DC's Stargirl Live-Action Series
 

Wonder if they'll get the actress who played her in Legends of Tomorrow?

Jesus, and Geoff "The Hackman" Johns makes sure and remind us of that each and every time Stargirl has been trotted out, ever.

Nobody cares about her. Stop trying to guilt us into liking her. If I name a new character after my dead grandmother that doesn't add some kind of prestige.

Finally a live-action DC series with a heroine I like, wonder who'd be cast as her family (especially Pat) though.

Did Geoff write that press release?

I never really got the appeal of Star Girl, though I did like her small chat with Chloe about family in Smallville. Other than that.... I just don't care. My fandom with DC has taken a serious beating over the last few years.

Whether he did or didn't, you can be damn sure he made sure it was in there. It's always in every Stargirl press release since forever, whether it was for JSA or her failed ongoing or specials. I bet there's even Smallville press releases about her with that in there, too.

*Edit: There IS! http://www.kryptonsite.com/geoff-joh...te-justice.htm

Haha I guess. Just seems like one of those "fun facts" that press junkets like to throw in that required the least amount of research.

It's just super annoying. Like her whole worth as a character is boiled down and defined by "Geoff Johns named her after his dead sister." wtf is that? Why is that a thing?

Another show? There are TOO MANY DC shows. I can't watch them all!!!!

*shruggs* Beats me. Like I said, I never really got her. I just figured it was like that "It really is a Homecoming" quote that was attached to every little bit of news that came out regarding Spider-Man: Homecoming because press writers are a lazy bunch.

As far as the rest of this DC service goes, I'm basically just hoping a Booster Gold/Blue and Gold series is announced. Swamp Thing I'm curious about but not holding my breath for a quality product.

Could be good but if it's anything like that Titans show then more then likely not.

Yolanda Montez AKA Wildcat II will make an appearance on the show: https://thegww.com/exclusive-wildcat...irl-tv-series/

Why not do an animated series because another CW show or netflix "too series" show does not interest me.

Brec Bassinger has been casted as Stargirl: https://ew.com/tv/2018/09/20/dc-univ...stargirl-lead/

I like that the article again points out that Geoff Johns named her after his dead sister. It's important to mention that every time, anywhere, apparently.

Joel McHale has been casted as Sylvester Pemberton aka Golden Age Starman: https://variety.com/2018/tv/news/joe...ve-1203087415/

Wow, ANOTHER article that makes it a point to mention that Stargirl is named after Geoff Johns' dead sister! Whoddathunkit?

I'm wondering where they have the budget to make like 5+ ongoing series at once now. Is DC just giving them unlimited funds to pump out as many live-action DC shows as possible?

What are we up to now:

Arrow
Flash
Supergirl
Black Lightning
Legends of Tomorrow
Stargirl
Batwoman

Teen Titans
Krypton


This is getting crazy.

Titans and Stargirl are on the Streaming Service while the others are on National TV IE CW and SyFy

the only one that is still worth watching is flash.

Somehow, it still remains fun, and has not suffered from advanced SJW syndrome like the other shows have had.

saw a press release about elseworlds on facebook, and apparently supergirl has gotten much, much worse in that department going by the comments.

damn shame.

As much as I still enjoy Flash, its got nothing on Legends of Tomorrow or Black Lightning.

I 100% Agree with this. Legends is DC Guardians of The Galaxy and I love it and Black Lightning is just perfection. Flash is still good but its number 3 on my CW list.

'Stargirl' Casts Brian Stapf as Wildcat




Stargirl's Justice Society of America has officially found its Wildcat.

According to a new report from TVInsider, Brian Stapf has been cast as Ted Grant/Wildcat in the upcoming DC Universe Streaming series. Stapf will be appearing in the series in a recurring role.

In the comics, Ted is one of the founding members of the JSA, who is a world-class fighter and a mentor to Black Canary and several other heroes. The character most recently appeared in Arrow's third season (played by J.R. Ramirez), as a gym owner and ex-vigilante who trained Laurel Lance (Katie Cassidy). Stargirl's version of Ted is reportedly poised to be comic-accurate, as he is "clawed and cowled" and is "also a former heavyweight boxer".

Stapf previously appeared as Roy in three episodes of The Walking Dead, with his filmography also including House of Cards, Valor, and The Purge television series.

Stargirl will see Brec Bassinger playing the titular role of Courtney Whitmore/Stargirl, with Joel McHale, Lou Ferigno Jr., Anjelika Washington, Yvette Monreal, and Christopher James Baker also poised to appear. The series will join an eclectic roster of DC Universe original programming, including Titans, Young Justice: Outsiders, Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol, and Harley Quinn.

"It’s cool; it’s going to take the Stars and STRIPE comic, the Justice Society comic, and merge it into one thing." executive producer and Stargirl co-creator Geoff Johns revealed earlier this year. "And tonally, it’s Spider-Man: Homecoming and Buffy the Vampire Slayer along with the [comic] books. We’re bringing a lot of the legacy stuff into it, a lot of the stuff James Robinson did with the Justice Society. I love all of that, his JSA: The Golden Age series, launching the [1999 series] JSA… I’ve always wanted to do a series based on Stars and STRIPE, so it’s really exciting."


"It’s a story about a combined family, and a young girl in school." Johns explained. "It takes place in high school; I don’t think we see a lot of superhero shows in high schools… I’m not sure there is another superhero show that takes place in high school; I love that, you know? There’s going to be good guys and bad guys. It’s going to be a lot of fun."

No midriff on stargirl won't watch. Wildcat was already cast too young, so i'm not budging on this one. #freethenavel

First look at Stargirl: http://www.polygon.com/platform/amp/...er-dc-universe

She looks pretty good.

Bringing up Geoff's dead sister again:

https://comicbook.com/dc/2019/10/18/...ing-to-the-cw/

I'm starting' to think he killed YOUR sister, as much as you spit fire his way, bruh. :lol:

We good, man, we good.

Stargirl will be on CW and DC Universe

https://comicbook.com/dc/2019/11/21/...rec-bassinger/

The DC TV world got a surprising shake-up today, when it was revealed that Stargirl will be airing on The CW in addition to the DC Universe streaming service. The deal, which will begin in 2020, will see new episodes of Stargirl premiering initially on the digital app, before airing on The CW a day later.

I would have been interested if this wasn't a CW show.

Its a DC Universe show that is airing on both CW and DC Universe

He's at it AGAIN!

He just penned an open letter about his sister as it pertains to Stargirl and his Richard Donner days (god, he loves doing that):

I find it touching, honestly.

Can't wait for the premiere episode. As a JSA fan I think the show looks good so far.

Man I was hoping Wildcat was gonna be the Ted Grant version but its his goddaughter instead Yolanda Montez

Maybe I'm just a cynical bastard who hates fun, but that poster looks like $hit.
