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.
