Stargirl DC Fandome News
9/12/2020 10:41 am
After a short technical glitch, the Stargirl panel took off. With Amy Smart, Geoff Johns, Brec Bassinger, Yvette Monreal, Cameron Gellman, Anjelika Washington all on the panel they were joined by Lea Thompson (who directed episode 7) and moderated the panel. The cast all wore cute sunglasses to pretend to be Dr. Midnite while we all learned more about the actors and producer. Geoff Johns shared that Barbara was named after his real mom Barbara. Brec Bassinger noted how she was born in May 1999 and that was the year and month that Stargirl debuted.
After getting to know everyone a bit better, we revisted the final fights in the last episode. Cameron told how difficult it was to fight Solomon Grundy. In real life, it was just a big green pickle pillow with a sad face on it. Speaking of Gundy, Geoff took a moment to note that we've not seen the last of him! Expect him to return in season 2! Geoff also gave some hints to season 2, Eclipso reveal is a very big deal for season 2 and we've not seen the last of Hootie the owl!
The cast did take time to thank Geoff Johns for his amaazing writing and even asked him to make a cameo in the next season, but Geoff noted that he is just so happy he gets to work with all of them and everything else is just gravy! We can't wait for more Stargirl now on The CW!

Stargirl Season 1 Finale Recap
8/9/2020 12:28 pm
It's been called the best superhero show on television period! Stargirl has blasted incredible summertime ratings, held captive two network audiences and brought to life a modern day story of Golden Age superheroes all while paying high honor to Geoff Johns' late sister! This has been an incredible journey that we are so excited to have shared with you, but now it's time for us to put a bow on season 1. Fear not though, with a season 2 already confirmed for The CW, this isn't goodbye, just see you soon! Here's what stood out to us:
- Three Minutes Ago: Fiddler's son, the Tuba Turd, smacked down the bully that's been bothering him. Just then, Project New America rises out from underneath the high school football field! The adults are frozen in place under Brainwave's control. STRIPE under Brainwave's control begins to fight Startgirl. Courtney is able to reach Pat by calling herself Pat's daughter. Dr. Midnite realizes that the tunnels have signal blockers. She starts to hack the Gambler's money to pull his attention away allowing her to turn the tunnel blockers back on. This frees Sir Justin and Pat.
- JSA vs ISA: The JSA and ISA meet in the Dragon King's lair. They all begin pairing off when Shiv's cage is opened. She ends up killing her own father for locking her up. The JSA end up switching opponents and are able to defeat the ISA but Solomon Grundy is freed and STRIPE and Hourman take him on. Stargirl is ambushed by Shiv so only Wildcat can make it to the machine. Brainwave loops his signal to reprogram America and leaves to go help kill the JSA. He appears to Wildcat as Henry King Jr. but makes a mistake by saying "where are your friends". This makes Wildcat realize it was really Brainwave in her head and she cuts his throat. Brainwave was too dangerous to live.
- Breaking the Machine: Stargirl blasts Shiv and heads to join Wildcat. STRIPE gets torn apart by Grundy but Hourman is there to save Pat. Stargirl uses the staff to bring down the radar dishes saving all the adults. Jordan, however, finds Dr Midnite and freezes her goggles killing Chuck. He blasts Beth and takes off with Barbara, Hourman holds off Grundy while Wildcat, Pat and Courtney head to Barbara's aid. Jordan takes Barbara to the top of the tower in Blue Valley and shows her what he built. He brought back Blue Valley. Jordan pleads for Barbara to understand his point of view but with her rejecting him, he says he's going to kill them all. Pat appears to distract Jordan from throwing Barbara off the roof. Jordan asks how is Pat going to stop him and he says "with their daughter" as Courtney blasts him.
- Grundy is Spared: Hourman's hate for Grundy gives him the upper hand but when Grundy shows he is just acting out of nature, Hourman realizes he is just some dumb animal. Hourman let's go of his anger and tells Grundy to run away. The beast is spared and Hourman has closure. Back on the tower, Icicle, Stargirl and Barbara are knocked off and start to fall. Pat catches Barbara and Wildcat jumps to save Courtney. Icicle lands in the street just as Mike hits him with the truck shattering him into pieces!
- Victory: The JSA sit in the stadium of the High School looking and noting how it looks like nothing happened. Yolanda reflects on killing Brainwave and Beth mourns Chuck but Courtney and Rick are there to console them. Sir Justin is going to head out to find his fellow heroes he lost. Pat notes that there will be other dragons to slay and Justin is happy to remember he has purpose. The JSA then send him off.
In the final wrap up moments, we see Shade return to the ISA headquarters. Shiv looks through old ISA artifacts and finds a prison holding Eclipso. We cut to six weeks later. The JSA are all celebrating Christmas together at the Whitmore house. Courtney gives Pat the gift she's been holding for her dad since the first episode. It's a "World's Greatest Dad" mug like Barbara has (mom). The Whitmores and Dugans have never been more of a family and with her JSA friends with her, the future is looking bright. The staff visits Courtney's room wanting to go for a play flight. We close with Courtney patroling Blue Valley as Stargirl with STRIPE at her side! The final scene we are back in California. We see someone who looks very much like Courtney's real dad visiting an old apartment of Pat's. Turns out he is actually Sylvester Pemberton, the real Starman!

Wow, here we are! It's been such a fun and sometimes dark journey finding and growing the new JSA and hunting down the ISA in Blue Valley. After last night, we've left the JSA in a very difficult position. All adults across most of America are now under the control of Brainwave. That includes Pat, Barbara and Sir Justin! With Pat being under Brainwave's control, he now has control of STRIPE and has turned the mountainous robot on Courtney! Will the JSA be able to stop Brainwave and his reprogramming before the ISA kills off 25 million adults? Will Pat be able to overcome Brainwave's control and stop attacking Stargirl? We'll have to wait until next week but for now, check out the trailer for the season 1 finale of Stargirl below:

Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. Part 1 Recap
8/2/2020 10:15 am
We are coming to the end of this incredible journey that Geoff Johns has taken us on. Only two episodes remain of Stargirl. One of the things we've seen consistently is that any time in this series there is a part 1 and part 2, the episodes marry together like one full story. Today we are getting the first part of what will certainly take two episodes worth of time to cover. Will Brainwave be successful in killing the Whitmores or the Dugans? What will the master plan of the ISA be and can the JSA figure it out before it's too late? Can Rick decode his father's journal in time to unlock whatever secrets lay in wait? Let's start getting to the bottom of these questions, here's what stood out to us:
- 11:35:15: Almost all of middle America is projected to be covered by Brainwave's mind. The goal is to reprogram the minds of Americans to think like them. Get them to fight for the ISA, as they will have to do to secede from the union. Courtney and Barbara prep to leave the house. Pat and Mike head to the Pit Stop to get STRIPE. Pat is going to let Mike know what is going on but Mike isn't very receptive to it. Mike walks off in anger but Sportsmaster arrives to kill Pat. Meanwhile at the Whitmore home, Tigress arrives to kill Barbara and Courtney. Courtney is able to get the upper hand and blast Tigress away to a defeat. Barbara stands in awe of her daughter's ability. Pat is on the ropes with Sportsmaster but Mike saves his father by drilling Sportsmaster in the back. The two can escape to the cabin.
- The Cabin: Word of Sportsmaster and Tigress's failures reach Icicle. He calls in The Fiddler to help assist them. In Principal Bowen's office, Bowen encourages her son to fight back against a bully. The Dugans and Whitmores arrive at an undisclosed cabin location where the rest of the JSA is waiting. Sir Justin also arrives bringing a KFC feast! Dragon King invites Brainwave to the central core of his machine. They have to test the device ahead of the main event. There is a chance the device could kill Brainwave but he is steadfast in his convictions. The test goes well and Brainwave could hear millions of voices.
- Rex's Journal: The secrets in Rex Tyler's journal may be the key to stopping the ISA. Sir Justin offers encouragement to Rick to solve the equation. Mike wonders if he found the staff before Courtney if it would have worked for him. Courtney allows Mike to try the staff but it doesn't light up for him. Mike wants to help but with no powers and no building knowledge there isn't much he can do. Anya Bowin arrives to help Tigress and Sportsmaster to kill the JSA. She'll play her fiddle and immobilize them while Tigress and Sportsmaster kill them. Bowin takes it too far however when she calls them bad parents and Tigress kills Bowin.
- Plan Revealed: Rick and Pat talk about the journal. They discover that the secret code was the year of the Mustang he loved so much, 1966! The JSA now has a map of all the tunnels below Blue Valley. They find out the machine they are building is to allow Brainwave to connect to many millions. Using the map, the JSA comes up with an attack plan. STRIPE and Stargirl will go in from the river. Beth and Barbara will go to The American Dream to monitor the electricity output and Wildcat, Shining Knight and Hourman will head through the tunnel they already know.
- 35 Minutes: Beth is able to discover the ISA's plan! It turns out they want to force people to fight Global Warming, erase racism, embrace solar and wind power, basically all good stuff. The JSA wonders if they are on the right side? They then discover that 25% of the people Brainwave reaches will fight too hard against the programming and then they will die. Basically the ISA will kill 25 million people in the reprogramming. Just then the Gambler hacks into Beth's hack. They find out that the brainwave attack will only effect adults. Additionally, the broadcast will start at the 30 minute mark, the countdown is only there to show when the reprogramming is completed. All the adults are frozen under Brainwave's control. Now controlling STRIPE, Brainwave turns Pat against Courtney and we cut to black!
Only one more episode to go! We are so excited! Be sure to follow us on Twitter, we are going to do a Stargirl prize giveaway soon! Stay tuned!
