Holy wowzers, this is cool news! Remember that live action Justice League-esque show that’s going to spin off from The Flash and Arrow? Well apparently The CW has gone ahead and cast Hawkgirl, of all characters! Hawkgirl is going to exist in the Arrow-verse!

According to Deadline, she’s going to be played by up-and-coming actress Ciara Renee.

She looks like Hawkgirls oughta look

I’ve never heard of her, but Deadline has good things to say. Her character will be Kendra Saunders, and they’re going with the origin that she has been reincarnated several times, and now has wings! She’ll be joining the Atom and Firestorm on this new team show. I say she’s a solid addition. Hawkgirl has always had a lot of momentum behind her since the cartoon days, and seeing her in live action could be pretty cool. The world has definitely figured out how to make big, angel wings look awesome on TV. Just look at Constantine.
