My sister used to watch this sometimes and I remember her, as the lead, being the weakest actor.
But I won’t hold a Nickelodeon show against her, I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt

Pretty excited because this is easily going to be Johns' baby that he will be very careful with. Not totally worried about the tone at all.

Just curious where exactly it falls in the continuity of their DC Universe, well, universe. Unrelated to Titans and Doom Patrol and standalone like Swamp Thing? Plus seeing Greg Berlanti attached too makes me wonder if it could be some kind of pre-origin story for the JSA.

Maybe more of a stand-alone. Not against it.

It's good that they've actually case a teenager to play a teenager for once.

@Nightwing1015 - I know right? I hate when they cast a 30 year old to play a teenager.
