"Hawkman not being in Dark Nights: Metal #1 also makes the character come off as a much greater legend."
"Dark Nights: Metal #1 also does a great job in building up Hawkman and Hawkwoman as intriguing characters. As important as the characters are to DC’s history both Hawkman and Hawkwoman have had a tough time gaining a big following. A lot of that has to do with the fact that the Hawk’s have incredibly complicated histories that makes them hard to grasp."
"Seeing how both Hawkman and Hawkwoman have been leading an organization known as “The Immortals” that includes the likes of Ra’s Al Ghul added to what Batman is doing. This fact instantly creates interesting in the role of Hawkman and Hawkwoman, two characters that I’ve never been interested in. Snyder clearing up a lot of the confusion that surrounds both characters has been a big plus in giving the characters some momentum. Their role in all of this is still a mystery as they seem to be on the opposite side of the same board that Batman is playing on."
"...one of the other central characters, Hawkman, is a more unusual choice. Although the character was popular when he debuted in 1939 during the Golden Age of comic books, he's experienced more of a downturn recently, not helped by his often confusing history." Click for Article!

"Though I’ve never been a big Hawkman fan it is intriguing to see how the Nth metal his weapons are built on factor into what Batman is doing. My hope is that Dark Days: Metal will finally give Hawkman a clear foundation to garner a bigger fan following. So far he, along with Hawkwoman, has been a character that has been held back by his confusing history. So Dark Days: Metal may be the opportunity to give a clear direction for the Hawk brand."
