So, this last week I watched the first two episodes of CW’s new DC show Stargirl. For those who don’t know, the character it is based on is Courtney Whitmore, variously known as Stargirl and The Star Spangled Kid. In the show, they skip the first name, but mention that it was previously used by Starman. They make a few other changes, but the overall spirit of the character remains the same.
