WARNING: The following article contains spoilers for the second episode of Titans, “Hawk and Dove,” streaming now on DC Universe.


The second episode of Titans, which debuted last week on DC Universe, introduced viewers to another chapter from Dick Grayson's past as he turned to his former friends, vigilantes Hawk and Dove, hoping they might care for troubled teen Rachel Roth. Colored by feelings of love, guilt and jealousy, the tense reunion helped to highlight Dick's increasingly violent tactics, but it also may have revealed something -- or, rather, someone -- else: Donna Troy.

The DC comics hero, who's been known over the decades, alternately as Wonder Girl, Darkstar and Troia, was confirmed in August to appear in the first season of Titans; the title of the ninth episode even bears her name. And, as we noted last week, Donna pops up on Dick's cellphone contacts list, which of course means he already knows her as the season begins. However, if we look closely in "Hawk and Dove," we may also see her.

From the Titans episode "Hawk and Dove"

There's a photo hanging on the wall of the Washington, D.C. apartment of Hank Hall (Alan Ritchson) and Dawn Granger (Minka Kelly) that captures the two of them with Dick (Brenton Thwaites) in happier times, presumably about four years earlier. But there's a fourth person in the snapshot that looks an awful lot like Conor Leslie, the Blacklist alum rumored to be cast as Donna Troy.

Introduced in 1965 as Wonder Woman younger sister, Donna Troy (then going by the name Wonder Girl) joined Robin, Kid Flash and Aqualad in the nascent Teen Titans. However, she soon underwent the first in a series of revamps that established her as a non-Amazon orphan rescued by Wonder Woman, raised on Paradise Island, and imbued with superpowers. When Wonder Woman’s own origin was rebooted in the 1980s, in the wake of Crisis on Infinite Earths, Donna’s ties to the Amazons were erased, and her backstory changed, and then changed again, and again.

The second episode of Titans isn't the last we've seen of Hawk and Dove, naturally. As Ritchson explained to CBR at New York Comic Con, the series will detail the duo's origin in the 10th episode. If Leslie's IMDb.com entry can be believed, that episode will overlap with Donna Troy's arc, which suggests we may catch up with the hero both in the present and four years or more in the past, around the time that photo was taken.


Now streaming on DC Universe, Titans stars Brenton Thwaites as Robin, Anna Diop as Starfire, Teagan Croft as Raven, Ryan Potter as Beast Boy, Alan Ritchson as Hawk, Minka Kelly as Dove, and Lindsey Gort as Amy Rohrbach. A new episode debuts each Friday.
