Comics fans their are alot of stuff aimed at boys but there really isn't anything aimed at girls well in 2015 that all changed when DC Comics announced DC Superhero Girls which is a line of products aimed at girls and one of the things that launched with this line was a still on going web show which i'm going to review for you all right now.
The premise of the show is well known DC characters both male and female attend Superhero High a school designed to train young superheroes. Yeah this show has no real plot to speak of and what happens in one episode won't effect the next episode unless it's a multi-part episode which was rare for the first three seasons but for some reason the fourth season is full to the brim with them.
The series has a pretty awesome voice cast and since the cast list is so huge i'm not going to name every single actor so we have Grey Griffin as Wonder Woman , Giganta , Silver St. Cloud , Korugarian and Platinum , Anais Fairweather as Supergirl , Mae Whitman as Barbara Gordon / Batgirl and Speed Queen , Tara Strong as Harley Quinn , Poison Ivy and Raven and Hynden Walch as Starfire and Blackfire.
As I said before the cast list for this series is freaking huge and alot of them are reprising roles from other shows but tho for a web series I thought that the acting wasn't that bad which given the talent mentioned shouldn't really come as a surprise but like I said this is a web show and the acting isn't always great in those.
This web series has been a huge hit with other 300,000 subscribers on Youtube and goodness knows how many people who go on the website but tho with the brand being a hit it's also spawned several direct to DVD films and has an upcoming TV series coming up on Cartoon Network.
The animation for the series is of course done by Warner Bros Animation and lets just say that I hope the animation in the TV series is better because if not this show is going to get a lot of hate from people because the animation isn't exactly what one would call good in this web series don't get me wrong it's fine for a three minuet short but it can be pretty bad.
Speaking of bad half of the faculty and some of the students of Superhero High are Super villains which to me makes no sense at all Harley in this show isn't a villain she's a hero and the same goes for Poison Ivy and Killer Frost among others and all of these characters aren't heroes their freaking villains and the only character who acts like a villain is Cheetah.
Like I said before this is a show for little girls so it's not shocking to see that the main cast of characters are all women but what is shocking is that for some unknown reason Wonder Woman is a student at the school despite the fact she's older then everyone there combined and the fact it would have made more sense for her to be the principal of the school rather then Amanda Waller.
Since this is a kids show that means that there has to be a lesson learned during almost every episode and the lessons are about as generic as you can get like for example having fun with your friends is the most important thing yeah if you've seen any episode of any kids show ever you know what kinds of lessons will be learnt but tho with all of that said they do a good job of working these lessons into the stories.
The show does have a surprising amount of action in it and i'm shocked by that because each episode is only around five minuets in length but tho the action is very generic and it does become boring after a while I shouldn't be bored by an action scene I should be on the edge of my seat but here i'm almost falling asleep.
I will give the show this it does have a pretty catchy theme song and that song for me is the best part of the series if a show has a dull opening I usually skip it unless there's some easter eggs to be found but here I watch it just for the song that's how good it is.
Overall this is a pretty good way to get young girls into comics but at the same time it's not also giving us the true version of most of it's characters I just hope that Lauren Faust can do a better job with the TV series the web series gets a 5 out of 10 from me.
