"DC Super Hero Girls" (Television Series) News & Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

As reminder per the rules here, don't post full images and stick to thumbnails. Also, as a common courtesy to others, also post the links to articles, tweets, and the like.

So we’re getting shorts and a full series? That seems to be the norm this day and age. I really hope the full series does well. This team of DCSHG reminds me of the Mane 6 of MLP, and makes me think this is Faust’s attempt to make that version of MLP that she truly wanted.

Yes, the logline on the Late Babsy's page on YouTube indicates there will be a shorts series titled DC Super Hero Girls: Super Shorts and it formally begins next week Thursday, January 17.

I wonder how long after these webisodes the full series premieres. I would guess sometime in spring, but who can tell for sure anymore. Anyway, should be fun.

This was earlier than expected.

Cool! I wonder if they'll do this for every girl after a Super Short spotlights them ?

Looks like we get to hear and see a bit of the theme song at the beginning there. Definitely sounds like a pretty pumpin' "girl power" song, just like "Get Your Cape On" .

So everything is still set in Metropolis I see .

It's fun seeing them empathize Babs being a Batman fangirl here .

"Sweet Justice" looks like a more Starbucks-esque Capes and Cowls Cafe. Does Steve Trevor still work there ?

I wonder if Tara is going to change her Harley voice at all, because her more high-pitched, cutesy, voice for Barbara here is more like her Harley voice...although I guess there's the accent for distinction .

She could probably go for a lower register for Harley, much like that Batman short from Justice League : Gods And Monsters Chronicles . Though given the different target audiences for both projects, she'll probably still play her in a clowny manner and not a psycho killer.

 

[Troy Troodon]

I'd personally prefer another either Grey Griffin or Kari Wahlgren playing Harley instead; or even a whole other actress and not just one of cast for the main six (Did I just say that?!) doing double duty.

Not to put a damper on things, but it seems like when it comes to any recent kid friendly series , Tara is the go to voice for Harley. Besides, in the other DCSHG projects, Grey DeLisle Griffin did double duty with Wonder Woman and Giganta , with her doing Lois in the Lego Brain Drain movie, and I don't hear complaints there .

DC Super Hero Girls: Super Shorts "Get To Know Batgirl"

I don't like Tara Strong's take on Batgirl. For the record, I hate her take on Unikitty too.

It's interesting the cadence of the show title is pronounced differently than the Fontana series. There "Girls" is accentuated, while here "Hero" is.

I'll probably like the series when Batgirl isn't talking. ***.

Ben Jones confirmed he's working on the series and the super shorts.

Nice to have him back on a DC project .

Now it's Diana's turn. Someone keep her away from the desserts.

Meet Diana Prince. She's a heroic princess of the Amazons, and the fearless leader of the DC Superhero Girls.

 

[Frontier]

Now it's Diana's turn. Someone keep her away from the desserts.

So I guess Babs will be doing all the "Get to Know" videos too .

Is that blonde girl in the ponytail giving Wonder Woman the stink eye a pre-transformation Cheetah? I only ask because of that fur coat she's wearing in one scene and, if you squint, you can see her test says "Barb" as in Barbara Minerva .

So their actual team name is "DC Superhero Girls?" I wonder how they come up with the "DC" ?

You might be right. I got her confused for Giganta at first but yeah that makes WAY MORE SENSE.

You know, I always imagined Diana to be TERRIBLE at schoolwork seeing how she's knows next to NOTHING about the world of man.

Why does Wonder Woman having Ice Cream always rocks the sweet tooth.

Why does Wonder Woman having Ice Cream always rocks the sweet tooth.

Consider it an homage to a scene in Justice League: Origin in which Wonder Woman tries ice cream for the first time as part of her first visit to "Man's World".

Maybe just in Barbara's head. Remember SBFF didn't go down well? Then again, these videos are just primers, not episodes or set in universe.

DC Super Hero Girls Super Shorts "Get To Know Wonder Woman"

I have literally only seen this show's Wonder Woman via a minute and a half clip, and I already love her more than I ever did the other show's Diana. She's arch, severe, and real character. That will make the funny stuff (such as with the cake) land better. The worst thing the Shea Fontana series did was treat Diana as the high school prom queen. That ain't Diana's jam and never was. I expect good things from both this show and this character. *.

I don't know if I'd go for prom queen (compared to Star Sapphire). She was really more of a go-getter, overachiever .

 

[Fone Bone]

I didn't mean she was a LITERAL prom queen. But her personality type was typical of those kinds of characters. She was way more Barbie Dream House than Princess Diana warrior goddess.

Lauren says that they’re finishing the first episode this week and that the premiere date should be announced in the next few months.
