Angela covers the Eclipso crisis.
Months later, in Metropolis during the Eclipso crisis, Superman's extended family takes down an Eclipso atop a building while Angela covers the action on a news chopper. She is apparently arguing with her producer over whether or not to comment on the fact that Supergirl's outfit doesn't include a skirt, saying that it's not a big deal she wears pants and that "you don't fly in a skirt". The chopper is caught in the crossfire, and Supergirl rescues both Angela and the pilot. Supergirl also makes a point to thank Angela for her "solidarity" on the outfit issue, in which Angela replies by saying "it's just makes sense".

Notes[]
The animated Angela Chen.
- Angela Chen didn't appear in the mainstream comic books until 2017, where she was introduced as a TV Talk Show Host. She was created for the TV series Superman: The Animated Series, which was part of the DCAU. There, she was a gossip journalist for the Daily Planet and she also hosted the television show "Metropolis Today". Before her introduction in the episode "The Last Son of Krypton", the producers of the show considered the character of Cat Grant but she was dropped in favor of Angela, who would add more diversity to the Superman cast of characters, as she was Half Black-Half Asian.[citation needed] Though Chen's role mirrored Grant's from the comics. She was voiced by Lauren Tom.
- Angela did not appeared in any episodes of the TV show Smallville, she only appeared in the comic continuation of it.
- This was her first appearance outside the DC Animated Universe.
