Stargirl hasn't been generating a huge amount of buzz online, but something many fans are excited to see is a new take on the Justice Society of America. The team's presence in the show was teased at the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths, and after previously appearing in Smallville and Legends of Tomorrow, they're no strangers to the small screen.
Now, thanks to Stargirl costume designer Laura Jean Shannon, we have a new look at the "Golden Era" version of Doctor Mid-Nite. There's no sign of his owl companion, but we're guessing that will be added down the line with visual effects.
In the comics, the character is a medical doctor who lost his sight, but can now can see spectrums of light in total darkness. He works with the JSA to train the heroes of tomorrow, as well as to use his medical knowledge for unusual cases, so seeing what he brings to the table here should be fun.
In the DC Universe/The CW series, he will be played by The Haunting of Hill House star Henry Tomas, and the trailer pointed to his protégé Beth Chapel inheriting the mantle in the present day.
Stargirl recently got hit by a slight delay, but it's now set to premiere on Monday, May 18th on DC Universe, and on Tuesday, May 19th on The CW.
