At Super Hero High, iconic Super Heroes like Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Harley Quinn, Bumblebee, Poison Ivy, and Katana navigate all the twists and turns of high school. United by friendship, the DC Super Hero Girls empower kids to shine with confidence and courage, especially while they combat those overwhelming, exciting, and awesomely awkward moments of growing up.
This series is Mattel and DC Comics attempt to capture the girl audience that they have forgot about and since they are loosing the rights to Disney Princess line they had to come out with something. DC/Mattel is planning on going way out on this that will include Dolls, Action Figures, clothes, school supplies and more. To be truthful it is about time.
One my site I will be updating every week about this fun cartoon that really does not follow any comic book lore: DC SUPER HERO GIRLS WIKI
This weeks episode is the 5th in the series where Wonder Woman, Bumblebee and Star Sapphire go for flight trying.
The DC Super Hero Girls line is about to expand even further. The initiative, which was launched in April, already includes an animated series and an announced toy line debuting in spring 2016. DC has now announced that a new graphic novel will be part of the DC Super Hero Girls line.
The OGN will be titled "DC Super Hero Girls: Finals Crisis" and will feature a story written by Shea Fontana with art from Yancey Labat. Monica Kubina and Janice Chiang round out the creative team as colorist and letterer, respectively. While plot details about the story remain to be revealed, DC did announce that the book will go on sale on July 6, 2016 in comic book stores, ahead of a wide release in all book stores on July 12.
The announcement was paired with the release of the latest short in the "DC Super Hero Girls" animated series, which focuses on Poison Ivy and her heroic good deeds. (1)
So the webisodes have been airing for awhile now & mattel is not releasing anything until June? Go figure, leave it to them to drop the ball on this release!

Monster High did similar. The websites and webisodes launched a few months before any toys. They switched with Ever After High and released dolls first but it didn't do as well. Makes sense to go back to a formula that worked. My guess is they'll release a DVD around that time too to cross promote.
Mattel sucks in the action figure aisle but the are a powerhouse in the doll aisle.
You get what everyone gets ... you get a lifetime.
