I grew up reading comic books of all sorts (I have three older brothers who are not only big nerds, er, fans, but they helped start San Diego Comic-Con). This show is more aimed at teens, but it fits in nicely with all the other CW superhero series. Unlike those, this one focuses on rebuilding the Justice Society of America. We really haven&#8217;t seen any other series where they take a while to build up a team. &#8220;Legends of Tomorrow&#8221; was put together by Rip in one episode. It has a lot of humor, good acting, great acting and fun special effects as well as many terrifying villains.<\/p>\n<p>We saw the JSA in an episode of &#8220;Legends of Tomorrow,&#8221; but they were set in the past. Also, this was before &#8220;Crisis on Infinite Earths,&#8221; so things have been changed (obviously). In this series, the JSA was slaughtered by the Injustice Society (ISA) roughly a decade or so earlier.<\/p>\n<p>Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) is a teenager whose mom gets remarried to a nice guy, Pat (Luke Wilson), who moves the family to his hometown of Blue Valley. Pat has a garage where he fixes up cars, but he also has all of the JSA costumes and weapons there, and he builds himself a giant robot out of car parts. Courtney learns that Pat used to be the sidekick for the JSA superhero, Starman. She has a special connection to Starman&#8217;s magic staff, and she sees that Starman looked just like her father, who went missing a decade ago.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Pat&#8217;s objections, Courtney becomes Stargirl and sets about building a new JSA, once they figure out that the ISA is still around and plotting evil deeds. Conveniently, each of the heroes in the JSA got their powers from various items, so Courtney just has to find other young people that can use the items effectively. Pat tries to help them work as a team.<\/p>\n<p>The acting is great, and you may enjoy the show because it has a lot of action and fun. The villains are very interesting, too. Teens especially should love it.<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<p><strong>DC\u2019S STARGIRL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Broadcast Premiere Tuesday, May 19 (8:00-9:00pm ET)<\/p>\n<p>The new DC UNIVERSE drama series <strong>DC\u2019S STARGIRL<\/strong> follows high school sophomore Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) as she inspires an unlikely group of young heroes to stop the villains of the past.
