How do you defeat a murderous mindreader with savage telekinetic powers?
Stargirl (Brec Bassinger) takes on one of the Justice Society’s most notorious foes in this week’s episode.

Andy Cohen just couldn’t resist.
On a special celebrating the soaps, the Bravo producer and host declared them dead.

There’s a moment that haunts from the premiere of the new DC Universe/CW series “Stargirl.”
Stripesy – Pat Dugan (Luke Wilson) – has just rescued his partner/mentor/presumed pal Starman (Joel McHale) from a massacre at the Justice Society headquarters at the hands of the Injustice Society.
