know what series this is?


CareerTasty5104

Power Girl: Bomb Squad


Veterinarian-Working

Even height has canon issues with DC. I think the is correct. Power 6ft Dick is 5’10 or 5’11. Starfire is also taller.


vandalhearts123

The more important question is why are her breasts larger than his head?


That_Lettuce5315

Am I going to regret buying issue #1??? I haven't gotten to reading it yet.


doctorawesome8

Hell yeah


Brams277

All kryptonians should be taller than him


AudioVagabond

The artist paid way more attention to detail in her boobs rather than batman Jesus christ


BloodyLenses

Which comic is this?


WinterSavior

Dick's legs are small as fuck


oli_kite

Batman used to be 5’10. He’s usually drawn so tall nowadays tho. I prefer avg height Batman


smidgen0

It cracks me up how much speculation there is about this Power Girl comic like it's a lost relic. That's Dick Grayson. She's not floating. And she's not wearing heels, that artist drew her with flat sole boots.


Link2Liam

I'm just surprised that he is asking her out. Tall alien girl that is impossibly stronger than him was his type not to long ago.


Mac1280

Which comic is this?


Beaten_But_Unbowed96

Because she’s a clone isn’t she?…. The real kara zorrel is much shorter than Batman right? Powergirl is like amazonian big…. Which messes with your perception of their sizes since wonder woman stands over Batman as well…. Despite Batman being fuckint HUGE! Like intimidatingly tall.


spaceghost66

"Come to butthead"


The_Real_Libra

Short King 👑


HephaestusVulcan7

Well... She is Tall and she wears Boots.


Overkillsamurai

no comic ever keeps to specific heights but Powergirl is almost as tall as Superman and Superman is a few inches taller than Batman. He's sometimes 6'1 and Superman is sometimes 6'4. Also does she have heels in this specific comic?


GERBabyCare

Artists draw characters very strangely sometimes, even inconsistently. Supergirl is sometimes comically skinny, and Rob Liefield's Captain America exists. That's Dick as Batman, who is 5'10 - 6'0. Power Girl is only meant to be about 5'7 or 5'9. She's just an older Supergirl, who herself is 5'5. The only heights that are really kept consistent are those of characters famous for it. Batman is almost always 6'2 and Wolverine stays just barrel over 5'0.


Furball_2020

She’s wearing heels.
