DC Comics path towards a female - favorable icon has been rocky to say the least — but it ’s taken some great steps forward with the surge of popularity in comics like Batgirl and Gotham Academy . Now they desire to take it a fiddling further with a young initiative that highlights their female grinder .
DC Super Hero Girls , a partnership between DC , Warner Bros. life and Mattel , re - imagines a cast of female superheroes ( and villains ) as young girls , getting to grip with their identity operator and powers . Aimed at girls between 6 - 12 , it ’s akin to Disney commercialise their myriad female grapheme under the collective “ Disney Princesses ” streamer — and , like say Princesses , the cast will be all over a variety of bits of merchandise , from animated direct - to - video picture show to books to T - shirts and Lego starting next year . Here ’s the full art DC released with the proclamation :
Only three Batman - related character ? Such restraint ! But still , it ’s gracious to see heroes like Katana and Bumblebee among the usual plaster bandage of heavy hitters like Wonder Woman , Supergirl and Batgirl .
It ’s also courteous to see the big comic companies start out to acknowledge the grow base of distaff comics lector . Let ’s desire DC Super Hero Girls offers a neat unveiling item into the world of mirthful book for new audiences .
