DC Is Taking Over Television
So let's see...there's Arrow, Flash, iZombie, Supergirl, Titans, Legends of Tomorrow, and now Hawkgirl?
SpoilerTV is reporting that the CW is seriously considering giving Ciara Renee's character her own show. They must like what they've seen with her in the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow show set to debut early next year. There's no word on whether the series will take place before or after Legends does, but with her introduction to everyone with that series, it seems probable that they will forgo the whole pilot show and move straight to series.
I was a little surprised to hear about this, but I guess that it really shouldn't. The CW has a few shows that are nearing the end of their run (i.e. Supernatural, The Vampire Diaries) and they are going to be needing programs to take their place. With the success that they've had with both Arrow and Flash, it would make sense that they would look for another hit by going to the DC universe. They also may have chosen Hawkgirl as their go-to girl to compete with CBS' upcoming Supergirl. This choice will also give them a female superhero lead, which is something that television is seriously lacking. This might also help them keep the younger female viewers that they may lose after TVD finishes its run.
So what do you think? Is this a good idea for the CW to make, or is this making things a little too crowded in regards to superheroes on television? Let me know your thoughts on this in the comments section below.
