“Stargirl” has found its Starman.
The upcoming DC Universe series has cast Joel McHale as Starman, one of the members of the Justice Society of America. McHale’s version of the character is based on the Golden Age version of Starman, whose real name is Sylvester Pemberton. A courageous and confident superhero, Starman wields a mysterious anti-gravity weapon called the Cosmic Staff. His longtime partner is his sidekick, Stripesy, better known as Stargirl’s (Courtney Whitmore) stepfather, Pat Dugan.
McHale is the third announced casting for the series, which will star Brec Bassinger as the titular character. The live-action series for the DC’s digital subscription series is being written and produced by Geoff Johns under his Mad Ghost Productions banner.
