DC Super Hero Girls

Love the show for the 2 D animation and they look like real characters and not abstract art... solid stories and cool animation... Just wish that the 2015 series was available to buy.... This one is far better then the 2019 reboot...

My kids love this show and I do too! I understand it's for kids and the stories aren't deep. But it's still cool to see such a WIDE variety of characters from the lore. They pull characters from everywhere and it's really cool! My kids are boys, but this show is so good to inspire young girls and friendship. Also, I like this animation style better than the other version of this show.

Can't figure out why, in the theme song, they say "We're D.C. Superhero girls!"... I mean... does Harry Potter ever say: "I'm a WB wizard!", or Punisher: "I'm a Netflix vigilante!"? No. No they did not. Because a character referencing the fact that they're actually just a character is the antithesis of the objective of cinematic storytelling, is jarring, & just plain weird.

I've never had a problem with the idea of kid centric superhero since most of them are presented in a way that kids can understand and relate to while still having an appeal to everyone, like with DC Superhero Girls. The show centers on various DC Comics characters attending Super Hero High, which is run by Amanda Waller. The show focuses on seven main characters: Wonder Woman (Grey DeLisle Griffin), Super Girl (Anais Fairweather), Bat Girl (Mae Whitman), Bumblebee (Teala Dunn), Harley Quinn (Tara Strong), Poison Ivy (Tara Strong), and Katana (Stephanie Sheh). To end this review on a positive note, I want to get the flaws out of the way.

1. Some of the season 1 shorts (not counting the hero of the month ones) were a bit too short. Thankfully, it's more consistent in season 2, with the shorts regularly being 2.5 minutes long, the hero of the month shorts are 1.5 minutes, and the special ones are 3.5-4 minutes long.

2. Katana is underutilized, even in season 2, but is still likable.

Now for the positives.

1. The humor is quite clever due to its wide appeal.

2. The characters feel like themselves. They're just in comedic situations. Harley and Ivy being heroes doesn't bother me since this show is its own continuity and they still have some things in common with their comic counterparts. Plus, even with Katana underutilized, everyone gets a chance to shine.

3. The core message of the series is about the different ways everyone can be a hero, which is a good message for kids and adults.

4. The show has shown remarkable improvements over the past few months, essentially listening to the critics and trying to fix its mistakes, unlike say Teen Titans Go.

The show is flawed, but still well written. Because of the improvements, I give it a perfect score.

Quick side note, terrible shows can't always just be justified with "it's a kids show". Kids deserve quality too.

The show focuses on short adventures from perspective of female superheros. That's pretty much it.

I don't mind that there is a female focus, what really bugs me though is that they are teenagers and their adventures are just average teenage girl things disguised with the superhero genre.

Like there is an episode about batgirl trying to get her liscense, I won't spoil it but think of the most unoriginal ending and the first one that comes to mind is pretty much what happens.

The people behind this obviously had no creative stories so they disguised their unoriginal material with superheros so kids won't get bored straight away.

The run time is short though so it won't make you suffer for too long but the short run time makes it more pointless to watch.

If you want to entertain your (very) young kids with just a simple then this isn't the worst option but it will become boring after a little while so I reccomend switiching over to something better
