| To prove my point |
I like to explore many different forms of media and on a whim, I checked out DC Super Hero Girls which happens to be on ours (UK) version of Netflix.
First it’s both very short, episodes are around 11 minutes, and secondly its very funny. It’s also packed with references to the comic and other classic DC show, as well as various places named after artist and writers it also had call back including the famous Batman ’66 movie line “Somedays you just can’t get rid of a bomb.”
So you are saying why mention this on a Power Girl blog, apart from it’s good and you should watch it obviously. Well whilst the Kara in the show is Supergirl, and dressed much like 90’s Superboy, she’s got a brusk personality very much like Power Girl. And this was my thought from the very first episode, and I did wander if it was deliberate or just a need to fill out the six (wo)man band.
And wouldn’t you know it the series actually addresses it itself, in an episode where Kara takes on (briefly) the mantle of Power Girl including her famous costume (as you can see).
Now the vagueries of release schedules and permissions mean I’ve not actually seen the episode, and only found out whilst browsing the episode synopsis, but I’m sure I’ll enjoy the episode once I get to view the episode.
