Stargirl’s third season stages a superhero murder mystery, recalling DC’s early Detective Comics years.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Stargirl Season 3.For anyone who has ever wondered, “DC” stands for Detective Comics. The name is drawn from the influential comic series that predates the company as it exists today and introduced some of its most famous and important characters. Even after DC, as it is now known, came into being, the series remained influential and other DC titles also emphasized detective and mystery elements in their stories.
Even when the company shifted to superhero stories as its primary genre, many DC titles retained detective elements. Storylines were often referred to as "cases" by narration and the characters themselves and many heroes were known for their detective skills just as Batman was, with examples including the Martian Manhunter, Barry Allen’s Flash, Elongated Man, and The Question, among others.
A Murder Mystery Is Afoot The season’s murder mystery starts when the JSA finds Cindy standing over Sharpe’s dead body holding a gun and claiming her innocence in his killing. The murder mystery angle is a good way for Stargirl to avoid this. The hunt for the Gambler’s real killer gives everyone an important purpose, whether it’s as an investigator like Courtney and her team, a suspect like Sylvester, the Shade , and the ISA characters, or both.
