RIO DE JANEIRO – Supergirl came out of the dressing room ready for action as usual. She took her place alongside Freddy Krueger, Poison Ivy and Captain America and they kicked off, into song.
That idiosyncratic lineup is a typical sort of lineup for the Carnival street band Desliga da Justica, but this year they were facing cameras in a studio and the fans were scattered across the internet instead of dancing in the streets during one of the world's most iconic celebrations. “Everybody at home, move the furniture out of the way to dance and drink cold beer,” called out the woman dressed as Poison Ivy, who began the show with a traditional Carnival song.
