Mae Whitman

Batgirl (voiced by Mae Whitman in the first four seasons, Ashlyn Selich in the fifth season in the 2015 series; Tara Strong in the 2019 series) – A techno wizard, she was accepted to Super Hero High solely based on her intelligence. She more than makes up for possessing zero super-powers with her smarts, her well-honed detective skills, and her computer genius. Before being accepted as a student, she was the tech assistant working at the school.[1] Honing her detective skills and using her curious, tech-focused brain, Batgirl (a.k.a. Barbara Gordon) is always looking for opportunities to try out her newest crime-fighting gadgets.

Batgirl used to operate in Gotham City, where she craved for replacing Robin as Batman's partner, until her father James Gordon and herself had to move to Metropolis. Barbara started attending Metropolis High School, feeling very self-aware due to being the new transfer student, but she soon made friends who were also secretly superheroes. Barbara also got a job as a bartender at the "Burrito Bucket". Batgirl is the comedic relief out of all of her friends. She is known to be bubbly, cheerful, upbeat and downright optimistic. She is the one that wants everyone to get along and is often seen as the "cheerleader" in the group because of her contagious enthusiasm and zest for life. However, she is a fangirl and her ambitious nature makes her destined to be Batman's future sidekick. She is also a creative problem solver and will use her creativity and her surprisingly analytical thinking to stop the bad guys and be the glue in her friendships.

This version of the character is exclusive to the continuity of the television series DC Super Hero Girls and is an adaptation of Batgirl. The original character was created by Julius Schwartz, Gardner Fox, and Carmine Infantino and first appeared in Detective Comics #359. Faust described Barbara Gordon as "the Fangirl. Energetic. Optimistic. Encouraging. Fun". As a hero, Batgirl is a "Sleuth. Enthusiastic. Agile. Surprisingly analytical. Thinks outside the box."

Tara Strong, the voice of Batgirl and Harley Quinn, previously voiced Batgirl for a majority of DC Animated Universe sequences (following the death of her original voice actress, Mary Kay Bergman), which included The New Batman Adventures, Batman Beyond, Gotham Girls and Super Best Friends Forever. She continued to voice Batgirl/Barbara Gordon in the Cartoon Network series Beware the Batman, Teen Titans Go!, and voiced her in Batman: The Killing Joke. She uses Twilight Sparkle's voice from My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.

Bumblebee Karen Beecher Teala Dunn
Kimberly Brooks
Homo sapien 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Teala Dunn

Bumblebee (voiced by Teala Dunn in the 2015 series; Kimberly Brooks in the 2019 series) – A social butterfly, she uses her abilities to spy on super-villains to ensure that her team is always prepared for any scheme. Her powers include shrinkability, sonic blasts, and enhanced strength. This tech genius is outgoing and energetic. The selfless superhero believes in the powerful effects of teamwork.[2]

This version of the character is exclusive to the continuity of the television series DC Super Hero Girls and is an adaptation of Bumblebee. The original character was created by Bob Rozakis and Irv Novick and first appeared in Teen Titans #45. Faust described Karen Beecher as "the Nobody. Shy. Awkward. Sympathetic. Full of heart". As a hero, Bumblebee is "the Rookie. Brilliant. Eager. Clumsy. Never gives up."

Green Lantern Jessica Cruz Cristina Milizia
Myrna Velasco
Homo sapien 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Green Lantern (voiced by Cristina Milizia in the 2015 series; Myrna Velasco in the 2019 series) — Driven by compassion, Green Lantern (a.k.a. Jessica Cruz) uses her Power Ring to protect the innocent. A hero who refuses to throw a punch, she could end most confrontations easily, if not for the fact that she's a pacifist. Initially reluctant to become a Green Lantern, she actively refuses to hit anyone. She is also an environmentalist and a vegan.

This version of the character is exclusive to the continuity of the television series DC Super Hero Girls, its related films, and its tie-in comic book series, FCBD 2016 - DC Superhero Girls, DC Super Hero Girls: Finals Crisis, DC Super Hero Girls Halloween Fest Special Edition and DC Super Hero Girls: Hits and Myths. It's an adaptation of Jessica Cruz. The original character was created by Geoff Johns and Doug Mahnke and first appeared in Justice League (Volume 2) #30. Faust describe Jessica Cruz as "the Activist. Compassionate. Dedicated. Hard-working. Resolute". As a hero, Green Lantern is a "Protector. Pacifist. Righteous. Self-sacrificing. Strong-willed."

Harley Quinn Harleen Quinzel Tara Strong Homo sapien 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Tara Strong

Harley Quinn (voiced by Tara Strong) – The resident class clown, she dedicates herself to spectacular pranks and endless puns. This unpredictable jokester and quick-witted acrobat makes it her job to create fun.[3]

Katana Tatsu Yamashiro Stephanie Sheh
Rina Hoshino
Homo sapien 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Stephanie Sheh

Katana (voiced by Stephanie Sheh in the 2015 series; Rina Hoshino in the 2019 series) – An artist with an edge, she loves to blend her love of art and fashion to create a killer look. Fearless Katana is a skilled martial artist and swordswoman. She considers her blade a part of her and often speaks to it.[4] Super-genius Bumblebee (a.k.a. Karen Beecher) may lack the fighting skills of her super friends, but she has more heart and brainy resilience than anyone in Metropolis. She's always focusing her energy and engineering skills on upgrading her suit with the latest tech.

Katana is a very strict and serious individual. With an intense character defined by a silent fierceness that matches Diana Prince's own. She is a fastidious sort whom takes discipline to heart. Feeling that an able mind is befitting of an apt body. Often taking the time to hone ones acumen as often as training the body. Tatsu is also extremely unforgiving towards the criminally corrupt. At one time believing it was a heroes duty to punish and avenge the crimes placated by the wicked. To the most extreme of degrees. This narrow mindset also made her a little naive, as Katana once mistook the Superhero Girls for villains after having dispatched most of metropolises criminals. This train of thought was further emboldened by the feeble means in which the reviled, decadent souls are handled by law enforcement.

Poison Ivy Pamela Lillian Isley Tara Strong
Cristina Milizia
Homo planta 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Poison Ivy (voiced by Tara Strong in the 2015 series; Cristina Milizia in the 2019 series) – A garden variety misfit, she gained her earth-based abilities from an experiment gone awry.

Kryptonian 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Nicole Sullivan

Supergirl (voiced by Anais Fairweather in the 2015 series; Nicole Sullivan in the 2019 series) – A kind and noble person, she is always ready to save the day and to help others. Her powers include heat vision, super-strength, ice breath, flight, x-ray vision, super-speed, and a sonic yell. People describe her as a clumsy and optimistic person. She is always ready to protect others, even when it means risking her own life in the process.[6] Confident and competitive, Supergirl (a.k.a. Kara Danvers) always means well, but she does not always know her own superhuman strength, which all too often gets her into real trouble.

Hot-headed, rebellious and brash, Kara works hard to step out of her cousin's shadow at the same time that she attends Metropolis High School as Kara Danvers. It was there where she met and befriended several more heroines. This version of the character is exclusive to the continuity of the television series DC Super Hero Girls and is an adaptation of Supergirl. The original character was created by Otto Binder and Al Plastino and first appeared in Action Comics #252. Faust described Kara Zor-El as "The Rebel. Confident. Funny. Hot Headed.

She is known to be courageous and competitive.[7] A crusader for truth and justice, Wonder Woman (a.k.a. Diana Prince) is always looking to stop evil in its tracks with courage and supreme confidence, while excelling at Metropolis High in both academics and sports.

Diana of Themyscira, Princess of Amazons, daughter of Queen Hippolyta, is a 317 years old Amazon Demigod, but appears no older than age 17 human teenager. Born on Paradise Island, she is a (Valedictorian) student at Metropolis High School, where she feels awkwardly out of place.

Zatanna Zatanna "Zee" Zatara Kari Wahlgren Homo magi 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Kari Wahlgren

Zatanna (voiced by Kari Wahlgren) — Hilariously overdramatic and lovingly snarky, Zatanna (a.k.a. Zee Zatara) is the most fabulous Super Hero of them all.
