Cress Williams linked to a blog site saying that Black Lightning was showing up in the Crisis Crossover. Looks like he wasn't supposed to confirm it.
DC Universe's sixth scripted show, due next year, is a double-layered labor of love for executive producer Geoff Johns. Not only did the DC comic book Stargirl launch the writer's career back in 1999, but the heroine is based on his sister, who died in a 1996 plane crash. That personal tie, Johns says, is why he's so proud to create a sunnier superhero show that appeals to the whole family. "You can sit down and watch it with the kids," he promises.
In the premiere, Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger), a Californian transplant living in Nebraska with her recently re-married mom, Barbara (Amy Smart), discovers that her stepdad, Pat (Luke Wilson), has a, shall we say, interesting past--he used to be the sidekick to Starman (Joel McHale), a member of the now-defunct Justice Society of America. After Courtney stumbles upon her stepdad's stash of old hero equipment, she picks up Starman's staff and takes on the mantle of crime fighter Stargirl. Courtney and Pat team up to battle her new town's darkest elements and rebuild the JSA. That means fans will see a slew of DC Comics heroes and villians--including Doctor Mid-Nite, Bronze Tiger, Wildcat and a 12-foot CGI Solomon Grundy.
They'll also get a lead character with a whole lotta heart, courtesy of Bassinger. "To me, Brec is Stargirl," raves Johns. "She's so positive and strong and smart and funny. She's just perfect."

Glad to see an update on this show.Jasun Jabbar says he's not actually playing Static in Stargirl in a new interview, but a student named Bryan that's in six or seven episodes. He also talks a lot about his experience working on the show. He also says that filming is scheduled to be done next month.
TV Guide Magazine had a short write up about the show in their latest issue.
Titans Season 2 First Look trailer dropped.
It was unlisted. They pulled it once it started going around. It looks like it wasn't suppose to drop which is dumb really. Why not advertise a few weeks leading up to the release instead of waiting until the last minute. The reaction to it seems very positive. Which honestly isn't a surprise because season was received positively once people got to see it. Those first trailers really didn't help.So did DC accidentally drop the trailer? because I thought it was on the official DCU channel last night
Everyone's got their look or closer to their comic counterpart
Then there's just Dick hanging around in his civvies
Didn't he already become Nightwing at the end of the first season? It's been a while and my memory could be failing me, though.
Nah lolDidn't he already become Nightwing at the end of the first season? It's been a while and my memory could be failing me, though.
Anyone else just get a refund from DC universe? I got a $5 refund for some reason...
Thanks!I got one too. It's a tax thing. They accidentally overcharged (or shouldn't have charged) you taxes, according to the tax laws in your state.
Very likely, I hope, saving the Nightwing costume. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a version of this poster with him in costume.Everyone's got their look or closer to their comic counterpart

He's playing Sylvester Pemberton/Starman.I thought Joel McHale was in Stargirl as the father. Did he drop out?
