I just saw a preview for the new cartoon show aimed at girls from DC Comics: Super Hero Girls. (Yes, that's literally it's name. [Linked Image] )

I'm curious what you guys think.

My first thoughts were that it was another patronizing nitch show set in high school with the same old, same old plot lines (i.e. ala Monster High, Ever After High, Barbie High, Lego Friends... get the picture). From some reason, Hollywood thinks girls only want to watch shows set in high school with adjusting to teen angst.

When I showed this (or another similar one, showing less guys) preview to my 11 y.o. daughter and asked her opinion, she said that it looked good. I asked her if it didn't her remind her of other shows (mentioned above) and she commented that she liked super heroes (we're still waiting for Netflix to download the second or is it 3rd season of Young Justice to the Instant List) and not monsters or princesses, so wasn't interested in watching the other shows.

I, personally, would like another type of show available for kids. One that had equal amounts of girls and guys, and less teen angst, but that's a discussion for another thread.

Have you seen this show (or it's preview)? What are your thoughts?
