Ok, I know nothing about any other heroes besides the Big DC Three - being Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. So, getting to see characters like Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter was a new experience for me. Hawkgirl has been (next to John Stewart) the most unexpected member of the Justice League canon, but as the audience, we know the least about her.
I like her, but the whole thing with the wings is rather odd. Is that hovering or really flying? Are they real or mechanical? So many questions, so little time...What is Thanagar like? She called it a "War-like world where one must either strike first or die", but how much do we know about it's inhabitants?
Basically, I want to use this thread to determine what we actually know about Shayera in "Justice League" continuity, and what Timm and company has already told us to expect, or has hinted at. Now, I don't mean complete spoilers for episodes, but rather a confirmation as to whether or not Hawkgirl will ever be anything more than the tough gal with wings....
So,
On the Cartoon Network website, it says she used to be a cop on Thanagar. We know she's a red-haired female, but is Thanagar a planet inhabited by human/animal hybirds, or is her costume just a fashion statement a la Batman? Did she look like that as a cop on her native planet? Is Thanagar a reachable planet, and can she ever visit, or is she "lost" in our galaxy? Also, approxiately how long has she been on earth prior to "Secret Origins"?
These are just a few of the many things we've been wondering since JL began. Hopefully we can seperate fact from fiction from rumour and condense it all into this thread. Thanks for the replies and help all! LET'S FIGURE THIS GAL OUT!!!
