We learned just over a month ago that the DC Universe platform was adding a fourth live-action series to its slate with a Stargirl series. We haven’t had any details since then on what they intend to do in terms of character, setting, actors, staffing, the whole nine yards. But with the DC Universe service getting some attention today we now have a formal logo for it that ties in well to the classic character costume in a good way.
The character was the first one that Geoff Johns created upon joining DC Comics back in 1999 and he’ll be writing for the series and serving as an executive producer along with Greg Berlanti and working with Sarah Schechter. The series is set for a 2019 debut with a thirteen episode run planned. This isn’t using the Stargirl that we saw in the Legends of Tomorrow series during its trip to the 1940’s, however, as it’s focusing on the teenaged Courtney Whitmore that Johns created.
“Obviously, Stargirl was first character I created for DC,” Johns told Deadline back in July. “Most important, Courtney Whitmore was inspired by my sister who passed away,” he added. “To have an opportunity to tell a story celebrating this superhero was literally the first thing I wanted to do because it is so personal to me. Also, a character that speaks to being young, to a legacy and to pushing forward seems so important to me nowadays.”
Plot Concept: High school student Whitmore bands together with the Justice Society of America to fight villains, past and present.
