Hawkgirl (The CW)

[TurtleTitan97]

SpoilerTV has learned that The CW is planning a separate Hawkgirl TV series starring Ciara Renée. The project is currently in very early stages of development. If The CW decides to move forward with it, it will most likely bypass the pilot stage and get a straight to series order.

It is unclear if the series will be set before or after the events of The CW's upcoming TV series Legends of Tomorrow, which also stars Ciara Renée.

Hmmm.

I really don't feel CW has earned this series yet. I mean, the character has appeared in all of 10 seconds of The Flash, right? She's a total unknown.

I think CW needs to reconsider how it launches its new shows; they did it perfectly with The Flash, showcasing Barry Allen in only two episodes of Arrow in a dedicated two-part story. Barry was a hit, and so we rolled straight to The Flash.

Then Arrow consumed SO MUCH of Season 3 with trying to get Ray Palmer accepted, trying to spin him off into his own show. Personally, I feel like the lackluster response to the character convinced CW to go with a team show "Legends of Tomorrow" rather than a standalone Atom series.

My point is this: CW seems to be going too far in one direction or the other, overselling the new characters (Ray Palmer) or underselling them (Hawkgirl), and should return to the model that proved successful (Flash).

... I'll still watch the pilot episode, though.

It's cute when people pretend Hawkgirl is an actual character, instead of just a female sidekick to a character nobody likes. I honestly never thought we'd see a Hawkman show, let alone Hawgirl. How bizarre.

Legends of Tomorrow hasn't debuted, Looks like they have faith in a Hawkgirl series.

How can they? There's been no critical feedback on the actress playing her or the depiction of the character.

I still think CW is jumping the gun here. Possibly even the shark.

I just wish they went with Shayera Hol Hawkgirl, Who I'm used to from the Justice League cartoons.

That's the thing tho. Sheira's not in the DCNu, it's Kendra. Sheira was last seen during Brightest Days where she was turned into an air Elemental. In the DCNu stuff it's Kendra who's the Hawkgirl on Earth Prime (well till she sacrificed herself to save Kartor from her wicked brother) and Earth 2 anyways.

Actually Kendra is only Hawkgirl on Earth-2 in the New 52. Shayera Thal was the version of Hawkwoman who sacrificed herself for Katar Hol in the Earth Prime universe.

The rumor for a "Hawkgirl" series was false. Renée confirmed it on Twitter:

Srry to disappoint, but the rumors are false. No #Hawkgirl solo show! Thanx for all the love though! Even more excited to start #DCLOT now!

Excellent. The rumor made no sense. But studios do dumbass things sometimes, so it was somewhat believable.
