Smallville Hawkman vs. Arrowverse Hawkman: Which Was Better?

CBR.com put out an article comparing the Smallville and Arrowverse versions of the DC superheroes. Hawkman made No. 6 on the list and they chose the Smallville version played by Michael Shanks as the better Hawkman. Smaville's Hawkman only appeared in four episodes, while Falk Hentschel's Hawkman appeared in nine episodes (seven Legends, one Arrow, one, Flash).
I'll have to agree with CBR's decision. The storyline, the writing, the costume were all much better than Arrowverse did. In my personal opinion, the writing and the way the show used Hawkman was an insult and left me wishing they had never used Hawkman in their horrid show. Hawkgirl wasn't much better as they had her useless unless she had a man to cling to. Because of their costumes, the Hawks are going to be hard to pull off but hopefully, someday they will receive the proper treatment from writers who know what they are doing.
Falk Hentschel as Hawkman and Ciara Renee as Hawkgirl did a great job with what they were given. I wouldn't mind these two showing up as the Hawks together again someday, as long as the writers of Arrowverse are nowhere near the project.

How a Boy Fell in Awe with Hawkman

It's the end of the day, middle of the night actually, I can't sleep so here I am. You know how you lie awake at night, thinking about the past, remembering things sort of vaguely, when one moment kind of latches on and you start remembering details you forgot about. What is this about? It's about Hawkman, of course!

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
