Thak you! Just wanted to tell you that Robinson anounced that Hawkgirl will be part of Earth 2. I remember this site was in the past dedicated to her also.



DC Comics

Earth 2 features an alternate world of DC Comics' greatest superheroes, such as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

Earth 2, penned by James Robinson with art by Nicola Scott, presents an alternate Earth to the main DC Universe, with different versions of DC characters, different costumes, different personalities and different origins.

So Robinson has all that to do, plus building similarities of that Earth to the one current DC fans know and love, making tweaks and creating a history of Earth 2 that led to those changes.

"I enjoy writing those characters," Robinson says. "Hawkgirl, too, has a distinct personality, and a brusque, fun way of handling situations and handling Jay's lack of experience.

"We'll actually get the fine points of her origin and some of the other characters a little bit down the line as flashbacks and revelations.

This is great news Oracle! Thank you for the tip! This could indeed signal the return of the Winged Wonder to this blog! I am really excited about Earth-2 and what it has to offer.

Jose: DC showed the cover of Earth 2 4 with Hawkgirl in the spotlight. Sadly, she is not a redhead. I wished it would be Sayera. Now the Hawkgirl story is going to be even more complicated.

I saw the cover this morning. I am pretty bummed this is not Shayera, but there is still hope. The new Hawkgirl looks pretty badass, and there is the possibility that a Hawkwoman could be introduced in the main New 52 World.
