THE HAWKS !

"Hard to believe. What would someone like me know about love? When I only know it ends and it always ends. In every one of my lives, past and present. Shayera and I were born a thousand years ago. We were cursed by one of our enemies, destined to fall in love with each other only to watch each other die lifetime after lifetime." - Carter Hall

NOTES
- so one thing i should add is there are comics where i found him to be ooc, specifically kevin smith's green arrow run. carter being a republican became canon because post crisis decided to retcon pre crisis katar (the hawkman on the justice league during the silver age) with carter, which added a whole load of complications & inconsistencies to his character. the character in question is written as a blatant caricature with the traits being inconsistent even to pre crisis katar for comedic purposes. it's not a run i'd take seriously but it's the run i've seen most people base him on so!

NOTES
- I refuse to add Justice League Unlimited cause it was a terrible adaptation and the 'Carter Hall' was a delusional idiot named Joseph Gardner who changed his name. Just a very bad take on the hawk lore.
- Carter & Shiera's son, Hector Hall, will be in The Sandman TV show on Netflix
- Make sure to the the Justice Society Files comic series by Cavan Scott as those will be the prequel to Black Adam

- normally I wouldn't add n52 hawkman cause that was so bad, dc cancelled it after 20 issues. but here we are for the sake of continuity. also n52 not acknowledging katar's native american heritage definitely pissed me off.

NOTES
- I am aware of that katar hol was in Justice League Unlimited 3x11 but for the sake of my sanity, I'm not adding that show in here due to the EXTREME lack of comic accuracy that was done to his character. and I'll break it down too cause I just need to rant about this:
1) Katar Hol never crashed his ship in Ancient Egypt. Hawkman's first past life as an egyptian prince was prince khufu, who was also an egyptian pharaoh in real life.
2) Katar Hol was never married to Chay-ara and Chay-ara's last name was not Hol. Chay-ara also wasn't an alien with red hair & green eyes, she was an Egyptian Priestess, and her lover was Prince Khufu
3) Shayera's fiance in Justice League was supposed to be the real katar hol/hawkman but the writers were scared of how fans would react to an evil hawkman so they created an oc to replace him. that still didn't stop them from completely destroying the hawk lore though lmao

Justice League (2018) 14-16, Annual 1 Hawkman (2018) 18-29 Love is a Battlefield , DC's Grifter Got Run Over By A Reindeer
NOTES
- Hawkworld Shayera's last name is thal because that was shayera's maiden name before she married katar hol pre-crisis and post-crisis is a reboot of the hawkwoman character.
- pre crisis shayera went by 'shiera hall' to protect her identity on earth. this can get confusing when reading her stuff before the hawkworld era, as the actual shiera + carter were on earth 2 with the rest of the jsa
- Shayera went by Hawkgirl for a bit during pre-crisis but later changed it to hawkwoman cause she didn't like the name in World’s Finest Comics #272
- n52 was ass which is why i REFUSE to add her stuff in here. Justice League (2018) is terrible for her too but we're stuck with that as canon

NOTES
- I did say that Shayera's last name is hol in the comics because she was married to katar hol, which is true. and another aspect the justice league cartoon got wrong. since they couldn't make katar hol evil for starcrossed cause they were scared of the backlash from comic fans, they created an oc who's name was an anagram of katar hol aka 'hro talak' last minute.
- 3x11 (ancient history) is personally one of my least favorite jlu episodes that not only ruins the hawk lore as a whole but ruined shayera's character for the sake of the john stewart/shayera hol ship. not only did it ruin the lore but the creators themselves were arguing over the events that happened because even they did not have a clear answer for what happened (which is ironic since they created those terrible changes in the first place). anyways i do not recommend, the changes they did to the lore will only confuse and possibly disgust you!
