And Hawkgirl may be a great character, but the fact that she's a favorite of the writers comes through in the how she's portrayed as The Tick of the team.  She seems to be able to do anything the writers want her to do.For example, in the "evil Justice League" episode, they knock out the League with electricity.  Right now, the spectre of lazy writing raises its ugly head when you think about the amount of electricity it would take to subdue Superman and apply that to The Flash and Batman (Hey, what's that burning smell?  <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/devious.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":]" title="Devious    :]" data-shortname=":]" /> ).  However, Hawkgirl shrugs off the voltage that lays low Superman!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> And then later in that episode you have Luthor and his "anti-super power ray" (or whatever it's called).  Talk about lazy writing.  That killed most of my interest in the show and really showcased the problems with the series, IMO: The solution to the crisis is handled as an afterthough.  Luthor has a ray that will take away the powers of altered humans (the Flash), magical beings (Wonder Woman), all types of aliens (Superman, Martian Manhunter), and people who use gadgets (Green Lantern)?   Why not just have the Flintstone's Great Gazoo appear and solve everything?And I thought it was bad when, on Super Friends, Aquaman, the Flash, Atom, and even Batman were shown flying.  :\</blockquote>
