DC Super Hero Girls

Teenage life meets superhero duty in this animated series where Diana, Kara and Barbara trade the usual high school stresses for a curriculum full of super-powered problems. The show follows these well known heroes as everyday students juggling classes, friendships, family expectations and after-school crises, while trying to keep their secret identities intact. Episodes mix schoolyard drama with action, as the girls and their friends face classmates who happen to be super-villains, learn to work as a team, and deal with the awkward, funny and sincere moments that come when growing up with extraordinary abilities.

The 2019 series was created by Lauren Faust and Jose Delbo, with Noëlle Raffaele directing episodes. It revives the DC Super Hero Girls concept for a younger TV audience and features notable voice talent including Grey DeLisle, Nicole Sullivan, Kimberly Brooks, Tara Strong and Myrna Velasco.

Critics and viewers have tended to respond positively, reflected in an average user rating near 7.9 out of 10 from hundreds of votes. Praise often centers on the show’s humor, energetic action and accessible take on iconic characters, while some reviews note that episodes aim squarely at kids and families rather than older comic fans.

A recurring strength is how the series treats common teen themes through a superhero lens, like responsibility, friendship, identity and learning to trust others. Episodes balance short, punchy plots with character moments, and the tone moves from playful to earnest without getting heavy. The show leans into teamwork and problem solving, and it often rewards characters for small moral choices rather than dramatic sacrifices.

Among fans and younger viewers the series helped normalize girl-led superhero stories on television and encouraged creative engagement with DC characters in a lighter register. It’s been a go-to introduction for kids curious about Wonder Woman, Supergirl and Batgirl, and it spawned conversations online and in classrooms about role models, teamwork and confidence more than industry awards.
