Work has begun on a DC Super Hero Girls TV series.
According to an official press release, the series will feature “fresh character designs and storytelling” from Emmy Award–winning producer Lauren Faust (My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic).
Characters teased in the press release, which will be featured on the new animated series, include Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Bumblebee, Zatanna, Green Lantern Jessica Cruz, Katana and Harley Quinn. More are expected to appear on the show, which is targeted towards young girls.
A synopsis for the series reads: “The world may know them as Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Batgirl, but not-so-typical teenagers Diana, Kara and Barbara, alongside their Super Hero friends have much more to deal with than just protecting the citizens of Metropolis from some of the most sinister school-aged Super-Villains of the DC Universe.
“After all, being teens is tough enough, what with school, friends, family and the chaos that comes with managing a social life. But add super powers and a secret identity to the mix, and things can get a lot more complicated.”
The Warner Bros. Animation/DC Entertainment show will debut on Cartoon Network in 2018.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
