Hawkgirl was one of the very best things about Justice League, and a lot of that is down to Maria Canals-Barrera's performance as the character during its five year run.

An out and out hero in the series' first two seasons, Hawkgirl's betrayal at the end of the show's second season prompted her resignation from the League, and, when she returned for the beginning of Justice League: Unlimited, her fractured relationship with the her former comrades produced some really emotional content. Notwithstanding the fact that JLU was just a brilliant show with an amazing creative team at its helm, Canals-Barrera did a lot to make Hawkgirl really feel like a sympathetic figure, albeit a badass one at that.

Indeed, the character's interactions with Grundy, Wonder Woman and John Stewart in particular remain a series highlight, and typified the show's undeniably mature feel.
