In the new series, Saunders is a young woman who is just beginning to learn that she has been repeatedly reincarnated over the centuries. When provoked, her ancient warrior persona manifests itself, along with wings that grow out of her back, earning her the moniker Hawkgirl.

In the original report for the show, it was said that three DC characters who have never appeared on TV before will be apart of this new series, but as Deadline points out, they say Hawkgirl is not one of those characters, as she has appeared in “Smallville,” as well as being a major character in the “Justice League” animated series.
This series is definitely getting more intriguing the more we information we get about it, so stay tuned as we’re sure to learn more about it in the coming months!
