DC Super Hero Girls: Katana

Ok The next DC Super Hero girl is the sword wielder Katana. ^_^
Some Shots from the comics. ^_^
(More webfinds and shots from the DC Super Hero Girls Episode Fish Out of Water Part 2. Once again tremendous Thank yous to Flynn Mars and JTurner for recommending this episode. ^_^)

In the cartoon, Katana known for her artistry, martial arts skills, swordsmanship and fearlessness. Her DC Super Hero Girls website bio described her as being on "The Cutting Edge" of fashion. When she isn't fighting crime, she aspires to be a fashion designer and stylist and works to "sharpen" her skills in those areas. In the series she possesses great intuition. She is able to communicate with her sword

I'm really happy that DC decided to include Katana in this series. She's one of those DC heroines that doesn't get enough exposure. I like her character design a lot. The artists for the series gave her a samurai inspired outfit with a grey, black and red color scheme which is actually pretty close to her comic books and the film Suicide Squad. She also wears a mask reminiscent of a Japanese flag. (White with a red circle in the middle.) Looking over her face... Katana reminds me a little bit of Mulan. :-D I guess there are a lot of similarities between the two girls with both being Asian female warriors.

Of course from a foot fan's perspective, one of the great things about Katana is that she uses her feet a lot doing her martial arts kicks. Even if they tend to be tucked away inside her boots you get a sense of how powerful they are.

Ok guys that's all for now. Still more DC Super Hero girls posts to come.
