I read the synopsis on the back of the comic book that ties in with the show, and I wasn't overly impressed. I'm pretty annoyed that several of the headlining "super hero" girls are villains. I know that Harley Quinn is more popular than is reasonable right now, but there are plenty of actual super heroes that are ignored. (I'm glad that they're using Bumble Bee and some of the others that we don't usually see, though.) What about Big Barda? Fire and Ice? Flamebird? Is Raven in it? I guess it makes sense that they wouldn't use Wonder Girl since Wonder Woman is still in high school, but there are a bunch of other girls from the Teen Titans that they could use.
I also find the trend towards setting girl-aimed shows in high school strange. Take My Little Pony, for example. The ponies are young-ish adults. They're young enough that their little sisters are still in school, but they live independently and have jobs. Then they travel to another dimension and turn human, and suddenly they're all high school students. Why are they suddenly teenagers worried about going to the dance and winning the school talent competition, when as ponies they were saving entire kingdoms in between spazzy song and dance numbers?
