Stargirl TV Show

Yes it was!

But really don't understand why it's never Ted Knight as Starman?! The two Geoff Johns iterations (Smallville & Current) have both been Sylvester.

This appears to be late in the JSA's history (it was only 10 years ago not in the Golden Age and the wording implied the JSA had been around a while and had a legacy), and it mentions Sylvester being the Star Spangled Kid before getting the rod/staff and becoming Starman, so I am assuming it is referencing/channeling the stories where Knight gave the Rod to Pemberton (which Sly then improved into the staff) and hoped Sly would be his heir since neither son was interested. That's a lot of convoluted backstory to include without much pay off to Courtney's story though, so the shorthand is to just make it Sly as Starman after being the Kid and let comics fans fill in the other backstory for themselves while the general audience doesn't need it to enjoy the show itself. Sly embodies the entirety of that story for comic fans but also presents a more accessible entry for non-fans.

Pretty good premiere episode.

I was surprised where it ended I wanted more.

pretty pathetic though the junior society consist of pretty much the losers club that courtney just met . how exactly are they suppose to oppose seasoned supervillains.

I'm not normally fond of fake adult actors subbing for actual teens, but Brec Bassinger nails Courtney.

Loved the first episode. The opening scene with the Justice Society was awesome.

thought those green flames were from alan scott.who was it from though. the wizard energy was much lighter green. who grabbed dr midnight in that melee.

[Kirby101]

Really liked it. More fun than I thought it would be. Thought the stunt work and FX was pretty good. Hope they didn't blow the budget on the premier.

Based of the people there I assume the Wizard can make black hands of energy. Really don't think it could have been anyone else.

When I saw the black hand, I was expecting Shade, but he didn't show up.

I had completely forgot that even happened! That makes sense.

problem with that was we saw the wizard busy with hourman , lifting him up with his wand at the same time whoever it was grabbed midnight

[Will Evans]

Did Wildcat die? Or was he knocked unconscious when he flew out the window?

Oh wow. That was completely lost on me. So Dr. Mid-Nite 2 isn't even a doctor? I guess I didn't realize that all of these characters would be teenagers!

I was thinking the Shade -- though I don't recall if he was capable of creating shapes from shadows.

[The Darknight Detective]

Thought it was a fine first episode and looking forward to more.
