Funko Pop Releasing Hawkgirl (Superman) Figure on July 11!

 

It's getting released all over the Internet, but it appears that Funko Pop will be released a Hawkgirl figue based on the upcoming Superman movie. It's a limited edition (5000), and I heard that they don't ship overseas.  I'll have to check on that shipping news because that would be disappointing. I may have to find a friend to pick up one for me or pay for it at several times the cost on ebay. Due out on July 11!

Merced also mentioned that audiences won’t learn much about Hawkgirl in Superman because “James isn’t showing all his cards,” but that we will see her again in Peacemaker.

"New Origin of the DC Universe": Screwing Up Hawkman. Again.

 

Back in March, DC Comics announced a new 4-issue series called the "New History of the DC Universe." DC "superfan" Mark Waid would write the history and several top artists would be doing the artwork for the series. This would be a massive undertaking and I wondered how they would handle Hawkman and Hawkgirl's history, if they even cover it at all. 

The first issue came out on June 25. And wow... I was shocked at several things  as I read the book. I don't know about the other charcters, but if Hawkman and Hawkgirl are any indication, this book is an absolute mess. The art is great but they totally screwed up or tried to change the history of the Hawks and even contradicted themselves with their own endnotes. As a Hawkfan, I have questions and also need to set some things straight for those who were as confused as I was and came here for some clarity. There are spoilers ahead and if you still want to read it after that intro, come back after you have read it.

The History of the Live-Action Hawkman and Hawkgirl.

Since 1979, Hawkman and Hawkgirl have gradually entered the live action scenes of superheroes. While they have yet to get their own mainstream feature, they have have several versions over the years. In my opinion, they have yet to get it right, but maybe someday we will get a movie studio, director, producer, writer and actor who love the characters and do their best to bring us an accurate version that will thrill true Hawkfans. We haven't seen that happen yet but I'm sure it will happen someday.  In the meantime, I've gathered together all of the versions that I've come across over the years. I hope you enjoy the flight!


Thirty-nine years ago, on January 19 and 26, 1979, NBC broadcast "Legends of the Superheroes", a two-part special with several DC heroes and villains. This was also the show that gave us our first live-action Hawkman. Do you know how many men and women have played Hawkman and Hawkgirl over the years? While live-action Batman actors are almost too numerous to count, the number who have played the Winged Wonders on silver or small screens have been few and far between. Let's take a look at the actors who have played the Hawks over the years.

Have a Question about Hawkman or Hawkgirl?

Have a question about Hawkman or Hawkgirl?
Ask me anything about Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Hawkwoman, or anything else related to Hawkworld! I’ll do my best to answer and post the question and answer here on Hawkworld.org!


jgarmann99: Hi, the Johns run is about to be omnibussed (is that a word?),is that a good starting point? Thanks.
The Geoff Johns run has been released several times in different formats over the years. Not sure why they are doing it yet again. The best starting point is Robert Venditti's Hawkman series. It's in 28 issues or 4 trades. Here's a list of all the trades and ominbuses with all the contents listed. 
Jet-Let4606: Whats your favourite Hawk story? Do you prefer the alien warriors or the reincarnation origins? Do you like where the franchise is currently?
I have many favorite stories; Hawkworld Vol. 1 (1989), Legend of the Hawkman (2000), The Return of Hawkman (JSA No. 23-25, 2001), and the entirety of Hawkman Vol. V (201802021).
I have no favorite version, but I wouldn't mind seeing the current Carter Hall set up his base onThanagar. Best of both worlds. 
I love where Venditti left Hawkman and Hawkwoman back together in Hawkman Vol. V. And with Kendra far, far away. Currently, for reasons unknown, Carter is back with Kendra as members of the Justice Society and Hawkwoman on her own at Thanagar. I hope they put Hawkman and Hawkwoman back together soon.

The Story of Shayera Hol/Hawkwoman and Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl

By Tim Board

   Since the release of the Dark Nights Metal series in 2017-18, Hawkfans have been wondering when Hawkman and Hawkgirl were going to get back together. The current Hawkman series kicked off in June 2018, but Hawkgirl was not a part of the series. We saw her in some of her past lives; Chay-ara, Shayera Thal, and Sherra, but we never saw her as Hawkgirl in the first 18 issues. That all changed in the final 11 issues. We also saw Hawkwoman and Hawkgirl face off in the Justice League series (#14-16). This article is to explain who Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman are and their connection to Hawkman.

The Greatest Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman Stories

By Tim Board

Art by Ed Coutts
On April 25, 1941, in All-Star Comics No. 5, Shiera Sanders became Hawkgirl for the first time, and so began the story of one of the most famous and recognizable characters in the history of DC Comics. Hawkgirl may have been a sort of sidekick to Hawkman in the beginning, but she is no man's sidekick now. She is one of the most interesting and powerful characters in comics, with her own set of powers, abilities, and history. I could have gone into her history to celebrate Hawkgirl Day 2020, but this year I thought I would list my favorite Hawkgirl stories. I'm sure every Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman fan has their own favorites, so my apologies in advance if they aren't on the list. I also tried to do a countdown of best stories, but that proved to be difficult since I like them equally. So here are my favorite Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman stories in chronological order. Let us know which is your favorite in the comments!

Celebrating Hawkgirl Day! (April 25)

 Since we started Hawkworld back in 2016, we have celebrated Hawkgirl Day on April 25. Shiera Saunders first appeared as Hawkgirl in All-Star Comics No. 5, which was released on April 25, 1941. Techincally Shiera didn't become Hawkgirl until Flash Comics No. 24, but even then she didn't officially become THE Hawkgirl until later. But she dressed up as Hawkgirl for the first time and helped Hawkman so we consider April 25, 1941 as her debut as Hawkgirl. 
This week, from April 20 to April 25, we'll be putting the spotlight on the different versions of Hawkgirl and Hawkwoman that we've seen over the years.

Hawkwoman in Game Rant Rankings: Best of All-Time and Most Powerful

Art by David Finch

   Game Rant put out a couple of DC heroine rankings this past week and Hawkwoman/Hawkgirl is on both so I thought I'd share! Nothing much is said in the articles, but it's nice to know she is still recognized. I guess that comes with her appearance in the upcoming Superman movie. I'm sure there will be more spotlights coming her way this year. Click the links for the article!
