Shayera Thal: The Most Tragic Heroine in DC Comics History

   In 1989, comics fans were introduced to a new Hawkwoman in the Hawkworld series by Tim Truman. Shayera Thal was unlike any Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman we had ever seen in the 50 years since her debut in the 1940s. This Hawkman was brash, hot-tempered, and usually hit first before she thought to ask questions. She definitely kept Katar Hol/Hawkman on his toes and they often clashed over their very different ways of approaching a problem. She disappeared from comics in 1996, returned briefly in the mid -2000s before her death in the Rann-Thanagar War. Even after 20 years, Shayera remains one of the fans' favorite characters in the history of Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman.

Finding an Actor for Hawkman in the DCU

15 Actors Perfect for the Role of Hawkman in the DCU 

As the DCU really gets rolling, movie fans are speculating who will join the DCU next and Hawkman is one of the characters that many fans want to see in the new universe. We just had Aldis Hodge as the first ever movie version of Hawkman in Black Adam in 2022, but who will be the next? 

For years, my personal choice for Hawkman has been Alexander Skarsgard, and I still think he would be a great Hawkman. Check out Tarzan or The Northman and you'll get a good idea of how perfect he would be for the role. 

I just came across an article that lists 15 actors who would be good for Hawkman and some of them are pretty good choices. I still stand by Alexander Skarsgard but Luke Evans has me wondering how awesome he would be in the role. 

What do you guys think? Do you have a choice for an actor who would be great as Hawkman? Seeing how James Gunn has casted so far, it will probably be someone that surprises us all when it happens.

Finding Hawkman and Hawkgirl After Each DC Crisis Event

   This year marks the 40th anniversary of the famous, or infamous depending on your point of view, Crisis on Infinite Earths (COIE). Since then, there have been several crisis events to restructure the DC Universe. While it may be all and good for DC Holy Trinity of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, the "lesser" heroes of the DC Universe have often forgotten and made even more complicated than before.
