Stargirl creator and DC Entertainment creative whirlwind Geoff Johns has unveiled a pair of new posters for the new series on his Facebook account today.
One features lead actor Brec Bassinger with the Cosmic staff, cosmic energies swirling around her. The second depicts the show's take on the Justice Society of America, which will be made of of Stargirl, her step-father Pat Dugan (Luke Wilson) in his robotic S.T.R.I.P.E. armor, as well as youth-oriented takes on Wildcat, Dr. Midnite and Hourman. The second poster also depicts what looks to be a squad of villainous characters.
The show is set to debut on DC Universe May 18th, and then on The CW May 19th.
DC's Stargirl is the 2020 DC Universe/CW TV series based on the DC Comics of the same name.
The show stars Brec Bassinger as Courtney Whitmore, a high school student whose stepfather, Pat Dugan (Luke Wilson) is the grown, former sidekick of a lost hero called Starman (in the comics it was the Star Spangled Kid). Courtney finds that she can wield Starman's staff and adopts a star spangled costume. To assist her, Pat develops a robotic suit of armor and becomes her sidekick called S.T.R.I.P.E. Starman's dying wish was for the Justice Society to live on, and Courtney takes on assembling a team of next-generation superheroes into an all new Justice Society of America.
Along with Bassinger and Wilson, Stargirl features Amy Smart, Trae Romano, Cameron Gellman, Yvette Monreal, Anjelika Washington, Meg DeLacy, Neil Jackson, Jake Austin Walker, Christopher James Baker and Hunter Sansone.
The character Courtney Whitmore and the concept of Stargirl was developed by writer Geoff Johns and artist Lee Moder. She initially appeared in the 1999 comic series Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E., and called herself the Star Spangled Kid. Her abilities were derived from her Cosmic Converter Belt, which was part of the original Kid's arsenal. Later she meets a retiring Starman and is given his cosmic staff. At that point she adopts the name Stargirl.
DC's Stargirl is set to stream on DC Universe and then air on The CW a day later.
