Was Hawkgirl really second most famous DC heroine back in 2001?
>>151737664Built, born and bred of BGC.
>>151737664no
>>151737664Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl
No, and despite getting a huge boost from 2001 cartoon she failed to become A-lister
>>151737664Nope, just one of the more adjacent main 8 JLA members they cold use to stick onto the team. And they needed another girl.
>>151737664It was basically them wanting Hawkman but realizing they needed another girl. Nothing more than that.
>>151737664She was raven tier and just like raven her cross media popularity died out after the TT and JL nostalgia wore off in the early 2010s.
>>151737664No the second most famous, but she makes for a good 7th member of the League>2nd girl so it's not just a sausage fest>distinct design and silhouette so you can tell who she is in the opening and group shots>her schtick is obvious at a glance, bird woman with a heavy mace. You don't have to spend a lot of time or exposition explaining her origin. She can just show up in the pilot and people can figure out what her deal is>somebody has to be the weakest member of the 7, and Batman has plot armor
>>151738798Weakest was Martian, he was a legendary jobber in JLA
>>151738867Supes and J'onn both jobbed so that Hawkgirl and Batman could be useful
>>151738798>"her mace counters magic so have to keep her around"She literally offers nothing else to the team (other than being hot redhead, so it's okay).
>>151737664>back in 2001Do we even have a well defined heroine that would occupy a JL seat besides Wonder Woman nowadays?
>>151737664tummyyy
>>151739018If you want to avoid the derivative choices like Batgirl and Supergirl you can use Black Canary, Vixen, Zatanna, or Huntress.
>>151737664No they kept changing the lineup throughout production. John was in cause Timm wanted him. Wally was in cause it was going to have kids on the team with him and Tim Drake learning lessons every episode. Hawkgirl took Aquaman's place because the head of DC wanted one of them to be a traitor and it's easier to forgive a woman than a man.
>>151739149>Black Canary, Vixen, Zatanna, or HuntressYeah, none of them are a must, and are pretty much on the same league as Hawkgirl.I bet a female Green Lantern would be more likely.
>>151739185>Wally was in cause it was going to have kids on the team with him and Tim DrakeWas this before or after it was Robin, Impulse and Cyborgirl?
I fucking love Hawkgirl
>>151739200Jess has been used quite a few times in the animated stuff. But I do think Black Canary is iconic enough to stand the test of time. She's been in multiple animated and live action properties.
>>151739247I wonder if you could run every episode through an AI and do this with every female
>>151739018Zatannah would have been the next best choice for a classic member.
>>151737664She was the mist well like heroine from the dcu universe.Which is why they got rid of her and we her...well everything
>>151738914She was a jack of all trades character>She's not as strong as Superman or Wonder Woman, but she's still pretty damn strong>She can fly just like most of the team, but slower which means she can help with search and rescue while the others are busy>Her mace was essentially unbreakable, which means it can be used in situations where a Green Lantern construct won't cut it >She's an expert on alien cultures in a way that Green Lantern isn't because he's a space cop>She's a warrior but not as good as WW>She's a detective/spy but not as good as BatsShe isn't as good as anyone else at any of this stuff, but she's still pretty good at a little bit of everything Which makes her excellent back up on a team. You always need redundancies
Wouldn't her wings get in the way during sex?
she had the mace of anti-magicplothaxx
>>151738899Superman actually jobbed less in JL cartoon than he usually does in team-up situations
>>151739083Came here to post this.
>>151740059I should hope so, otherwise what's the point?
