DC's Stargirl |OT| The staff made me do it!

I'm kinda on board with this.

That said, if Ted Knight built the staff and Pemberton inherited it as a child, it would be strange because Knight would be ANCIENT. It might be that she's Ted's granddaughter.

I believe that's exactly what the quoted person is saying.

Jack Knight (Ted's son) is the father.

Starman looks good, the rest of the old JSA are placeholders so far but largely faithful

The Injustice Society are mostly dark leather clad which works fine

Stargirl and the new JSA have good costumes but oversized bulbous cowls

What the heck is up with the cowls, anyway? Like....they all seem to look like bicycle helmets with some leather/lycra over them. Who thought that looked good, especially Wildcat's?

They're trying to get a comics accurate shape to 'em but to do that with RL materials you need to go thick. Is what it is.

Wildcat's costume has always looked stupid, though.

Hmm, I dunno. They could have very easily done Wildcat's mask very close to this.

Especially since they basically did that exact type of mask (sans muzzle) with Batman Returns, without issue.

The Dr. Midnight one just outright looks like the mask doesn't fit her. It is entirely possible that's intentional, though.

How are the suits compared to the Arrowverse?
And is it set in the Arrowverse?

They really haven't shown off many characters in the show yet so it's hard to make too many calls/comparisons. It's Earth-2 on the Arrowverse, not Earth Prime.

Joni · May 30, 2020

For the costumes, people will disagree, but I like the simplicity of the Legends of Tomorrow's one off Stargirl design versus the more leathery designed one from Stargirl.

I mean, they did have costumes hd shots

The only one of those suits that's been shown in the show yet is Stargirl. Plus if you've seen the promo shots why do you need us to tell you if they're good or not lol

And yes it's the multiverse with Titans and Doom Patrol each getting their own earth

The lineup screams, we put the money elsewhere. Could have thrown in Cyclone or Jakeem Thunder.

It's way better than I expected. Glad I read this thread.

ZeroX · May 30, 2020

Jakeem seems like an easy pick next season, we know Thunderbolt is out there somewhere. He's probably in one of Pat's boxes.

also looking forward to the scene where Pat has to explain to Barbara why he thought it was a good idea to enable a bunch of teenage superheroes. like you saw the OGs die right in front of you lol

That's good to hear! Gonna give it a try then

mm04 · May 30, 2020

So someone tell me what the differences so far between CW and DCU versions? Unfortunately my DCU annual subscription ended right after the premiere and I wasn't ready to commit to more with the uncertainty of the service going forward. I may wait a few months so I can binge finish out Harley Quinn and re-watch this one.

They cut about 10 minutes per episode.

Ooooff! Well, I guess I'll re-sub in a month or so. Thanks for the info.

Another solid episode. I don't know how long this will last, but thus far I'm satisfied with the show.

I can't help but feel like Brainwave's actor looks a LOT like a skinnier Matt Letscher though, and that's a little distracting.

Looks like a cross between Matt Letscher and Ulrich Thomsen from Banshee.

I had to look on IMDB to make sure the actor playing Jordan wasn't the guy who played Henry Heywood in Legends of Tomorrow.

milamber182 · May 31, 2020

Off to a great start. It's like a cross between early Smallville and Flash S1 with a decent budget. General tone is light but with creepy villians. Love the cast. I just hope it doesn't get CW-ified in S2 like Riverdale.

Subatomic Tactical Robot Internet Pat Enhancer LOL.

KDash · Jun 1, 2020

Episode 3 is up on DC Universe!

PlanetSmasher · Jun 1, 2020

Damn, actual confirmation that their Flash is dead. This episode is pretty goddamn dark.

KDash · Jun 1, 2020

3 for 3. Loving this show.

Ashhong · Jun 1, 2020

Glad to hear the show is good, will check it out now.

I read above that Titans is part of the multi-arrowverse? Was that confirmed in an episode? I haven't watched S2 yet

Stargirl is Earth-2, Titans is Earth-9, and Doom Patrol is Earth-21.

Crisis on Infinite Earths showed that basically all live-action DC stuff is set in the same multiverse, including the movies.

What the..did they specifically label each earth at some point? I must have missed it

Or maybe I just need to watch Crisis. Skipped that last year..

They're all shown during the little montage of the restored universes at the end of Crisis Part 5.

Presumably Lucifer's Earth-666 came back as well - or escaped destruction entirely - since Lucifer's scene in Crisis takes place several years before the start of his show.

And yes, you should watch it. It's fun.

I didn't want to watch without catching up on the shows and that seemed like such a daunting task. I'll probably just watch Crisis episodes after I watch Stargirl. Thanks for the education

Yeah, you'd go insane trying to keep up with every single Arrowverse show if you wanted to burn through them all at once. I pretty much just watch the Flash, Legends of Tomorrow and this one.

KDash · Jun 1, 2020

I seem to be among the few here who watch every CW DC show, and am caught up on all of them.

Only modern DC shows I haven't watched are Gotham and Krypton...well, I did watch the pilot of Gotham when it premiered, but never felt like watching any more of it.

I do still need to finish watching Swamp Thing. Only watched 2-3 episodes.

ZeroX · Jun 1, 2020

Another really solid episode, although definitely a lot darker than the other two.

Also Jakeem confirmed

I watched all the berlanti stuff as well.

ody · Jun 1, 2020

Iceman conveniently landing on the road where a bus full of kids are traveling which also happens to include Wizard guy's son... and then tries to kill them because? and when that failed he picked out Wizard's son from across a lake? lol And then they wanted me to care about the kid who had like 5 seconds of screen time? Not to mention Court leaving Pat to freeze before all this

And who the hell has 10ft tall pictures of themselves in their superhero HQ?

Okay episode aside from those nitpicks

milamber182 · Jun 1, 2020

Episode took a couple of unexpectedly dark turns. I'd put it on par with Black Lightning and Legends so far.

You should watch Black Lightning. It's standalone except for the Crisis crossover. Also the best written of all the DC shows, IMO.

Was that there when they were alive? I thought that was a memorial things Pat did after they died.

Why there is no promo shot of anyone with the LANTERN ???

Because there's a Green Lantern show in development, same reason that none of those kids are putting on the Flash helmet

No it's not but the point is that those two probably won't be getting junior heroes anytime soon as they're already on other shows

yeah the episode made that VERY clear with the "specialy this pen" and the laugh

Tabby · Jun 1, 2020

I'm actually really surprised the wizards were killed off so early, I figured him and the kid would play a bigger part.

Also, what do we do about spoiler tags? Since not everyone watches this on the DCU.

Wingfan19 · Jun 2, 2020

What's the pen for? I don't recognize that character.

Yeesh, I have never seen or heard of that character before... I mean, I never really read any old JSA stuff anyway, but I've been reading DC since the early 90's, ya think I would've come across him.

Kuro · Jun 2, 2020

I got whiplash from this episode. Everything about the bridge and what followed was insanely stupid.

Ashhong · Jun 2, 2020

Show definitely feels like a mix of DCU, CW, and Smallville. It's pretty good so far

Dr Doom · Jun 2, 2020

They just made the son (Matt) one dimensional and annoying.

Damn father and son died just like that.
