After watching five episodes of The CW and DC Universe's Stargirl, I'm not quite sure I can explain the main character's powers, which relate to gymnastics, genetics and a powerful gizmo known as the Cosmic Staff.
I'm quite sure, though, that I can connect the superpower of Stargirl as a series to two simple words: location and timing. Although it was developed for DC Universe (and episodes will premiere a day earlier on the streaming platform), Stargirl skews much younger and lighter than the service's variably gloomy and snarky (neither word necessarily meant as criticism) entries like Titans, Doom Patrol and the beloved animated Harley Quinn— making it a much better fit for The CW.
