Hawkgirl is portrayed by Isabela Merced, who appears in the film as part of the 'Justice Gang', a superhero team that also includes Guy Gardner / Green Lantern (Nathan Fillion) and Mister Terrific (Edi Gathegi).
The footage highlights Hawkgirl's winged costume, which reflects elements from her comic book design. The scene is set against a natural outdoor backdrop and appears to emphasize practical effects.

Superheroes, Labubus steal spotlight
Comic fans are embracing the latest showdown between Marvel and DC as their superhero films Fantastic Four and Superman compete for box office dominance, reigniting a rivalry spanning over eight decades. Whether it's the thrill of seeing the comic book superhero The Thing shout "It's clobbering time!" before throwing a punch or watching Superman and his faithful pup Krypto save the day, fans are heading to movie theaters to support their favorite films. "Well, clearly I'm a Marvel fan," Danielle Stroski, who was dressed as the shapeshifter character named Mystique from Marvel's X-Men comics, at the San Diego Comic-Con. "But I have a little white dog at home, so I love me some Superman as well. And I know the little white dog is stealing the show for Superman, so it's going to be close. But I got to go Marvel," she added. The 42-year-old from California predicted Fantastic Four would outperform Superman at the box office. DC fan Lito Loza, dressed as Superboy, voiced his support for Superman. "I've already seen Superman three times, and I'm very, very happy with what James Gunn did with it. It makes me feel hopeful," he said, referring to the director. The filmmakers, meanwhile, encourage fans to support both offerings. "I'm a huge Superman fan. I'm a huge James Gunn fan. I'm thrilled that both of us are coming out this month," director Matt Shakman of Fantastic Four: First Steps told Reuters at the London premiere. "I think we share a lot of similar optimism in our tone and our feeling in the worlds that we're building. And there's room for Superman, there's room for Fantastic Four. I'm thrilled. Go see both," he added. Superman director Gunn, who directed the Marvel film Guardians of the Galaxy, said in an interview in Los Angeles that he grew up reading both Marvel and DC comic books, appreciating their distinct tones. In theatres on July 11, Superman introduced David Corenswet as the Man of Steel. The movie grossed around $173 million globally and $264 million domestically, according to Box Office Mojo. Warner Bros has heavily invested in Superman, aiming to launch a new era at DC Studios under Gunn, named co-CEO, alongside producer Peter Safran. Upcoming projects include a Supergirl film slated for June 2026, a film based on the character Swamp Thing as well as TV shows for HBO Max. Labubus abound It is not only superheroes who have been nestling in the spotlight of late. San Diego Comic-Con proved to be the latest location where the ugly-cute dolls named Labubu have been trending, with fans carrying the plushies globally popularised by celebrities Rihanna, Lizzo, Dua Lipa, and Lisa from the K-pop group Blackpink. The wide-eyed and grinning doll was created in 2015 by Hong Kong artist and illustrator Kasing Lung. In 2019, Lung allowed them to be sold by Pop Mart, a Chinese toy company that sells collectible figurines, often in "blind boxes". "Blind boxes" are sealed boxes containing a surprise item that is usually part of a themed collection. Naomi Galban, from San Diego, waited in line on Sunday at the Pop Mart booth in the San Diego Convention Center for a chance to get her first Labubu. "Every time I go to a Pop Mart store, they're sold out," the 24-year-old told Reuters. She hoped to buy one for her little sister. Emily Brough, Pop Mart's Head of IP Licensing, spoke to Reuters on Thursday about Labubu fans at Comic-Con. "We love to see how fans are personalising it for themselves," Brough said next to the Pop Mart booth. While Brough noted that there were many people with a Labubu strapped to their bags and backpacks at Comic-Con, the doll's popularity did not happen overnight. Labubus had a huge boost in 2019 after Pop Mart began selling them, and in 2024, when Blackpink's Lisa, who is Thai, created a buying frenzy in Thailand after she promoted Labubu on social media. Pop Mart saw sales skyrocket in North America that same year, with revenue in the US in the first quarter of 2025 already surpassing the full-year US revenue from 2024, Pop Mart said. When he created Labubu, Lung gave the character, who is female, a backstory inspired by Nordic mythology. He called her and his other fictional creatures "The Monsters." Diana Goycortua, 25, first discovered Labubu through social media, and before she knew it, it felt like a "game" to try and collect the dolls. "It's a little bit of gambling with what you're getting," the Labubu fan from San Diego said on Sunday while waiting at the Pop Mart booth, concluding that her love for the character made it worth trying blind boxes. Goycortua already has three Labubus, and was hoping to score her a fourth one at Comic-Con. Reuters

James Gunn shares new update on Teen Titans project
James Gunn, co-head of DC Studios, has officially confirmed that the much-discussed Teen Titans live-action film currently has no completed script in development. Despite earlier reports suggesting Ana Nogueira had drafted a screenplay, Gunn clarified that such a script 'doesn't exist' and that she has since shifted focus to writing the studio's Wonder Woman reboot. A script for Teen Titans doesn't exist as of right now. — Home of DCU (@homeofdcu) July 28, 2025 In past comments, Gunn had noted that Nogueira initially submitted a draft in early 2025, which was still undergoing revisions. However, in a recent response to fan questions, he stated that the script remains unfinished and the project is not actively being worked on at the moment. TEEN TITANS has been put on hold to prioritize WONDER WOMAN — DCU Updates (@DCU_Updates) July 28, 2025 The unexpected clarification contradicts prior expectations that Teen Titans would be part of the DCU's Chapter One slate alongside projects like Supergirl and Peacemaker Season 2. According to public updates, the film has now been deprioritized while resources focus on confirmed projects such as Wonder Woman. Although this does not guarantee the project won't return in a later phase, the current status indicates that Teen Titans remains on hold pending further development, or may have been superseded entirely.

James Gunn on Batman and Robert Pattinson: what's next remains to be seen
Robert Pattinson as Batman in Matt Reeves' 'The Batman' DC Studios co-head James Gunn has again clarified that Robert Pattinson's version of Batman, the one featured in director Matt Reeves's The Batman films, will remain separate from the main DC Universe (DCU) continuity. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Gunn stated, 'I've said it before. We've talked about it before, but it's not what's happening right now.' This statement follows earlier reports from Comic-Con 2025, where a Warner Bros. insider told Cosmic Book News that Pattinson would not be brought into the interconnected DCU being developed by Gunn and Peter Safran. That insider comment aligns with what Gunn has consistently said in public. Pattinson's Batman is part of DC's Elseworlds label, which allows for standalone stories outside the shared DC continuity. Meanwhile, the DCU is moving forward with a separate Batman in the upcoming film The Brave and the Bold, which will feature a different actor and storyline. Although Gunn used the phrase 'right now,' suggesting the door isn't permanently closed, no plans have been confirmed to merge the two timelines. Industry speculation suggests future decisions could be influenced by the performance of DCU films, particularly Superman, which has reportedly grossed over $500 million at the global box office. Behind the scenes, some creative differences have surfaced, particularly around Gunn's lighter tonal direction with Superman and whether it would suit a traditionally darker Batman story. However, as of now, Pattinson's Gotham remains entirely separate.
