Episode Notes
 
The villains the League is fighting off at the beginning of the episode are called the Extremists.
 
Superman and Elongated Man appear but have no dialogue.
 
Originally, the early Thanagarians did not have natural wings. They genetically engineered themselves to acquire them. This is why Hawkman bears a flying harness, the Thanagarian lawmen in the flashback had metal wings, and the mummies of the Thanagarians at the end had no wings. This fact has been confirmed by Dwayne McDuffie to be consistent in the WB animated universe continuity.
 
Carter Hall's first appearance in the DCAU.
 
Justice League Roll Call: Superman, Elongated Man, Batman, Green Lantern, Vixen, and Shayara.
 
 
Episode Quotes
 
Dreamslayer: You think you can stop me with a bubble?!?
Green Lantern: It’s a really good bubble.
 
Green Lantern: Shayera, I wanted to...Judas Priest!
Shayera: Problem?
Green Lantern: No, no. It’s just, uh, I never seen you in a dress before.
 
Shayera: Aliens? Well, then he must be a lunatic because we all know that there's no life on other planets.
Batman: There's more.
Shayera: What?
Batman: Our Mr. Hall spends quite a bit of time on the Internet.
Shayera: Dang, lock him up!
Batman: He frequents the "I Hate Hawkgirl" bulletin boards.
Shayera: That doesn't mean... "boards"? How many are there?
Batman: Fifty-seven. Web rings. Unaffiliated sites number in the hundreds...
Shayera: Forget I asked!
 
Shayera: What?
Carter Hall: I miss the dress.
Shayera: You didn’t miss it last night.
 
Shayera: I'm sorry. I'm not laughing at you. Exactly. I just, I've got the worst taste in men.
Carter Hall: I'm serious, Shayera.
Shayera: I know you are. And I'm in a lost Egyptian tomb with my stalker. The worst part is I'm going to have to listen to John and Batman saying "I told you so."
 
Carter Hall: Who are you?
Shayera: Calls himself the Shadow Thief. He’s a talker.
The Shadow Thief: Unfortunately, she isn’t. At least, not so far.
 
The Shadow Thief: I understand that Thanagarians are stronger than humans. I wonder, how long will you last under my tender care?
Shayera: Knock yourself out, jerk hole.
 
Batman: I’ve never been afraid of shadows.
The Shadow Thief: Now is an excellent time to start.
 
Shayera: How stupid do you think I am?
Batman: Scale of 1 to 10?

Cultural References
 
Shayera: (to Joseph Gardner) It’s your dig, Romeo.

Romeo Montague is the main male character in the famous play by William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet. The name is widely used to depict a man as a passionate and romantic lover. Shayera called Joseph Romeo because they are supposedly on a romantic date.
 
 
Episode References
 
Joseph Gardner

Carter Hall's adopted name is a reference to his creators – Joseph Kubert (artist) and Gardner Fox (writer).
 
The origin of the Thangarians in Egypt is very similar as portrayed in JSA #22-25 the Return of Hawkman storyline.
 
"The Once and Future Thing: Weird Western Tales (1)"

Green Lantern: When we travelled to the future we met my son. Mine and Shayera’s.

Green Lantern and Shayera’s son is Warhawk, who’s a member of the Justice League Unlimited of the future and whom Green Lantern met when they chased Chronos into the future.
 
The closing credits feature clips of the upcoming episode "Chaos at the Earth's Core."
