The concept of legacy is likely to be a big part of the Arrowverse going forward, and there's no character more suited to explore that theme than legacy character 'Stargirl' herself.
Wielder of the Cosmic Staff, and torchbearer of the Starman legacy, the Arrowverse's newest superhero is set to arrive in the spring of 2020.
