It’s quite undeniable that superheroes are more popular than they’ve ever been these days. As such, it can be said the genre is no longer viewed as the “boys’ club” it once was. Seeing that there was a bit of a merchandising void for young girls who adore costumed characters, DC wisely created the DC Super Hero Girls franchise not long ago.
At first, it consisted of animated shorts that dropped on YouTube every couple of weeks, and then quickly expanded into a line of action figures, McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, graphic novels, and even an animated movie.
