'DC's Stargirl' Season 2: Release date, spoilers and all about The CW superhero show
'DC’s Stargirl’ was undoubtedly one of the best shows last year and turned out to be a sleeper hit for The CW. Based on the ‘Stars and S.T.R.I.P.E.’ comics by Lee Moder and Geoff Johns, the show revolves around a high-school student named Courtney Whitmore (Brec Bassinger) from Los Angeles who is trying to search for her own identity.
One decade after nearly all the Justice Society of America (JSA) members were killed in a battle against the Injustice Society of America (ISA), Courtney discovers the cosmic staff of Starman and finds out that her stepfather used to be Starman’s sidekick. She ultimately joins the remaining members of JSA and calls herself ‘Stargirl’.

Plot
The makers have not released the synopsis for the entire season, but they recently updated the fans with the official logline of the season’s first episode. The official synopsis of Season2’s first episode reads, “With summer break around the corner, Pat (Luke Wilson) suggests the family take a vacation after seeing that Courtney (Brec Bassinger) has been spending too much time focused on being Stargirl and not enough time on her schoolwork. Meanwhile, as Beth (Anjelika Washington) attempts to reconnect with Chuck, she stumbles upon a major secret her parents have been keeping from her. Elsewhere, Yolanda (Yvette Monreal) continues to be haunted by Brainwave’s death, and Rick (Cameron Gellman) secretly tracks Solomon Grundy after suspecting he may still be in the area.”

In the final moments of the season, we see Shade returning to the ISA headquarters. On the other hand, Shiv looks through old ISA artifacts and finds a prison holding Eclipso.
We cut to six weeks later and see all the members of JSA celebration Christmas together at the Whitmore house. The ending moments see Courtney patrolling Blue Valley as Stargirl with STRIPE at her side. However, the biggest revelation of the series came at the very end of the season.
In California, we see someone visiting the old apartment of Pat, and turns out he is actually Sylvester Pemberton, the real Starman.

Trailer
The trailer of Season 2 shows JSA seemingly keen to disband as there are no more threats to keep them together. Stargirl tries to change their mind, but soon realizes leading a normal life is something that she should prepare herself for. On the other hand, it seems like Shade will be the main villain this season. However, it will be interesting to see how Eclipso comes out of the diamond and possess someone to carry out his vengeful wishes.
