Near the end of the second season of Justice League, a character based loosely on the Silver Age Hawkman called Hro Talak (an anagram of Katar Hol) had used Hawkgirl as a scout and he led his Thanagarian forces in an invasion on Earth, after tricking the Earthlings, so that they can sacrifice the planet to defeat the Gordanians. After the Justice League defeated them, they fled Earth. He did not use the name Hawkman.

In Season 2 of Justice League Unlimited, it was revealed that the remainder of the Thanagarian army was attacked by the Gordanians and Hro Talak sacrificed his life to destroy one of their ships leaving those that were with Hro to flee to another planet where they plot revenge against Hawkgirl when she lands in their trap with Vixen and Vigilante.

In Season 3, an actual Hawkman appears in the form of Carter Hall, an archaeologist who takes a liking to Shayera. He had previously discovered Thanagarian technology in an Egyptian tomb, and after exposure to a memory-recording device, came to believe that he and Shayera were the reincarnations of two Thanagarian lovers who had crashed in ancient Egypt. Adopting the name of Hawkman, Hall lead her to the tomb (with Batman secretly following) and revealed his superhero identity. When the evil Shadow Thief attacked, the tomb collapsed, after which Shadow Thief escaped away, and Hawkman departed, still believing that he and Shayera are meant for each other. It is not stated definitively, however, that Hall is actually speaking the truth - it is suggested that he is delusional, and that his mind may have been addled by his exposure to the device.
