Some thought the crew behind the show were being PC, others just thought that another female presence wasn't needed. But then, there are the other few who actually thought the edition of Hawkgirl was a something needed to bring in diversity. The website <a href="http://www.***************.com">Comics Continuum</a> interview the voice actress behind the alien warrior, Maria Canals.
"She is fearless, she is mysterious, which I love about her," Canals states in the interview. "When you see it, you'll see how beautifully they animate her when she flies. She lifts up in the air and she flies and spins and somersaults. She's very graceful, and yet the next minute she's kicking a space alien's butt. She's very tough.
Canals reveals that the voice recording is usually done with the whole voice cast, a rarity when doing voice work for an animated series. Canals also states that her favorite episode has yet to air. She reveals more about the episode:
"There's a few I really like, but there's one that kind of stands out for me," she said. "It's called Legends. And it's an episode where we go back to the '50s and we're with the '50s super-heroes. And you can really see how we react because we're more modern. There's this part where they're asking me to bake cookies, and my character, Hawkgirl, is like (shifting into character), 'There is no way I am baking cookies.' She's a very independent woman. There's a lot of humor in that one, and I really enjoyed it."
Legends is likely the team up episode that Bruce Timm has mentioned in previous interviews. For the complete interview, go <a href="http://www.***************.com:8080/stories/0111/14/index.htm">HERE</a>.
