CoverStory By Jay Bobbin Television has proven it always has room for another DC Comics char- acter, and "DC's Stargirl" is the latest. Prolific executive pro- ducer Greg Berlanti's new series debuts on the DC Universe streaming service Monday, May 18, then also premieres Tuesday, May 19, on The CW (which will remain the weekly pattern for each episode). Introduced to viewers briefly in the recent "Crisis on Infinite Earths" crossover event, Stargirl is the alias of angsty teen Courtney Whitmore (played by mul - tiple-Nickelodeon-show alum Brec Bassinger), who resents her stepfa- ther (Luke Wilson) — until she discovers he was the sidekick of the late su- perhero Starman, whose magical staff gives her powers she uses to lead a new Justice Society of America against evil. "I had no idea what I was getting into," the pleasant Bassinger laughs of landing the title part. "When I met with show- runner Geoff Johns for the first time and he explained who he was thinking of for some of the other roles, I was like, 'Oh, Brec, this is gonna be big. This is gon- na be more than you've ever done before.' And there are a lot of expecta- tions with that." With Amy Smart also starring as Courtney's mother, "DC's Stargirl" is based on a comic book Johns co-created (with Lee Moder), modeling the main character on his late sister. "He is one of the greatest people I've ever met," Bassinger maintains, "and this does mean a lot to him. I want to do good for the show, but mainly, I want to do good for him." 'DC's Stargirl' stakes her claim on The CW and DC Universe The identity of the featured celebrity is found within the answers in the puzzle.
