Shadow of the Hawk
- Shayera plays along with a stalker who claims that she and he are reincarnated lovers until she discovers that he has interfaced with some Thanagarian technology, an Absorbascon
- Green Lantern and Batman try to warn her about trusting the stalker, Batman goes so far as to follow them to Egypt
- the Shadow Thief is the bad guy, although there is an implication that he or the technology he uses are Thanagarian
- on the whole it seems to be a bit lacking in plot
- love the animation, crisp, clean, but the story lacked commitment and as a fave of the reincarnated lovers version of the Hawks I thought it was cruel to dangle the possibility in front of my face
- the only person who truly seemed invested in the lie was Carter Hall, who believed it even though he was the one telling it
- I recall being very disappointed the first time I saw this one and I have a similar feeling now
- Looking ahead I see that Carter Hall and the Shadow Thief will return in Ancient History (3.11)
- Green Lantern does make some reference to the events of the Once and Future Thing (1.13) when he and Batman traveled to the future and met Green Lantern's son (with Shayera) and there is some back and forth with Batman over why GL is dating Vixen now if he wants a future with Shayera
