WARNING: This article includes spoilers from Titans season 4, episode 9, “Dude, Where’s My Gar?”Before The CW canceled the show in 2022, there were plans for an additional Stargirl and Titans crossover, according to Geoff Johns. While Stargirl was unfortunately canceled after only three seasons, the Arrowverse-esque drama got one more shine through Titans. In this week’s episode, “Dude, Where’s My Gar?” Beast Boy grew stronger in his connections with The Red, which allowed him to travel across the multiverse. One of the Earths he traveled to was Earth-2, the universe where Stargirl comes from, allowing The CW and HBO Max shows to do a crossover.
However, it appears that there would have been more crossovers beyond Titans season 4 if Stargirl had been renewed. According to Johns, who was the Stargirl showrunner and an executive producer on Titans, the moment Beast Boy and Stargirl met would have been referenced in season 4 of The CW drama. In an interview with DC, Johns revealed that Ryan Potter’s Beast Boy might have even stuck behind in Blue Valley for an actual episode.
If we had done a season four of Stargirl, we would have referenced this scene. Maybe we would have kept Gar in Blue Valley for an episode.
Could Stargirl Return In James Gunn’s DC Universe?
Even though Stargirl is finished as a TV show, there is a new DC Universe on the horizon from James Gunn. While it is heavily a reboot, Gunn is clearly keeping some players around from the DCEU. That leaves the door wide open for Gunn to use characters from other DC media, as well as the actors who played them.
If this week’s episode of Titans season 4 showed anything, it was the fact that even if a series is concluded, these characters can continue in other properties. The idea of parallel worlds crossing over with each other has been a big concept for DC in live-action since the Arrowverse introduced the multiverse on The Flash TV show. That could easily continue through Gunn’s DC Universe, whether it be characters from Stargirl, Titans, or other concluded shows.
On the other hand, it is possible that the character of Stargirl gets introduced in the DC Universe down the line but completely rebooted. Although if Gunn has a way to incorporate Brec Bassingers’s version of Courtney Whitmore, it would be able to carry over an established audience that followed the show. But for now, time will tell if Stargirl has a future in the DC Universe after the crossover in Titans season 4.
