Stargirl (Season 3)

The upcoming third season of the hit DC Comics-based series Stargirl.
==Plot==
The third season will borrow heavily from Geoff Johns' run in early 2000s. It will introduce several new characters, starting from Captain Marvel/Billy Batson and his family. They will be based on the Pre-New 52 versions therefore Billy's superhero identity is called Captain Marvel, Mary is his twin sister and her superhero identity is called Mary Marvel and Billy's best friend and Mary's love interest Freddy Freeman turns into King Marvel (an homage to Elvis Presley based on the Kingdom Come version of the character). We shall also meet Shazam, the wizard who gave them their powers, and their arch-enemies Black Adam, Kull and Neron.
Billy and Courtney will fall in love and get engaged by mid-season. They will become one of the most popular Knightverse couples among viewers (especially on social medias and forums) due to their many romantical moments and they will stay together until the end of the series. Courtney will discover Billy's true identity by the 5th episode (the revelation will be the cliffhanger ending scene). In the 6th episode, the two exchange their first kiss. In the 7th episode, Billy will confess his love to Courtney while they are on a date at the zoo, in front of the tiger's enclosure. Captain Marvel will join the Justice Society and the two will have to keep their relationship a secret while on duty but, as their teammates start to notice, in order to explain Billy will be forced to tell his secret identity to the others. Atom Smasher, also in love with Courtney, will serve as Billy's rival and the two will dislike each other from the beginning. They will even fight in an episode. But Cortney will have no doubts about which one she loves and that's Billy. Billy will also introduce Courtney to his family (both Mary and Freddy will get along very well with her) and even the wizard Shazam (they will visit the Rock of Eternity together in the 6th episode). Rick and Yolanda will also start to show developing feelings for each other as well as Jakeem and Beth albeit they will confess and get engaged only in the next season.
The series will also introduce additional Justice Society members and superheroes: Doctor Fate, Cyclone, Atom Smasher, Hawkman and Hawkgirl. Much like other versions of the characters, Hawkman and Hawkgirl have been cursed in their first life as ancient egyptians by the wizard Hath-Set so every time they die they will reincarnate, find each other and love each other only to be doomed to die separately. So after their deaths by the hand of Eclipso, the two were reborn as alien cops from the planet Thanagar. After regaining their memories, they came back to Earth to help what remains of their former JSA friends but also to find their son from their previous lifetime, Hector Hall, who has gone missing after their deaths.
The 8th episode will feature the atlantean superhero Aquaman and his wife Mera. The plot will be similar to Smallville as it revolves around Dr Shito's crew of scientists capturing Aquaman (with the help of King Shark, who in this universe is portrayed as a mutant created by an experiment of them) and Mera asking for Stargirl and the Justice Society's help to rescue him. There's also a scene similar to Smallville where Mera and Stargirl first meet at the aquarium and Mera shamelessly changes in front of Courtney. After discovering where he is imprisoned, Stargirl, Wildcat, Hourman, Dr. Mid-Nite and Mera will successfully free Aquaman who is reunited with his beloved.
The lead villain of the season will be the demon Neron, who will also disguise himself through the season as one of the characters' main friends in order to deceive them. Neron's plan is to literally bring hell on earth by unleashing his horde of demons on Blue Valley. He will succeed thanks to the actions of the characters (manipulated by him) in the penultimate episode. The last episode will be dedicated to the Justice Society together trying to stop Neron's army and close the gates of hell definitely. Ultimately, Neron is defeated thanks to the Key of Solomon, an ancient book filled with holy rituals used to defeat evil in possession of Doctor Fate. While the rest of the team restrain Neron, Stargirl manages to perform the ritual, causing all the demons to be sucked back into hell in a form of a whirlwind. Caught in the rage of his defeat, Neron leaves himself open to be impaled by Stargirl from behind. Captain Marvel then punches him to the portal and he is decapitated by Hawkgirl's axe as he flies through, killing him and ending the invasion.
Black Adam will be the villain of a two-episodes story arc (the one in which Courtney discover Billy's true identity) and he is revealed to have been a member of the Justice Society in the past before becoming evil; he's also responsable for the death of Billy and Mary's parents. Kull will appear in the first episode only. We shall also see again the Injustice Unlimited (who will grow in numbers and strenght). Brainwave will be revealed to be still alive, having used his mental power to transfer his mind in a clone of him created by Dr Shito's crew. Similarly the scientists will bring back to life The Wizard thanks to the experiments conducted on his body combined with his magical properties (and a bit of Neron's help albeit unknown to them). Brainwave will also make a deal with Neron in order to bring his son back to life and sided with him. 
The Marvel Family will appear from the first episode and become recurring characters through the series. Cyclone will appear in the third episode and also becomes a recurring character. Hawkman and Hawkgirl will appear in mid-season. Kent Nelson will appear as early as the fourth episode but will only put the helmet on and becomes Doctor Fate in the last two episodes. Similarly to Smallville, he choose to retire because the burden of Nabu's power was too much for him to handle and it was causing him to go crazy. He disappeared at some point and everyone thought him dead, including his Justice Society comrades. Instead, he went into therapy to forget his tragic past and has now returned to work at Stargirl's school as an archeology professor. However, he will later be forced to answer the call of duty when Neron's invasion begins so he will settle his issues with Nabu and becomes Doctor Fate again.
As an easter egg, the tiger at the zoo is named Tawky Tawny as mentioned by Billy when Courtney confesses that she shares his feelings. "She loves me! She loves me back! Did you hear that? She loves me! Isn't that wonderful Mr. Tawny?". There is also a signboard on the tiger's enclosure with the name "Tawky Tawny".
The last scene of the final episode will show Todd James Rice, aka Obsidian, the long lost brother of Jennie-Lynn Scott, talking with his mentor and stepfather Ian Karkull anticipating their debut in the next season. A mid-credit scene will show Dr. Ito/Dragon King resumed to life thanks to his scientists and ready to haunt our heroes again.
The season will hit 3.16 avarage millions viewers.
