Hunter’s Moon

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When the Justice League receives a distress call, Hawkgirl, Vigilante and Vixen investigate only to find that it was a trap set out by the remaining Thanagarian warriors who blame Hawkgirl for their loss in the war (as recounted in “Starcrossed”). Likewise, Hawkgirl has to deal with her teammates’ resentments for her betrayal of the Justice League and her own, still lingering self doubts.

Our Take

A solid character episode that finally makes Hawkgirl face the fallout from “Starcrossed” instead of brushing it aside. The space western vibe with Vigilante and Vixen works better than expected, and the action is punchy without overstaying its welcome. Some of the resentment dialogue gets repetitive, but the emotional payoff lands. Worth watching if you’ve been following her arc.
