I think this could be really awesome and a different kind of show. The Legends of Tomorrow preview mentions that this version of Hawkgirl is going to focus on her past lives. I think it would be awesome to see a Hawkgirl show set in the present where the protagonist has flashbacks to her past selves. It would give the show a different feel and as Hawkgirl has some mysticism to her origin it would feel different than Arrow (Realism/Crime) or Flash (Super Science).
Hawkgirl
Character » Hawkgirl appears in 1705 issues.
Hawkgirl is the reincarnated spirit of Chay-Ara. Born on Thanagar, she gained the rank of lieutenant in her world and was subsequently sent to Earth on a mission, but during her stay, she grew to love Earth and care for its inhabitants, eventually becoming known to the people as the superheroine Hawkgirl.
Update: CW Not Developing Hawkgirl TV Series
okay, then what about her male counterpart? much as i like Hawkgirl, Hawkman really needs more attention
@the_stegman: Lmfao. You're kidding right? Walking Dead and Daredevil are the best comic shows on tv.
@mfundroid: Oh yh! I have no love for that ship or that show but I guess the higher ups at CW thought it would boost ratings so shove that in and steal precious Vixen screen time in a six ep mini series cause that's what we need lots and lots of distractions.
@the_stegman: Lmfao. You're kidding right? Walking Dead and Daredevil are the best comic shows on tv.
Daredevil isn't on TV, and personally, I don't like Zombies so I don't like the Waking Dead. Even if they don't want to call their Zombies Zombies, they're totally Zombies.
@lone_wolf_and_cub: I'll rephrase, best superhero show on TV, and I like Flash more than DD. Plus, it's not on TV.
I say wait until she develops more in the show,see if she is seen as a popular character,and then push forward with her spin off,maybe a 13 episode showcasing her origins or possibly after the legends of tomorrow ends.In all honesty I think this is a great move for Dc to push its heroines to get more attention they deserve.
heres to wishful thinking
CW is about to cancel all their non DC shows to make room for more DC shows.
this terrifies me because it could be true...
She don't need her own series, 3 shows is enough. More than that would be pushing it one one network. She showed up Flash finale as a cameo, she'll be on LOT, leave it at that DC, please stop overly pushing the minority characters....as a minority even I'm sick of it lol
@drellassassin: As in the viewers which is us...
I wish they would fix the iron atom before they start branching out with more shows. Who knows? If the hawkgirl character kicks ass it might deserve it's own show. My kids loved the supergirl pilot. Another inspirational female character would be good for young girls.
Even tho this rumor proved false it still seems the CW is becoming the DC network and I'm cool with that and hope they'll bring back Saturday morning cartoons and give us some decent super hero animation without worrying that they'll cancel high rated shows for dumb ass reasons.
Great, another show I have to b*tch about every week...
Seriously stop offering me free entertainment based on a source material I claim to love featuring familiar characters I also claim to love!!
We comic book fans have become a loathsome bunch haven't we?
This would've been interesting. I don't see Legends of Tomorrow lasting more than a season so it would be a nice replacement once it is over.
