In the wake of the deaths of the Earth 2 versions of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, three new heroes must step up to become their world's greatest protectors. Alongside Jay Garrick's Flash and Alan Scott's Green Lantern, we now have Hawkgirl - who has actually yet to appear in any form in the New 52 until now..
Series writer James Robinson tells CBR that this Hawkgirl will step into the "great detective" role left vacant by Batman..
"I'm excited for readers to see this new Earth 2 version of Hawkgirl. As the co-creator of the original Kendra Saunders, I've taken pains to keep the essence of her personality while adding a more two-fisted quality to her as well. I'm also enjoying developing another aspect to her, in that with the absence of Batman, she must also step up and become the great detective of Earth 2. I hope readers will enjoy watching her find her place in this new world as a part of this new team of heroes."
Earth 2 #4 hits stores in July.
