13 Colorful — and Often Weird — HAWKMAN Designs

Hawkman is one of the most iconic characters in all of comics: The wings, feathered helmet, harness, mace and bare chest make him a figure that’s hard to forget. Several years after the Golden Age ended, DC Comics decided to bring back the Flash, Green Lantern and heroes like Hawkman, giving rise to the Silver Age. Those first two received very different looks from their Golden Age counterparts, but Hawkman remained mostly unchanged. Since then, however, the Winged Avenger has had many different costumes. Let’s take a look at some of them: Article Link

DARK NIGHTS: METAL #2 REVIEW

Dark Nights: Metal No. 2 Review
by Kevin Lainez of Comic Book Revolution
"As much as Dark Nights: Metal #2 was about the search for Batman, Snyder did a nice job continuing to build on Hawkman and Hawkwoman’s role in the story. Seeing Kendra interact with the other Immortals of the DC Universe was a good way to re-introduce the Legion of Doom. ...This scene with the Immortals also help build on the mystery of whatever Hawkman is doing with the Challengers of the Unknown. It’s clear with how Kendra mentioned that she destroyed Prince Khufu’s tomb a long time ago that there is more that she and Carter aren’t telling anyone. What that is exactly will make the moment that Hawkman re-appears even more important to the outcome of Dark Nights: Metal."

13 THINGS You Didn’t Know About HAWKMAN

Here's my list of 13 things you didn't know about Hawkman that was posted on 13th Dimension! Intro from Dan Greenfield of 13th Dimension:
"In that spirit, we’ve been spending a lot of time on Hawkman lately — and will continue to in the months to come. For example, did you know that Sept. 9 is International Nth Day? As in, Nth metal? It’s true. It’s the brainchild of Tim Board of the great Hawkworld Facebook group (join here). He’s tweeting Hawkstuff even more than usual (twice an hour) to celebrate the day.Anyway, I’m fairly certain that Tim is the biggest Hawkfan on the planet and he’s here to provide you with 13 THINGS YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT HAWKMAN (though maybe you know some of them). Seven hells, maybe Snyder or Lemire will steal an idea or two from the list. (Keep in mind, we’re talking the Hawkman of multiple, convoluted continuities.)," Article Link

Many other DC Comics characters will appear in the show, including Adam Strange and HawkwomanGeoff Johns confirmed the classic characters' presence in the new show during the Krypton panel at San Diego Comic-ConAdam Strange is an archeologist who was teleported to the planet Rann via the Zeta-Beam. Hawkwoman has had many different iterations over the years, including Shayera Hol and Sharon Parker. Shayera Hol was a Thanagarian warrior reincarnated throughout the ages alongside her Hawkman counterpart Katar Hol. Given that Strange is a representative of Rann while Hawkwoman hails from Thanagar, Krypton could reference the Rann-Thanagar War, as portrayed in the Infinite Crisis event.
