Warner Bros. Animation has debuted the first trailer for
DC Super Hero Girls, a new animated series coming to Cartoon Network next month.
The new series, which is actually based on a franchise of direct-to-video movies and webisodes, aims to build character and confidence and empower girls to discover their true potential. In doing so, it takes DC's strongest female heroines and reimagines them as "not-so-typical teenagers."
The newly released trailer is filled with humor and heroics featuring the adventures of Diana (Wonder Woman), Kara (Supergirl), and Barbara (Batgirl). Along with a colorful cast of Super Hero friends, our
DC Super Hero Girls must protect the citizens of Metropolis from the "sinister school-aged Super-Villains," all the while dealing with the everyday struggles of being a teenager, like dealing with the stress of school, friends, family. Of course, with super powers and a secret identity, managing their social life becomes even more complicated.
Saving the day is super easy when you’re a Super Hero. But stopping evil in its tracks while keeping up grades and managing a social life, all before curfew? Ugh. That’s, like, super tough. DC Super Hero Girls are more than crime-fighting besties, they’re a diverse group of dedicated super-teens! Working together, they fight the battles of Metropolis and the battles of growing, up all at the same time. Always discovering new ways to control their powers and abilities, these awesome girls are quickly learning (sometimes the hard way) how to deal with the super challenges of being a teenage Super Hero. We all have the power to make a difference. Just make sure to use it for good or you’ll find yourself up against those tenacious teens, the DC Super Hero Girls.
DC Super Hero Girls premieres on Friday, March 8 at 6:00 p.m. ET/PT, with a one-hour movie special, "
Sweet Justice," that will air across all Cartoon Network platforms. New episodes in the series will air every Sunday at 4:00 p.m. ET/PT starting on March 17.
