DC Universe’s Stargirl Audition Tapes Tease the Justice Society

Although the Stargirl live-action series was announced only last month, there are already indications that corner of the DC Universe streaming service will be jam-packed with superheroes. Newly surfaced audition videos refer to such DC superheroes as Doctor Mid-Nite and Hourman, both members of the Justice Society of America.

In two of the three videos, the young actors read with someone off-camera standing in for Stripesy, the costumed identity used by Pat Dugan when he was the adult sidekick of the teen hero Star-Spangled Kid. He later developed a powered suit of armor, and adopting the alias S.T.R.I.P.E. (Special Tactics Robotic Integrated Power Enhancer), partnered with his stepdaughter Courtney Whitmore, aka Stargirl.
