Connor Hawke is the son of Oliver Queen and Sandra "Moonday" Hawke. He is best known for his role as the Green Arrow, taking on the mantle upon his father's death and continuing as the Green Arrow after his resurrection. Connor was raised by his mother, and struggled in school due to being bullied for being mixed race (his mother is Black and Korean and his father is white). At around age thirteen Connor was able to talk his mother into letting him move to a Buddhist Ashram that his father had once stayed at, and there Connor entered the care of Master Jansen, learned martial arts and archery, and became a Buddhist monk. It was at the Ashram that Connor decided to continue the Green Arrow legacy. While serving as the Green Arrow, Connor teamed up with the Green Lantern Kyle Rayner and the Flash Wally West, Robin Tim Drake, Cassandra Cain, and the Justice League.
While Connor is most known for his connection to the Arrow family, as this was what was focused on most heavily in Green Arrow Vol. 3- it is important to remember Connor has strong connections outside of the family as highlighted in Green Arrow Vol. 2! These characters include: Sandra "Moonday" Hawke, Nathan Hawke (Connor's "Gran"), Mastern Jansen, Eddie Fyers, Kyle Rayner, Wally West (and his wife Linda), Tim Drake, and Cassandra Cain!
As of June 2022, Connor has been confirmed as asexual, which solidifies his ace coding from both Green Arrow Vol. 2 and 3!

The following issues have an unclear place in Connor's chronology and are presented here in chronological order by publication date:
just hit 100 read comics! here's my current top ten characters
it's pretty incomplete because i've been reading comics on and off for a couple years and only got the app yesterday so i've only logged what i can remember reading 😭 just finished the oracle code graphic novel and will get more babs stuff in there i swear ive just been on a green arrow kick lately 🤞
also bruce being #2 is so funny when im not even really intentionally reading any batman stuff. he's just made ten million cameos in green arrow.
genuinely why do they do this randomly when he's always been mixed and is clearly blasian in his introduction 😭😭 why are there comics where i rely on context clues to differentiate ollie and connor 😭😭
For those who, like me, when they like a character they need to read every single comic the character appears in, I have compiled a list of all of Roy Harper’s appearances from his first team-up with the Teen Titans up to the 2011 Flashpoint reboot (not including New 52 continuity).
And there’s also the extended list (including cameos) as a spreadsheet.
Wow this got out of hand a bit. All the research that went into this. I’m never doing this again but it was fun. Excuse me while I go die. Sorry if it’s a bit blurry, I was working very large.
The Killing of Commissioner Gordon (Guide to Jaybin)
Pre-Crisis: Detective Comics 533
Summary: Bruce and Jason have a heartfelt conversation. Barbara visits her father in the hospital after his heart attack. When hitmen break into the hospital to kill Jim Gordon, Batman and Barbara have to save the unconscious Commissioner.
Jason's Personality/Morals: Jason seems pretty comfortable with Bruce. He's also so tiny, it's adorable. But he was stung by Bruce saying he had no right to wear the Robin costume.
Bruce's Parenting: Actually very good! He apologizes to Jason. Although he never says the word sorry and jumps into explanations, he does say "I want to apologize" and admits that he wasn't acting very well. He tells Jason the most heroic thing anyone can do is to be themself, and gives him a hug. He also says "I hope you'll come to look upon me as your father."
Barbara and Jim: Babs says she was a "tomboy" as a kid. She participated in otherwise all-male activities, including track events such as a one-mile race. Her father was her biggest supporter, and encouraged her to succeed.
Sideplots
This addresses the "Commissioner Gordon's Heart Troubles" side plot.
Selected Panels
I do kind of wonder what wars he's talking about, but yeah.
This panel is so so sweet. Look at how tiny Jason is! And he's clutching Bruce's arms!
But really, "for the first time?" Bruce was literally just talking about his other son. Like two panels ago. *sigh*
