The Vixen is an animated action adventure series that started as a weekly 30 minute long web-series in August 2015 on CW Seed. After two season CW decided to compile the content and air it on Wednesday, August 30th at 8 PM as a 74 minute long movie. It’s based on the DC Character, Mari McCabe, a superhero crime-fighter who has the power to mimic any animal. Her parents were killed by local greed, corruption, and violence; so she fights to protect the world from threats like those.
It’s a spin off of The Flash and is set in the same world as The Flash, Arrow, and Legends of the Tomorrow. These shows have a huge following and by Vixen having that connection, plus having some of the stars of The Flash (Grant Gustin and Carlos Valdes) and Arrow (Stephen Amell and Katie Cassidy), they really grab in super fans to come watch. Not only does the star studded and loved cast bring in fans to watch but the directors of the show help on that front too. Curt Geda and James Tucker have done a lot of work with Batman bringing in more superhero fans.
