In Other Media
There was a television series planned based on Jack's adventures, from the creators of Smallville and Birds of Prey. Both Jack and his father would have featured, it would have been set in Opal City and would have apparently aimed to follow the comics as closely as possible. However, in 2003, after the failure of Birds of Prey, the series was described as "indefinitely on hold" and there is presently no sign that it will ever be produced.
Additionally, on Justice League Unlimited, Stargirl wields Jack's cosmic rod. The only Starman seen on the program is Prince Gavyn, and the origin of Courtney's powers and history on the series remain unknown.
Jack was made into a DC Direct figure in 1999 during the early years of the line. Additionally, a variant figure was released that featured re-colored clothes and a goatee. Figures of both Ted and Jack Knight as Starman were released in Wave 15 of Mattel's DC Universe Classics line. A figure is planned for the Eaglemoss DC Comics Super Hero Collection for July 2011.
Sylvester Pemberton in the Smallville "Absolute Justice" special was seen to use a cosmic rod similar to Jack's and, like with Jack, the rod was passed to Stargirl.

Famous quotes containing the word media:
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
