Yin and Yang—Avatars of Chaos & Order: The Hawk & Dove Appreciation Thread 2019

I'd really love to see DC try and revive a new series for them. Books have been consistently good as of late and they're trying a lot of new things.
I'd like to see what kind of take they'd give them now to stand out. Keep em mystical street fighters? Have them moving over to the magic realm side of things? A mix of the two? Something brand new? It's time to explore.

This. They could totally fill in the niche of Iron Fist/Heroes for Hire/Daughters of the Dragon, with some Cloak & Dagger thrown in for DC. They should be just as equally teaming up with the Bat family, as well as Doctor Fate, and get mixed up with a battle between the lords of Order & Chaos.

A problem with the Hawk and Dove concept (for me) is Hawk. I loved his character in the Kesey books...kicking ass, and taking names...but amiable, and well meaning, if not the brains of the operation. dawn was a very capable counterpoint to his hotheadedness.
But turning him into a cosmic super villain was poorly conceived, and utterly asinine. And since then, his appearances have shown him as a furious, loud mouthed bully...not at all the interpretation of the character that I enjoyed.
DC needs a writer who gets that, and gets him.

I have a spot in my heart for Sasha and Wiley myself.

That stated, they should have had better costumes.

My favorite version of Hawk & Dove were the Granger sisters, and I hope someday Holly will be properly brought back to the DCU.

I don’t acknowledge Holly.

1, Dawn was an only child.
2, Dawn is dead (at least, Pre-Flashpoint).

This poll should have acknowledged Sasha and Wiley instead.

They were H&D ino.

Well, well, my first exposure to Rob Liefeld.

Kesel’s inks make his work here palatable.

Just started watching the Titans show, but I’m confused. Do Hawk & Dove have powers, or not?

[bearman]

Apparently not. They are vigilantes, like Batman and Robin in that universe.
