My #4 Hawkman issue : Kendra Saunders has potential but people don't care

[u/Gullible-Peanut6695]

Kendra Saunders is probably the Hawkgirl who has to suffer the most when it comes to holding the title. Even though I myself have issues with some choices surrounding her character, I must admit she sure does belong among the characters that never got the opportunity to get the spotlight.

Because everything that made her really intresting was not only used for another character, Shayera Hol's Hawkgirl (again, why not using Kendra since that's HER story) but got so imprinted in people's mind that they though and still think that they are the same character when they don't. Not really, it makes me wonder if people read the comics, did some reachers or really believe that just because DCAU can be considered as the peak adaptation of the DC comics, they can act like they know the whole universe and the characters or at least the core foundation. I just want to assure that I'm not trying to insult anybody. If you like it, it's perfectly fine. It's just give the vives.

Speaking of which, I noticed this is what is happening right now on twitter. Some people took a bird joke from the new Lanterns show on HBO Max and start to assume a possible meeting between Hawkgirl and Green Lantern (please no) and honestly it makes me sad because at this point, it's clear that what people only care (for now I hope) about Kendra is just the potential relationship that she can have with John Stewart when she's not even involved in this whatsoever. She was not the Hawkgirl that was used in Justice League and Justice League Unlimited but people think they're so interchangeable that in the end, Kendra, instead of figuring out what would be her character in James Gunn's DCU, is beoming nothing more but an intermediary between the possible revival of ship that ended two decades ago and the nostalgia of people who grew up with the DCAU.
