-- I'm guessing the green flames is just after-effects of some battle that involved GL.
-- What costume is Joel McHale wearing? I know it's a DC character, but not Starman red/green.

Meh. Stargirl has already shown up several times in other Arrowverse shows so why create yet another new one.
And is there really a clamor for Stargirl?
Not sure if a TV budget could do the effects but at this point I'd rather they just go with what they've teased multiple times and make Diggle a Green Lantern since his name is John and his stepdad's last name is Stewart. The movie side doesn't seem to be interested in doing GL again so bring it to the Arrowverse.
This seems to be a more in-depth take then Stargirl on Smallville or Legends (where they really didn't do much with her).
I think she has a lot of potential. It's an obvious passion project for Geoff Johns (understandably given who he based Courtney on).And is there really a clamor for Stargirl?

99.9% of tv shows and movies are made without fans clamoring for them.(aside from sequels and that doesn't always turn out so well) It's interesting when fans seem to think creative people in the industry exist to please their desires, but they're the ones who plant those desires in the first place usually before audiences know what they want until they're shown.

I want to be positive about this series, but there's part of me that isn't happy. James Robinson worked in concert with Geoff Johns when these comic books came out--and it was thanks to Robinson that Courtney got the staff from Jack Knight, she even got the Stargirl title (after being Star-Spangled Kid) due to Robinson's Starman. There have been efforts to bring Jack Knight to the screen, but so far nothing yet--however, if Stargirl has all his stuff, it seems less likely there will ever be a live action Jack Knight. Hopefully James is getting some kind of compensation--but I feel like he's been robbed.

I am thrilled about this, but I kind of wish Starman would have gotten a series first.

I can understand them not wanting to overly complicate the hero's backstory especially since she's a legacy. Hopefully, if the show continues we'll see some more past Starmen, similar to how Robinson found a way to connect them all. It'd be funny is they had Jack as the "Starman of the 90s."
