Warning: Potential spoilers for Batman/Santa Claus: Silent Knight #3!Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern join forces to forge the ultimate Birds of Prey roster in DC’s holiday special. This dynamic trio brings their individual strengths and formidable abilities to the forefront, proving to be an even more seamless fit for the iconic team name than the original lineup of founders Black Canary, Oracle, and Huntress.
In the holiday extravaganza of Batman / Santa Claus: Silent Knight #3, by Jeff Parker, Trevor Hairsine, and Michele Bandini, DC’s festive crisis event progresses further with Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern banding together to confront the ominous threat of Krampus, who is unleashing once-captured horrors upon the world including the deadly harpies.
This iconic team-up redefines the legendary all-female superhero team, Birds of Prey. While Diana Prince, Kendra Saunders, and Jo Mullein may not officially claim the team name, there’s an undeniable resonance that Birds of Prey is better suited for their extraordinary trio than the original team of Barbara Gordon, Dinah Lance, and Helena Bertinelli.
Diana Prince, Kendra Saunders, and Jo Mullein Form the Ultimate All-Female Superhero Team
Hawkgirl makes a spectacular entrance in this holiday special, swooping in to shield civilians and military personnel from the relentless harpy onslaught. However, the overwhelming numbers of these mythical creatures prove challenging, even for the formidable Hawkgirl, prompting her to call for her reinforcements with a “Where’s my girls?!” This sets the stage for an epic introduction to DC’s latest all-female superhero team-up as Jo and Diana make their entrance, joining forces with Kendra to combat the harpy forces. Their collective prowess turns the tide against the harpies and showcases the undeniable badassery of a Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern alliance, leaving fans eagerly anticipating more from this formidable team.
While issue number three marks the debut of this powerhouse trio, fans are fervently hoping it won’t be their last collective appearance, eager to see more of this formidable team in action. It’s highly likely that this team-up will make another appearance in the series finale, Batman / Santa Claus: Silent Knight #4, yet fans are also crossing their fingers to see Diana, Kendra, and Jo team up in other comic runs down the line. If the fandom is lucky, Jo and Kendra will come to Diana’s aid to help with the Amazon turmoil featured in Dawn of DC’s ongoing Wonder Woman series, uniting this A-List trio once more.
Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern’s Birds of Prey Lineup is Better Than the Original
This issue proves that Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl, and Green Lantern are better suited for the iconic Birds of Prey team name than the original founding members Oracle, Black Canary, and Huntress. While Dinah may have a bird-related alias, the logic for the original team being called “Birds of Prey” falls short, considering that two of its members lack any bird affiliation and the ability to fly. Conversely, the Birds of Prey moniker resonates seamlessly with Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, and Hawkgirl’s trio, given Kendra’s presence, Diana’s proficiency in the bird-like Harpy language, and the shared ability of all members to take to the skies.
