Stargirl (Season 3)

The upcoming third season of the hit DC Comics-based series Stargirl.

Plot
The third season will borrow heavily from Geoff Johns' run in early 2000s. It will introduce several new characters, starting from Captain Marvel/Billy Batson and his family. They will be based on the Pre-New 52 versions therefore Billy's superhero identity is called Captain Marvel, Mary is his twin sister and her superhero identity is called Mary Marvel and Billy's best friend and Mary's love interest Freddy Freeman turns into Captain Marvel Junior (by saying the magic word Captain Marvel instead of Shazam). We shall also meet Shazam, the Wizard who gave them their powers, and their arch-enemies Black Adam, Kull and Neron.

Billy and Courtney will fall in love and get engaged by mid-season. They will become one of the most popular CW couples among viewers (especially on social medias and forums) and they will stay together until the end of the series. Billy will confess his love to Courtney while they are on a date at the zoo, in front of the tiger's enclosure. Captain Marvel will join the Justice Society and the two will have to keep their relationship a secret while on duty but, as their teammates start to notice, in order to explain Billy will be forced to tell his secret identity to the others. Atom Smasher, also in love with Courtney, will serve as Billy's rival and the two will dislike each other from the beginning. They will even fight in an episode. But Cortney will have no doubts about which one she loves and that's Billy.

Billy will also introduce Courtney to his family (both Mary and Freddy will get along very well with her) and even the Wizard Shazam (they will visit the Rock of Eternity together in an episode).

The series will also introduce additional Justice Society members and superheroes: Doctor Fate, Cyclone, Atom Smasher, Hawkman and Hawkgirl. The later will be based on the alien Thanagarian versions of the characters rather than the Egyptian versions who appeared in Legends of Tomorrow.

The lead villain of the season will be the demon Neron, who will also disguise himself through the season as one of the characters' main friends in order to deceive them. Neron's plan is to literally bring hell on earth by unleashing his horde of demons on Los Angeles. He will succeed thanks to the actions of the characters (manipulated by him) in the penultimate episode. The last episode will be dedicated to the Justice Society together trying to stop Neron's army and close the gates of hell definitely. Black Adam will be the villain of a two-episodes story arc, while Kull will appear in a single episode. We shall also see again Icicle, Brainwave and the Injustice Unlimited (who will grow in numbers).

The Marvel Family will appear from the first episode and become recurring characters through the series. Cyclone will appear in the third episode and also becomes a recurring character. Hawkman and Hawkgirl will appear in mid-season. Kent Nelson appeared as early as the fourth episode but will only put the helmet on and becomes Doctor Fate again in the last two episodes. He previously choose to retire, feeling the burden of Nabu's power was too much for him to handle, but he will return when his Justice Society comrades really need his help.

As an easter egg, the tiger at the zoo is named Tawky Tawny as mentioned by Billy when Courtney confesses that she shares his feelings. "She loves me! She loves me back! Did you hear that? She loves me! Isn't that wonderful Mr. Tawny?"
