If you're a DC Universe fan then you've probably heard the news today that Swamp Thing, another DC Universe live-action original show, had their thirteen episode season one order cut to just ten episodes. This has caused a series of articles to come out with the same theme; the sky is falling at DC Universe. That certainly isn't our read on the events today. Early adopters of the new streaming service may remember that Titans, the lead-off show for the streaming service, also reduced their original order down to ten episodes. The reason for this was so they could build up a bigger and even better season two. That seems to be the case with the addition of Superboy and Krypto coming to the show.

Early this spring, we reported that Stargirl's debut was pushed out to Q1 2020. This also doesn't give us much worry because the show is so big and has so many A-listers that expanding the schedule for filming only allows for the show to keep their committed actors. A perfect example of this is Joel McHale, who plays Starman or Courtney Whitmore's predecessor. In addition to his role on Stargirl, he is also going to be hosting ABC's Card Sharks. Expanding the schedule allows for more opportunity to keep these beloved actors on the show.

Finally, for all those that might truly believe that Swamp Thing's reduced order is indeed a sign that the streaming service is struggling, there is still hope for Stargirl. Stargirl is a Greg Berlanti produced show. Greg and his team created the Arrowverse which is arguably the most successful group of superhero themed shows on television today! With the star-power (pun intended) behind this show and having Geoff Johns in one of the drivers' seats, it's not unreasonable at all to assume the show could be sold off to another network if DC Universe is really in trouble.

Let us be clear though, we don't see any reason to worry about Stargirl, Swamp Thing, Titans or any of the other original shows on the streaming service. At this point, our advice is to stay away from the band wagon, the sky is not falling.

Stargirl has a lot of similarities to broadcast television's Arrowverse. The show is Executive Produced by Greg Berlanti and his team. Sarah Schechter is also an Executive Producer, for those that don't know she has produced a lot of the Arrowverse shows. The director of the pilot is also the director of the Supergirl pilot. That said, this show as an x-factor that is keeping much of the details under wraps. Geoff Johns, the creator of Stargirl, and essentially the God Father to DC Comics is also Executive Producing this show. Some of his other credits include, Shazam, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman 1984, and Black Adam, just to name a few. This man not only has his hands on essentially everything DC Comics related in live action, he basically single-handedly created half the characters we love and hate (villains).

With the debut date pushed back to early 2020, there is more breathing room for the show to really grow and take on a quality that lands between broadcast television and movies. The cast is simply A-List stars and the Justice Society of America has historical comic book roots that will allow for rich stories and compelling drama! So why does the show seem like its locked down more than other shows? Put simply, it comes down to that X-factor again. This show has the potential to touch some of the very core elements of the DC Comics Universe. The Justice Society of America was the first Superhero team and pre-dates the Justice League. For our Supergirl fans, when Hank Henshaw revealed he was actually J'onn J'onzz, The Martian Manhunter, comic fans lost their minds! Stargirl seems to be doubling down on this excitement and surprise element. Casting characters as "known DC Comics characters" but not naming them is helping to build that excitement of "who could they be" or "what twists are coming our way"! Even the sets seem to be super secret. Our lead expresses this perfectly on social media:

For now, it is still early and we are scouring all the corners we can to find more information on Stargirl for you, but we are also buying in! The locked down nature of this show is building a lot of excitement and hype! It's potential looks to be bigger than even some of the DC Movies in production and being apart of the newly named "Titan-verse" the possibility for crossovers are there as well.

Wonder Con is heating up this weekend and The DC Universe came bringing some heavy hitting content! Stargirl has been filming for a while now but the content from filming has been hard to find. The show is pretty well locked down in Atlanta. That said, DC Universe was excited to share our first look at Brec Bassinger wearing the Stargirl uniform! The suit stays pretty comic book accurate and features her epic cosmic staff! In the background of the image you can see something that looks like a robot suit. Could this be S.T.R.I.P.E.? In addition to the release, Deadline.com is now reporting that the show's debut is set for early 2020 which is pushed back from the original launch date of August. Check out the image for yourself below:

With arguably the biggest A-list cast in any DC TV related show all successfully in Atlanta, production on DC Universe's Stargirl is finally underway! Disney is creating a movie of the same name (Stargirl) that follows a girl who is given powers which has led to a lot of misinformation about DC's show and the movie. To clear up some of the confusion, DC's Stargirl is filming in Atlanta not Dallas. Adding to some of the confusion, (as well as excitement) is the mystery behind many of the characters on the show being called "unnamed DC Comics characters". Characters that we know for sure include; Hourman, Starman, Stripes, Stargirl, Wildcat, Dr. Midnite, Tigress, Sportsmaster, Dragon King, Dragon King's daugther, Courtney Whitmore's step brother, mother, and Pat Dugan.

The Geoff John's led show has begun filming and some of the stars have taken to social media to share their excitement! Series lead, Brec Bassinger shared this photo on instagram of herself, Anjelika Washington and Yvette Monreal:

Additionally it looks like the young cast all got together to enjoy each other's company and an impromptu jam session broke out:

But it's not just the students of Blue Valley High celebrating the launch of production, actor Joy Osmanski (who plays Tigress) took to Twitter to share in the exciting day:

Now that the show is in production, it's only a matter of time until we get to see the heroes in their costumes! We can't wait for this show! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below and in the forum!
