Synopsis for "The New Adventures of Supergirl
The Girl of Steel"
Supergirl races toward a crashing Air Force One falling out of the sky while two parties simultaneously monitor her progress: Superman and Batman from the Batcave, and the Calculator from his base of operations. The Calculator is in contact with an unidentified individual.
As Supergirl flies under the plane to lift it, she inadvertently breaks one of the wings off. At this, Superman bolts at super speed to help his cousin. Meanwhile, it is made known that the unidentified individual the Calculator is talking to has caused Air Force One to go down.
After Superman and Supergirl see Air Force One touchdown safely, Supergirl takes off with Superman tailing her. They race past Ellis Island, into space and past the JLA tower on the moon when Superman stops suddenly, realizing she lost him. As Calculator continues to monitor her progress, she stops and stares into the camera (presumably some distance away) causing Calculator to fear that she's aware of him spying on her.
Supergirl flies into the Batcave and confronts Batman, accusing him of spying on her. He informs her that it's not about her, but that Clark is concerned about her getting hurt. She angrily tells him that she is hurt and that she'll be patrolling in Gotham City. She also informs Batman that she fears they aren't the only ones spying on her.
Supergirl meets Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) in Gotham. Batgirl has Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn under surveillance while they attempt to rob a bank. Ivy has several bank guards under her control while Quinn attempts to smash the vault door with a giant mallet. Supergirl and Batgirl swoop down and engage them. During the melee, Ivy orders her guards to fire at Batgirl. However Supergirl is able to jump in front of the gunfire and uses her body as a shield. Poison Ivy then kisses Supergirl in an attempt to control her with synthetic Kryptonite. Supergirl throws her off as the kiss has no affect.
Calculator then says into a microphone "Now." At this, Batgirl uppercuts Supergirl and starts to attack her. During the fight, Supergirl is thrown down and her attacker is revealed to be Clayface disguising himself as Batgirl.
Supergirl however, was aware of the ruse from the beginning (as she knew Barbara Gordon was confined to a wheelchair years ago) and sheers off the ground Clayface is standing on and throws him into the river.
Supergirl meets Superman in the air and they talk about her experience fighting "meta-human super-villains" for the first time. Superman says she did well and begins to offer suggestion before Supergirl informs her cousin he's ruined the experience by giving advice.
Calculator reveals the unidentified individual he's been in contact as Lex Luthor. He asks Lex if he wants to call off his tests of Supergirl. Luthor remarks "the game just got that much more interesting." Luthor, clad in his battle armor, holds up his hand with various types of Kryptonite (including black) embedded into the knuckles.

Synopsis for "Girl Power: Teen Titans"
Supergirl visits the Kent Farm in the hopes of having a conversation with Superboy. Superboy, having recently gone through extreme turmoil, is very un-trusting of others, and perceives Supergirl's approach as a threat. The two begin fighting and Supergirl breaks Conner's jaw. They eventually make peace and Kara fixes Conner's jaw.
The two begin to speak amicably to one another, but suddenly, Conner's teammates in the Teen Titans appear. Without provocation, the Titans begin fighting against Superboy and Supergirl. The Titans still do not trust Conner due to his recent brainwashing at the hands of Lex Luthor.
Wonder Girl ensnares Supergirl with her Lasso of Lightning, but Supergirl is more than strong enough to withstand the electrical discharge. Her willpower forces the charge back upon Wonder Girl who falls to the ground stunned. Raven grabs Supergirl and envelops her in her soul-self. Raven cannot interpret the conflicting emotions she is perceiving and lets go of Supergirl. Beast Boy turns into an elephant and sits on Superboy, but Superboy picks him up and prepares to hurl him at Cyborg. Supergirl zips over and keeps the two from continuing the fight. Suddenly, Starfire of the Outsiders arrives and says that she has important information for Supergirl.
Elsewhere, Lex Luthor conspires with the Calculator on the means by which to take Supergirl down. Luthor is wearing an upgraded battlesuit equipped with multi-colored Kryptonite weaponry.

Synopsis for "Girl Power: Outsiders"
Supergirl has spent the past three days associating with the Outsiders. Wearing a pair of Kryptonite-infused handcuffs, she engages in an intense combat training situation with Grace and Thunder. Nightwing and Arsenal arrive and put an end to the training. Supergirl is smitten with Nightwing and barely hears him as he tells her that he has a lead on who's been tracking her.
Once she finally gets the information together, she flies off towards Monument Valley, Utah. The Outsiders want to follow her to keep an eye on her, but Supergirl sabotages the control grid of The Pequod with a blast of heat vision.
Supergirl arrives in Utah and finds Lex Luthor waiting for her. Lex is wearing his LexCorp battlesuit and begins pummeling Supergirl with his Kryptonite-enhanced armaments. When he gets her on the ground, he projects a ray of Black Kryptonite energy at her with surprising results. An evil version of Supergirl, wearing a black costume, emerges from Supergirl's prone body. Speaking Kryptonese, she tells Lex that "you just made the biggest mistake of what's left of your life!"

Synopsis for "Girl Power: JLA"
A dark, malicious version of Supergirl rises up from the stunned form of the real Supergirl. Lex Luthor expected this to happen, but is still surprised to see two different Supergirls before his eyes. Dark Supergirl has no love for anything but her own sense of power and Luthor and she begin fighting. Dark Supergirl grabs Lex and flies him off into outer space. She dumps him onto Earth's moon and sends him smashing through the JLA Watchtower. The doppelgänger lands to finish him off, but Green Lantern is present and holds the evil Supergirl off. She then uses her super-speed to snatch Green Lantern's ring off of his finger, then batters him into the wall. While she's distracted, Luthor opens a communiqué with the Calculator, who hacks into the JLA's teleport tubes, and enables Luthor the ability to escape.
Meanwhile, the real Supergirl comes to in the deserts of Monument Valley, Utah. Standing above her is Starfire, who is likewise recovering from injuries visited upon her by Lex Luthor. Starfire tells her about the evil doppelgänger and that Luthor and she took off into outer space.
At the Watchtower, the evil Supergirl fights up against several more members of the JLA, including Hawkman, the Flash, Black Canary and Martian Manhunter. She easily incapacitates each one of them. On the surface of the moon, outside the Watchtower, she snatches the Martian Manhunter by the throat, preparing to snap his neck. Before she can do so however, the real Supergirl arrives on the scene.

Synopsis for "Girl Power: Supergirls"
On the surface of the moon, the real Supergirl and her evil doppelgänger square off against one another. Evil Supergirl taunts her as they trade blows, questioning her counterpart's true identity. The JLA regroup and are ready to join the fight, but the evil Supergirl flies off into space. Supergirl chases after her, but the evil Supergirl baits her into an ambush. The JLA meanwhile, send a message to some friends back on Earth.
The two brawling Kryptonians continue attacking one another, and Supergirl lures her evil duplicate into following her to Gotham City. There, Batman stands ready. The evil Supergirl scoffs at Batman's presence and tries to kill him, but Batman manages to evade her attacks. Seconds later, Superman and Wonder Woman arrive to help Batman out.
The evil Supergirl power-dives into the real one and switches their costumes at super-speed. Now the JLA have no way of knowing which one is the real Supergirl and which one is the duplicate. Regretably, Superman is forced to turn his fists against both of them. He's not willing to take any chances. Batman manages to corral them together with his Kryptonite Ring and Wonder Woman binds them together using the Lasso of Truth. She commands the Supergirls to tell her who is the real Kara Zor-El. Since the mystical properties of the lasso can not adequately distinguish between the two, it merges them back together and Supergirl is once again whole.
