It's amazing that DC did not capitalize on what DCAU did for Hawkgirl. They made her an equal to Wonder Woman in that universe. They should have done that in the comics but sadly it always has to be WW. I love Diana too but characterization of Shayera and her contrast with Diana, flesh both their personalities. Diana was loving and caring but a formidable warrior. Shayera was bold, in your face, hit now asks questions later kinda gal.
@@marlonclark1896 Do you know how I know Hawkman? He was in the classic Super Friends cartoons by Hannah Barbara, including Challenge of The Super Friends!!!
Justice League and Unlimited were the best version of her and true to her character to the very core And don't fight me on that Shayera Holl is and always be Hawkgirl ✊
Always had a soft spot for Hawkgirl but her development as a solid character in the DC Universe was too erratic. Seems like writers could never settle on her character arc. Hopefully she's on more solid ground these days.
There was a Justice league cartoon back in the 1960’s where Hawk Girl was married to Hawk Man (Carter Hall) and sometimes they worked on their own or as part of (as it was called back then) the JLA. That was a variation on the silver age Hawk Girl, at least I think it was…. Judging from the story arcs shown in this video, Hawk Girl’s life has gotten complicated these days.
Since Hawkgirl Spike Mace can repel Magic, imagine a live action version of her vs. MCU Dr. Strange or Scarlet Witch (Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness), interesting Plot Twist in film!
To me, no show or comic really did a deep dive and developed the character of Hawkgirl as much as the Justice League animated series and Justice League Unlimited! Such a female Wolverine! I was fascinated by her and looked forward to seeing her the most, as much as I love Batman and Wonder Woman! When I saw her featured prominently on these series, I was like, where the hell has SHE been???! Why the fuck has DC and writers been sleeping on such an AWESOME, ENTHRALLING cartoon character???! Hawkgirl deserves her own 5-year series!
@@marlonclark1896 I wish that they would’ve continued her story, I could see Chiara and her Beau setting down maybe in Meiji era Japan or living in Egypt after defeating that psycho who wanted them dead.
Hawk Girl was always an "Also-Ran". Less than a sidekick, Just the female version of Hawk Man created at a time when every super hero needed a [pardon the pun] wing-man. Most of the sidekicks eventually grew into their own characters, but Hawk Girl never developed, she just faded into the background. Present in the Golden age, Absent or invisible in the Silver age. That was, Until the Justice league animated series that had to adhere to guidelines of gender balance in every team situation. Sidelining Hawk man in favour of someone who wasn't even prominent enough to be called his sidekick was a bold move. A bold move that would probably failed had not the writers developed her personality to not only pull her out of the shadows, but actually make her a deep and complex individual, integral to the story structure of the WHOLE series. Harley Quinn in the Batman animated series took on a life of her own simply by capturing the fans imagination. Hawk Girl already existed and had a history that had to be overcome in order to reinvent her. Maybe it's because her background and character in comics WAS such a blank slate that it afforded the writers the opportunity to really make a splash with her. Hawk Girl is my favourite member of the animated Justice league because although her image is familiar, she's NEW, She's FRESH, and she's a force of will all her own. My favourite scene out of SO MANY favourite scenes is her interactions with Solomon Grundy, when she was present for BOTH of Grundy's deaths.
She should have been in the Snyder cut since she does look like an Angel, also can you do a video on the Shadow thief and other Hawk villains like Gentleman Ghost, Hath-Set, Lion-mane, matter master etc
@@KijoSamhain Not the founding 7 of the Justice League Though. They aren’t supposed to be Killers. Maybe heroes like Etergan,, Huntress, or Swamp Thing can get away with killing. Founding members of the Justice League need to set an example for other heroes to follow.
the cartoons couldn't use Carter Hall's name because of copy rights. So they said his name was Ro Talic. Later they used another name close to Carter Hall but not quite.
8:42 Way to take a page out of Douglas Adam's book :D Destroying Earth for a hyperspace bypass. She should have just gone to the community meeting lolol
I was hoping that you talked more about her mace during her "powers segment" of the video; as I don't really understand or know much about it. It was great otherwise so, I'll leave a like 😉
Ok everyone tell me, if you could give Hawkgirl from the Justice League animated series another super power what would it be? I would give her power to control all the forces of air and give her air-based attacks.
Shayera Hol (Silver Age Hawkgirl) and Jon Steward have a son named Rex Stewart who would later join the Justice League Beyond as Warhawk (appearing in the Batman Beyond A.K.A. Batman of the Future animated TV show, named "The Call, parts 1 and 2." Season 3; episodes 6 and 7.) After Warhawk was born, Shayera and Jon decided to leave the Justice League in order to care of Rex.🦅🦸🏼♀
In my school vr game goalius hawkgirl is the autobot aireal mass murderer airtalon lesbian girlfriend and yes lesbian in the game her origin stated that she donated her feathers to create the peacock pendent and during so tried to defend the monks town in France and during so gave goalius his iconic black scarred eye in the mission called a thunderous cataclysm where she and airtalon meet when fighting the decepticons goalius and kill master the battle ended with hawkgirl straight up smashed kill masters head into pieces killing him instantly and then one night they "had fun" and during which goalius being a pepping Tom saw the girls and things went nuts after goalius in the kaimera armour took out autobot ghost shade airtalon took on goalius and during which goalius revealed that he was holding a deep dark grudge and during this hawkgirl then thrown her mace into goalius head knocking out goalius
I must be the only person who thinks that Hawkgirl is massively overrated, and a one-trick pony... I enjoyed her in the animated Justice League, but that was it.
