something about john and shayera being the shortest two of the justice league and dating each other is so special to me
#on one hand that’s really cute <3#on the other hand if u view height as one of the traits of a Superhero Looking Heroic it’s interesting that these two are the shortest#like yeah duh shayera does betray the JL#but also john is lowkey divorced from his civilian identity? like he feels like an outsider in that episode where he’s walking down the#streets of his hometown?#so their heights are not only just a visual choice but also a metaphor about their vulnerabilities?#they’re both heroes but they also sometimes feel divorced from that identity#and so their heights—usually used to consolidate a hero’s design as Yes This Is A Hero#(see Henry Cavill as Superman or any other 6 foot something guy cast as a superhero)#—are subtly divorcing them from their heroic identies#whether that’s intentional or not (probably unintentional tbh considering that heigh differerwnce isn’t really that noticiable when#everyone has the same body type in the timmverse) it’s just fascinating to me <3#does this make sense#hawkgirl#hawkwoman#green lantern#dc#justice league#jlu#jl#bruce timm#shayera hol#john stewart
