I mean characters which are far more obscure than she is are on TV, in animation, in movies, and have big roles in comic books, while PG has the occasional panel in one comic book.
She's a natural fit for the TV shows The Flash, Arrow, and especially Superigirl, or as the person from the empty pod in MoS----yet she never shows up, not even a hint or Easter Egg.
I get that they're pushing Supergirl now, but that doesn't preclude also pushing Power Girl. Superboy and Superman have coexisted for ages with no problems, and SG and PG share a similar dynamic, with PG as the more mature and experienced sort, and SG as the sweeter, more naive type who still learning the ropes.
Hell, unlike SG, Power Girl has never even had a serious origin story....and we don't know very much about how her Krypton was destroyed. Was it by Zod? Brainiac? Something else? We also have almost no information on her first year of two on Earth.
DC seems intent on at least refering to EVERY character they have, no matter how minor, in other media, EXCEPT Power Girl....and the excuse that she's too confusing is out the window now that The Flash TV show has introduced Earth-2...and probably every character who is supposed to be there except her, (noting the Supergirl sequence during the transition to Earth-2. Supergirl is taking over all the roles PG used to have....and DC seems to be phasing her out, thus spitting in the faces of Power Girl fans without realizing that fans can like BOTH Supergirl and Power Girl. But destroying Power Girl in favor of Supergirl because Johns doesn't like PG is a great way to get some Supergirl fans to dislike her.
