Hawkgirl is super popular because she was in Justice League, Legends of Tomorrow, and Injustice: Gods Among Us, but can you believe that Kenda Saunders/Shiera Saunders/Shayera Hol really isn't that popular?! Here's her history.

Imo, DC should drop the whole hawkman/hawkgirl pairing and just give us a thanagarian warrior Hawkwoman like the one from the Justice League cartoon. That's the version of the character that everyone knows and loves and that's for a reason. She's awesome and wayless complicated and ridiculous than this whole reincarnation/soul swapping fiasco.

@dakotanelson8523 5 жыл бұрын

Meh. There's already enough humanoid alien superheroes (especially in DC) as it is. The reincarnation origin is more unique and lends itself to more interesting stories.

@lannasa4220 4 жыл бұрын

I also want the Hawkgirl without pairing with Hawkman, because as long as she continues in that pairing she will be greatly overshadowed and will not get the value she deserves. Her origin in the comics is confusing, the character suffers from different versions. They should leave Shayera Hall as Hawkgirl, her story in the Justice League animation was very good, Bruce Timm had a good idea for the character. I would love for DC to wear it at DCU and in more DC comics, Wonder Woman needs a female companion

@maninthetrenchcoat5603 2 жыл бұрын

@@Elektrikkiss Imagine a WandaVision-esque show for the Hawks where each episode is the two reincarnating through different lives together, ending with them dying each episode. The show ends with Hawkman fighting the Shadow Thief, the spiritual embodiment of his love and obsession for Shayera, breaking their endless cycle of death and reincarnation. He dies so that Shayera can finally live a life of her own.

I like hawk girl a lot. Basically entirely cuz of the justice league cartoon. I don’t like her in legends of tomorrow though. I liked the alien one from hawkworld especially in the episodes based around it in the justice league series, especially ‘star-crossed’. She seems greatly improved in this series. Also like the one in earth 2.

I like both depictions of Hawkgirl. However I think that the Days of future past hawkgirl incorporated more of her past history. and reincarnations make a lot of sense now after hearing her past. The writers basically cleaned up her story and gave her a super villain powerful enough to keep people interested.
