20 DC Characters Who Could Yet Appear In Arrow And The Flash

4. Hawkgirl

Superman Harley Quinn

Like Rip Hunter, Hawkgirl is another character confirmed for the Arrow/Flash spin-off show. In that series she’ll be being played by Ciara Renee and it will be the Kendra Sanders version of the character.

How Hawkgirl’s powers and abilities are handled would pose a very specific question, but the minds behind the spin-off show would do well to look back at Smallville, with that show’s portrayal of Hawkman, both in characterisation and outfit, being one that won over many slightly worried comic book fans. And there's no real reason why Hawkgirl could not be done just a well here.

As her inclusion in the upcoming spin-off show is confirmed, this is another character who is a near certainty to appear at some point in Arrow and The Flash, and it wouldn’t be at all surprising to see her debut in one of those shows before then becoming a regular part of the new spin-off series.
