COMIC LOVE: Hawkgirl and Hawkman

Hawkman Companion (2008) author Doug Zawisza put out this article on Comicosity almost two years ago. One of the great things about the characters of Hawkman and Hawkgirl is their love for each other. Doug's article goes into detail about their relationship. Definitely an article every Hawkman and Hawkgirl fan should check out! COMIC LOVE: Hawkgirl and Hawkman by Doug Zawisza 

A 'Hawk'-eyed Easter Egg: Does Hawkman Appear In 'Justice League'?

Personally, I think this is grasping at straws, but this has been brought up so many times on numerous sites, so it's worth checking out at least. Some fans are saying that it appears that there are what "may be", " but we're not real sure", but "it just might be" Thanagarians flying way, way, waaaaaayyy in the back of a battle scene in the Justice League movie. 

"In the above shot, we see an Amazonian leaping into action, while just to the left of their head you can see a little flash of white wings. So what, big deal, and who even are the Thanagarians? Well, when you consider that some of the most famous members of the species include Hawkman and Hawkgirl, this could mean big news for the ranks of the Justice League. While the picture may look like nothing..."

So there is is. Check out the Link HERE on the GEEKs site and see the GIF for yourself? What do you think? 

 "Clearly Justice League will set up the plans for a larger team and a roster that could include Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter, and Hawkman. While Hawkman is one of #DC's lesser-known heroes and the studio clearly expanding their film slate, never say never to a Hawkman solo-film. If not, a winged wonder would still make a great addition to any of DC's upcoming #superhero films."

A Hawkman Fan's Review of Justice League 2017

   After months of trailers, news, reviews (mostly negative), and trying unsuccessfully to avoid all spoilers, I finally was able to watch Justice League on November 23rd, opening day in Japan. Here is my review and feelings about the film and the whole experience. This article is SPOILER RICH, so if you haven’t seen the movie yet, stop reading!  
   DC Comics is hardly ever seen in the area where I live in Japan. I have never seen a comic book displayed in a bookstore, the nearest Toys’R’Us store with slim DC hero selections is a two-hour drive away, and Marvel has totally outdone DC in almost every area in Japan. So, it was quite a thrill walking into the theater, seeing the Justice League displays, and seeing all the DC merchandise behind the counter and for the first time ever in Japan, seeing a DC book with Hawkman on the cover. This definitely got my adrenaline flowing. 

15 Canceled DC Movies We’ll Never Get To See (Screen Rant)

Sigh... Article from Screen Rank (Link)

Michael Shanks as Hawkman from Smallville

Hawkman is, easily, one of the most confusing heroes in DC’s line-up. The character is full of contradicting backstories, powers and motivations. Yet DC nearly moved ahead with a movie with the confusing hero at the center back in 2011, putting him ahead of other more popular characters like Wonder Woman, Aquaman and The Flash.The logline for the movie was nearly as complicated as the character itself being described, as “Indiana Jones meets The Da Vinci Code meets Ghost.” This makes slightly more sense when it’s considered that Carter Hall AKA Hawkman has usually been depicted as a constantly reincarnated hero that dates back to Ancient Egypt.Still, unsurprisingly, the movie never moved past the development stage. Carter Hall’s only live-action appearances amount to two very underwhelming television roles on Legends of Tomorrow and Smallville. Some things work better on the page than the screen and, for now, Hawkman seems to be one of them. 

Desire for a Comic Book

In this day and age
Of superheroes taking the stage
Flying across the screen
Making us feel like we're fifteen

That's swell and all
Seeing our heroes in a brawl
Fighting to save us
From a villain so monstrous

But don't think we need
Nor will we stampede
To blockbusters and a trilogy
For us to experience an epiphany

It may seem so great and fine
To see our heroes shine
But we find ourselves with a dream
However ironic it may seem

Not on screen or Internet
That's not where we met
Of our heroes we got our first look
On the pages of a comic book

Just once in a while
It would give the greatest smile
To run to the comic stands
And hold our hero in our hands

15 Cool Hawkman Facts You Never Knew

Here's a list of 15 things that most Hawkman fans already know, but might come to a surprise to the casual Hawkman follower. And there are a lot more surprising facts about Hawkman besides these but here's CBR.com's list. Article Link

This is a photo that was posted online from a comicon a few years back. Brin Londo made part of the costume but I'm not sure who made this amazing display.

Hawkman Learns the Language of the Birds (Flash Comics No. 23)

One of my favorite stories from the Golden Age is Flash Comics No. 23 by Gardner Fox and Sheldon Moldoff. In this issue, Hawkman is rescued by an old hawk named One Eye. The hawk takes Hawkman to the "secret nesting place of the hawks", and while recuperating, he learns the language of the birds. During the final battle, One Eye sacrifices himself to save Hawkman. At the end of the story, the hawks elect Hawkman as their new "chieftain". 
It amazes me how much story Gardner Fox could tell in just nine pages!

Metal 101: Reviewing How DARK NIGHTS: METAL Fits In The DCU Timeline

Catching up on where we are in the Metal event. Lots of Hawk references! Article Link

Sometime in the mid-20th Century, Hawkman and Hawkgirl were so obsessed by the strange Nth Metal and the stories they've been told that they formed a team of scientists and adventurers to study it all. Included in the group was the Blackhawks, the Challengers of the Unknown, Red Tornado, and the Metal Men.Hawkman operated from Blackhawk Island, a place in a hidden pocket from space-time. It took him decades to build the technology needed, but he and his friends eventually were ready to send a team to the "other side" by utilizing Nth Metal.

How A Hawkman Villain Might Be the Key to Dark Nights: Metal

Very little has been teased about the future of Hawkman, but from the few details we have, it’s possible that the version of the character that Geoff Johns established over a decade ago is coming back. The Hawkman on the cover of Hawkman Found looks like Johns’ Hawkman. Kendra Saunders has returned. And now Onimar Synn is back.We don’t know where or when the answers to Metal, the Dark Multiverse, or Hawkman will all be answered, but the reappearance of Onimar Synn could play a major role in connecting everything.

Hawkman Movie Scenario by Tim Board

With the Justice League movie coming out this week, I am reminded of the movie scenario I came up with for Hawkman (Carter Hall and Katar Hol), Hawkgirl (Shiera Saunders) and Hawkwoman (Shayera Thal). I wanted to come up with a scenario that would include all four characters but somehow bring them together, so this is what I came up with. Just having a bit of fun but something to build on! Let me know what you think.

Terri Fox Shares a Childhood Memory of Her Grandfather, Gardner Fox

One of our members of Hawkworld is Terri Fox, the granddaughter of Gardner Fox, the creator of Hawkman. She shared a childhood memory with the group today. She gave me permission to share it with everyone and since today is the anniversary of Hawkman's debut 78 years ago, here it is! 

Hi. I just wanted to share a story about Gardner Fox, if you don’t mind. He was my grandfather. When I was 9 years old he came to Grandparents Day at school. He went to law school but found the practice unfulfilling. He told my class that he watched a bird 🦅 di  dive and snatch something from the ground- and he thought that’s what Justice should look like. Hawkman was published just six months before my father was born.

Hawkman: Still Flying After Seventy-Eight Years

By Tim Board

Revelation often comes with a thunderclap, and forces one to take notice. Sometimes it comes quietly, during a quiet afternoon, with a casual view out the window, a small bird, and a tiny twig. Whether it starts with a loud shout or a quiet flutter, a revelation can become something that grabs hold and never lets go. Starting with Gardner Fox’s inspiration in the late 1930s, a character quietly came into existence and even after seventy-eight years, with the amazing creativity and talents of many writers and artists, it still thrives to this day.
