DC Super Hero Girls is a 2015 action comedy produced by Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment. The shorts were shown as interstitials on Cartoon Network and Boomerang.

Good Qualities

  1. The show's main premise is a unique take on the typical DC animated series formula, in that many superheroes and villains who have been de-aged into teenagers attend Super Hero High to learn how to be superheroes.
  2. No true main protagonist; instead, each of the main characters is given their own moments to shine in various episodes.
  3. Good hand-drawn animation for 2015 web series standards.
  4. Great voice acting, with many actors returning from previous DC projects (Mae Whitman, Khary Payton, Tara Strong, Grey Griffin, Greg Cipes, etc.) along with new ones thrown into the mix (Anais Fairweather, Teala Dunn, Myrna Velasco, etc.)
  5. The show spawned three great movies, those being Hero of the Year, Intergalactic Games and Legends of Atlantis.
  6. Overall, the series serves as a reminder that DC shows can be light-hearted and appeal to both adults and children, especially compared to a certain other DC cartoon.

Bad Qualities

  1. Unusually for a DC show, several villains and/or anti-heroes such as Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, etc., are made straight-up heroes in this show, though this can be excused due to the show being made for younger children.
  2. Most of the episodes are too short, barely clocking in at 5 minutes.
  3. Missed opportunity: Wonder Woman and Barry Allen are shown as teen heroes rather than the show simply using Wonder Girl and Kid Flash, who could have fulfilled their roles just fine.
  4. Season 5 took a sharp decline in both animation and writing quality, likely because the writing was on the wall that the show would be replaced by its new incarnation.
  5. The final episode, "My So Called Anti-Life," while a decent way to end this continuity, ended the show on a cliffhanger that had to be resolved in its comics.
