The first trailer for DC Universe’s Stargirl series is here and it’s, em, from The CW.
So we learned a while back that the series, created by DC Comics’ Geoff Johns, would be airing on both DC Universe and The CW.
And it looks pretty good and it’s quite clear that the budget is above the standard CW budget not just in the effects but in the cast which includes Brec Bassinger as Courtney Whitmore AKA Stargirl, her mum played by Amy Smart and stepdad, Pat Dugan played by Luke Wilson.
Not only that but it seems her new stepdad was once Stripesy, the sidekick to the one and only Starman played by community’s Joel McHale. It seems McHale will be appearing in flashbacks as he was killed and was also part of the Justice Society of America. But, wouldn’t you know it, it seems that Courtney is destined to become Stargirl after she was chosen by the Cosmic Staff; look, it’s comic books, ok?
This lends fuel to the rumours that the Crisis on Infinite Earths event currently going on in The CW’s Arrowverse are aiming on knitting all the DC shows together including the upcoming HBO Max shows; but I’ll have more on that in a future article.
For now, check out the Stargirl trailer and expect it to join the Arrowverse next year.
