Development

The **development** of Lauren Faust's *DC Super Hero Girls* incorporated ideas from the original series such as themes of being a superhero and a teenager and positive girl messages with ideas, themes, and characterizations from *Super Best Friends Forever*.

## Characterization

Lauren Faust mentioned that her personality as a child resembled Bumblebee's personality, and that Supergirl's anger and frustration comes from Faust's personality too.

### Diana

The relationship dynamic between Diana and her mother Hippolyta was conceived as the dynamic between Donna Troy and her mother Diana for *Super Best Friends Forever*. Babs's love for burritos was also touched upon in *SBFF* and later featured in *DCSHG* in episodes such as *Sweet Justice* and *Burrito Bucket*.

### Babs

The themes of Babs's enthusiasm towards crime-fighting, bat-gadgets, and burritos was carried over directly from *Super Best Friends Forever* shorts such as *Invisible Joy Ride* and more directly with the remake of *Time Waits for No Girl* as *The Late Batsby*.

## Design

### Kara

Supergirl's character design evolved from her design in *Super Best Friends Forever*: her hair gradually became shorter and her shape became slimmer, in addition to the general stylistic changes from *SBFF* to *DCSHG*.

### Karen

Bumblebee's prototype suit was designed by Izzy Abreu, with input from storyboard artists, Lauren Faust, and David Perez. Abreu also designed the visual style of Hal Jordan, Queen Hippolyta, and Lois Lane.

## Editing

Faust has expressed preference for longer episodes, and lamented that the episodes had to be cut to eleven minutes to fit television scheduling requirements. Faust said that every episode of *DC Super Hero Girls* has a longer, better version. One episode was four minutes too long, and Faust decided to expand it to two episodes because cutting four minutes would have not worked for the story.

Barry takes her to times in the past that she wants to change, and eventually meets up with many alternate timeline versions of himself as alternate versions of Batgirl fight over the event that led to Babs wanting to go back in time in the first place. When faced with the decision of undoing the changes in time, Barry tells Babs that she's his best friend, and whatever she decides, he'll support her.

Green Lantern corps

The **Green Lantern corps** are a space-fairing peacekeeping force in the series *DC Super Hero Girls*. They are first hinted about in the episode *Sweet Justice*when Jess tries to return her Lantern ring to Hal, but he pushes it back to her and tells her "they" chose her. Later when Jess is asked about her skills by Wonder Woman, she answers:

> "*I'm a cadet in something called the Green Lantern Corp. And... Oh, boy. Well, see, I was given this power ring by these weird aliens. They are sort of like space cops and they patrol these different sectors. You know what, the whole thing is really complicated. I can make stuff with this ring.*"
>
>
>

Babs then asks Jess, who has transformed into her Green Lantern uniform, to make various objects with her ring. Jessica uses her ring many times throughout the episode when fighting, and she produces various items to aid her. The items are translucent and glowing-green.
Jess trains with Hal and Kilowog, two other Green Lanterns, in the episode *Hate Triangle*. Kilowog complains that Jess's nonviolent methods are ineffective. He says:

> "*Your ring is only as strong as your willpower. Fear weakens your mind. It renders your ring useless.*"
>
>
>

   Sinestro has a flashback in the episode *It's Complicated* where he serves with Hal in the Green Lantern corps.

## Garth Bernstein

**Garth Bernstein**, also known as **Aqualad**, is a recurring character in the series *DC Super Hero Girls*.

## Depiction

Garth is first prominently featured in the episode *Hate Triangle* where Jessica instructs Hal to look and behave like Garth so Star Sapphire will stop being madly in love with him. Garth takes offense at this suggestion.

Garth is briefly featured in the short *Taco Tuesday* where Doris Zeul finds him stuffed in a locker and leaves him there.

Mr Chapin asks Garth "Do you even have a last name?" in the episode *Scrambled Eggs*. Garth's last name does not appear in the show credits, but the opening sequence shows his full name, Garth Bernstein, under his photo in the school yearbook.

Garth is prominently featured in the short *Go Fish*, where he uses his superpowers to try to safely deliver a pet goldfish, Goldberg, to Karen as a birthday present. When Garth trips and Goldberg flies out of the fish tank, Garth reaches his hand, and in turn the water from the fish tank turns into the shape of a hand and grabs Golberg, but it slips away. When Goldberg falls through a drain grate, Garth runs through the street and raises his arm, and water shoots up into the air from under each manhole cover Garth passes. Garth jumps onto a manhole cover and surfs a torrent of water to catch Goldberg.

Garth uses his water-manipulation powers extensively in the episode *DC Super Hero Boys*. At first he demonstrates his powers by making the contents of a water bottle float between his hands. He later tosses the water from the bottle at Supergirl, who fires at the water with her heat ray and dissipates it. When confronting Zod, Garth uses water from a fire hydrant to create a dragon-shaped torrent of water and force Zod back through the portal to the Phantom Zone.

Garth says he is "King of the Oceans" in the episode *Retreat*. Despite being able to lift himself up on a swirling water spout, he is caught off-guard and gets swallowed whole by a plant sent by Poison Ivy.

A giant hand made of water carries a car with Garth, Karen, Diana, and a driving instructor out of the ocean after Diana crashes it into the ocean while pursuing Harley Quinn in a car chase in the episode *Crash Course*.

## Quotes

"A lifetime career goal for me has always been wanting to lift up little girls. I feel like society has contempt for girls and little girl things [...] there's something contemptuous and unworthy about girl things and being a girl. [...] We live in a society where saying that something is for girls is the equivalent to saying that something is stupid, or saying that something isn't worthwhile. I think that's awful and I think that kind of attitude needs to be changed."
—Panel with John de Lancie, Lauren Faust and Tara Strong in 2012. Spoken at about 41 minutes into the panel.

You gotta listen to me girl

When you look a little closer
**Garth**: Now

You can see it's just a poseur

Let me save you with my love
I will fight, I'll be tough
And I'm never giving up on us

Can you see through all the fluff
And let me save you with my love

And I'm never giving up on us
Let me save you with my love
Can you see through all the fluff
And let me save you with my love
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[**Hal**, **Barry** and **Garth**]
Let me save you with my love
'cause our love is super strong
And his power's super-wrong
We wrote this super song
To shake you, wake you up
So snap out of it, girl
Let's save the world with your lo-o-o-o-o-ove!
[**Hal**, **Barry** and **Garth**]
Let me save you with my love (let us save you)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (let us save you)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Let me save you with my love
I will fight, I'll be tough
And I'm never giving up on us
Let me save you with my love
Can you see through all the fluff
And let me save you with my love

Metallo

**Metallo** is an antagonist in the series *DC Super Hero Girls*. He is first mentioned in the short *Kara Care*. After a shot of a building-high explosion, Wonder Woman declares that Metallo is vanquished, but Supergirl lies motionless, bruised and tattered in a glowing-green smoking crater. Batgirl says Kara's absorbed too much kryptonite from the attack. Later in the episode Kara reminds Diana "remember when you ordered me to fly into Metallo's kryptonite chest to take him out?"
Shane O'Shaughnessy

**Shane O'Shaughnessy** is a recurring character who serve as the third main antagonist in the series *DC Super Hero Girls*. He is the manager of the Burrito Bucket restaurant where Babs works as a cook and cashier in the episode *Burrito Bucket* and the short *Hamster Con Queso*. He is briefly heard in the short *Babsgirl*.

Both in the shorts and in the episode, Shane treats Babs poorly, scowling at her, yelling at her, admonishing her, and threatening to fire her. Babs on the other hand is very cheerful and respectful to Shane, and heedful to Shane's instructions. Shane tasks Babs with making 100 burrito buckets in the episode *Burrito Bucket*, and when Babs only delivers 99, he gleefully fires her. Shane dryly and irritably agrees to hire her back after she foils a robbery at the Burrito Bucket.

Shane appears in the comic *Weird Science* chapter 11, where once again he menaces Babs.

transcript

***Beasts in Show*** is the 18th episode of the first season of the series *DC Super Hero Girls*. The episode was released online on July 26, 2019 on the Cartoon Network website, and first aired on August 1, 2019. The episode features Babs and Kara entering their respective dogs Ace and Krypto into a dog show.

The episode bears similarities to the episode *The Dark Hound Strikes!* from the series *Krypto the Superdog*, where Krypto and Ace fight a pair of hyenas at a dog show.

## Production

Poses for Ace and Krypto were designed by Claire Tran. The musical segment playing during the Pomeranian dance and the hyena attack is titled *Pomeranian Pomp*.

## Plot summary

The episode begins with Ace tackling Kara after she picks up a tennis ball. Babs introduces him to Kara and says he's the greatest dog in the universe. Kara disagrees and says her old dog back in Smallville is the greatest dog in the universe. She whistles, and Krypto crashes through a brick wall and jumps to her. Babs and Kara argue whose dog is better, and say there's only one way to settle the issue.

The scene cuts to black and fades into the Schuster Arena where an announcer is announcing the "44th annual Metropolis Kennel Club dog show". The show starts with an obedience trial, in which Ace impresses the announcer while Krypto fails to meet "MKC standards". The dogs continue to take various tests, until the dog show is disrupted by two hyenas that ran away from Harley Quinn. Ace and Krypto fight off the hyenas together, and Krypto throws them out of the dog show.

The announcer announces that the winner is "Waffles the Pomeranian", and Kara and Babs complain that even each other's dog is better than that. They smile at each other and the shot cuts to Pelham Park where Kara and Babs agree both dogs are good boys, and the episode ends with Kara and Babs shouting "bad boys" at the dogs while they chase after a cat.
Book of Eternity

The **Book of Eternity** is a book depicted in the episode *Ally Cat* of the series *DC Super Hero Girls*.

The episode begins with Lex Luthor excavating underneath Stonehenge. A stone sarcophagus is pried open, which has the remains of a man clutching a book inside it. Lex rips the book out of the man's hands, which turn to ash. Lex blows the dust off the cover of the book, and it glows gold.

The girls are watching Lex on television giving an interview, showing the book to the camera. Zee spits out her drink and distressedly tells the other girls that Lex found the Book of Eternity. She explains the Great Wizard Merlin wrote it "over fifteen hundred years ago. It gives whoever holds it the power to know, and thereby control, the future. The ancients buried it under Stonehenge to keep it out of the hands of mortals. Nobody should have that book!" She says Lex can't keep it, because it's too dangerous. Babs suggests sneaking into LexCorp and taking the book, but her father takes her to visit her grandmother in Gotham, so she can't plan and execute the heist. Zee asks if anyone knows someone else who could pull off the heist, and Kara says she might know someone. They recruit Catwoman.

The heist is almost barely successful, but the girls find Lex already is in his secret office with the Book of Eternity. He says the book said the girls will ask Catwoman to rob him, so he got to her first and made her a better offer. Lex has captured Superman and the Super Hero Boys. The girls attack Lex but he evades all their attacks and traps them.

Lex tells his plan to Catwoman and says he already knows it works. He reads the book and tells Catwoman the exact words she's going to say, which she does. Despite Lex's assertion, Catwoman sneaks back into his secret office and frees the Super Hero Girls. The girls stop the meteor that was supposed to hit Earth according to Lex's plan. He looks at the book and the contents changes, saying "somebody altered the future, but... but that's impossible!" Catwoman tells him "that's not strictly true." She shows him she's torn a page out of his book, and he couldn't see the part of the story where she betrayed him. Catwoman snaps the Book of Eternity out of Lex's hands, and then the Super Hero Girls make Catwoman hand over the Book of Eternity to them.

# ***DC Super Hero Girls*** by Lauren Faust

*DC Super Hero Girls* by Lauren Faust is a television cartoon series and franchise about a team of teenage superheroes titled the Super Hero Girls.

Metropolis pier

The **Metropolis pier** is a location featured in the series *DC Super Hero Girls*. The pier is first featured in the episode *Sweet Justice*, where the *Super Hero Girls* go to give Diana "normal teenager lessons" at the pier fairgrounds. After having fun at the pier, they go to the nearby Sweet Justice cafe. The shop, and subsequently the pier, are destroyed by the demolition robots at the command of Lena Luthor.

The pier is featured again in the short *Prize Fighter* where Babs, Kara, and Diana go to the arcade, and in the episode *Illusions of Grandeur* where Zee tries to win over crowds with her magic.

Bizarro

**Bizarro** is a character introduced the episode *The Good the Bad and the Bizarre* of the series *DC Super Hero Girls*. Bizarro introduces herself to Supergirl as follows: "Me am Bizarro. Me going to mess up whole world and Ugly Me no can stop me!" Supergirl calls Clark Kent on her phone and he says "Bizarro's a nemesis I face pretty often. He's basically a weird-looking version of me," and "There's not much to Bizarros. They're big weird monsters that look like us and destroy things for no reason."

Kara says that Bizarro got her expelled from Smallville High and she's making everyone hate Supergirl all over the world.

Clark mentions that Bizarro is the opposite of Supergirl, so Batgirl wonders, "If Bizarro's the opposite of you, why isn't she super weak? And how come she can fly?" Batgirl draws comparisons between Supergirl and Bizarro.

When Supergirl can't defeat Bizarro, she tries a "Super Flare" which she says "uses all the solar energy in my cells, concentrating all my Kryptonian strength into one powerful blast. But when it's done, I'll be left powerless for who knows how long." Kara uses the blast on Bizarro, which uses a similar blast back against her, and both of them end up powerless. Batgirl arrests Bizarro, who starts sobbing. Bizarro says she "wants to be great villain" but Bizarro Superman keeps getting all the glory. Kara is touched by Bizarro's story and hugs her. The scene cuts to a headline on the Daily Planet newspaper proclaiming "Supergirl saves city from terryfying new supervillain Bizarro Supergirl". The episode ends with Bizarro happily telling Kara that their "dumb cousins" are not on the front page, and the two eat ice-cream together at the Sweet Justice cafe.

Bizarro is featured briefly in the episode *Am Batgirl* part 2 as a candidate for replacing Batgirl in the Super Hero Girls team. Bizarro is featured prominently in the episode *Double Danvers* where Kara makes a deal with Bizarro to use her as a doppleganger so Bizarro takes her place at her father's business meeting. Kara puts a necklace on Bizarro which her father gave her, and it soon turns out that it has a rage-inducing effect on Bizarro. Superman tells Supergirl in a phonecall that periwinkle kryptonite induces rage in Bizarro. Kara manages to take off the necklace and throws it into the distance. Fulfilling her part of the deal, Kara takes Bizarro to an Up Past 8 concert.
