Answer: Some possible reasons gleaned from the Internet: Filmmakers wanted a different vision of Supergirl to reflect a darker, grittier personality and to show her refugee-like experience. Her dark short hair symbolizes her harsher journey from her home world. Also, it gives her a more androgynous look, reflecting both her feminine and masculine traits. Those are all possible reasons, but adopting a radically different look for an established character generates more attention and interest in the film.
