Hawkgirl has a comic book history stretching to the 1940s, but she's only become a silver screen star this year with 2025's "Superman." There, the character (as played by Isabela Merced) is part of a "Justice Gang" along with Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi) and Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion).

The trio are relatively more ruthless in their crimefighting compared to Superman (David Corenswet), and Hawkgirl might be the most bloodthirsty of all. Her spotlight moment is when she throws the corrupt Boravian President Vasil Ghurkos (Zlatko Burić) to his death. Merced's Hawkgirl has since cameoed on "Peacemaker" season 2 , so there's little doubt she'll keep popping up throughout the DC Universe. Will she get her own movie or TV show eventually? TBD.
