DC Super Hero Girls

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

As a mom, i think it is a nice show for the kids. I appreciate the modest outfit choices of the characters. Many kid shows nowadays are sexualizing the cartoon characters but this show is modest compared to most. It reminds me of a toned down Monster high.

I love dc universe animated series and movies. Many are not appropriate for my younger kids and it's unfair. I want to introduce them to the superhero world and this is a great show to start. It's obvious the writer's and artist know and respect the DC universe. Each character adds a certain charm to the show and each can help teach your kids about the dc character. Many references to the characters back story are included and i love that, as a fan.

This show is nothing like the classic animated batman shows you watched on WB. It's far less violent and the dialogue and humor is obviously less dark. There's plenty of lessons, loyal friendships, kind heartedness, and morals in each story, it's not completely mindless. It's a cute show and I don't think it's fair to compare it to an adult animated movie. It's not aimed at adults. I wouldn't watch it alone for fun as i do with Justice League or Batman animated series but give it a break. I turn it on for the kids as I'm doing laundry in the same room and i can tolerate it quite well.

SHow is really good, with the whole having good values and such isn't bad. I have 2 4 year old's who love the show. Which is the target demographic.

I really want to address the crazies who are bashing the show on 2 particular points.

"The source material that the show is based on is too inappropriate" is just nuts :) The characters aren't the same, its a whole new universe, deal with it. Simply just does expose them to the source material, it's our job as parents to expose them the those things or not. So an "Assassin" is in the actual show... she isn't in the show, and that's all that matters.

"It's not canon" ... chill, so what if wonder woman's not in the same class as superman, and batman. That needed to be a thing, but seriously chill out. I'm all about thing being canon, but a kids show is just that, for kids. What a great way to introduce kids/girls to comics. I watch/read all kinds of comics and she knows who I'm reading about and asks me about it. "Does flash know Supergirl?" it's awesome to talk superheroes with my kids.

PS also all the people upset about teen titans go about the same thing.... It's not the same show as the canceled one, and not for you.

It's for little kids.

That's really all the review you need.

My four year old watches it, and loves it. And, it is appropriate for her age level - it has nothing for me to be concerned about her seeing.

Some adults have offered unfavourable reviews, but, they are being ridiculous, as it is obviously not to be judged on whether or not adults enjoy the show; children are it's target audience.

Your kid will like it, and that's all that matters.

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.
