Aldis Hodge Cast as Hawkman!

September 25, 2020 will go down as a day to remember in Hawkworld history as the first actor to play the live-action Hawkman for the silver screen was announced. After many months of rumors and speculations, Aldis Hodge was confirmed by numerous sources and finally the actor himself to be the Winged Wonder for the upcoming Black Adam movie.  The announcement came as a surprise to many fans and there was an immediate interest in the topic and Hawkman was even trending on Twitter for a while, something that this Hawkman fan has never seen before.

 While my Hawkman collection is nowhere near to some of the amazing collections by other fans, I'm slowly building it up. I rearranged it a bit yesterday. Fun to look at, fun to share, and fun to continue collecting. 

Hawkgirl Ukiyo-e by Kota Nakatsubo

This is a ukiyo-e art piece by ukiyo-e artist Kota Nakatsubo. Ukiyo-e is a famous style of Japanese art which was popular during the 17th to 19th centuries. The use of hawks, clouds, feathers, and even the mace as the sun is beautifully creative. 

There are three panels with writing on the right of the picture. The white panel says "鷹" (taka、ou) which means hawk and "女" (onna, jo) which means woman. 

The red panel is very interesting. It is a "yojij yukugo" (四字熟語) or in English, a four-letter compound idiom. A good example would be "isseki nichou" (一石二鳥) which means "one stone two birds." 
In this ukiyo-e, the four letters in the red panel says "gi yuu nin kyou" (義勇任侠). 
義 (gi) means justice or righteousness.
勇 (yuu) means bravery.
任 (nin) and 侠 (kyou) together mean "unable to ignore the suffering of others."
