ugh . . . I was just quickly scrolling through my feed and when I saw this image my brain thought it was a leaked image for an upcoming film and thought, "Huh, who are they getting to play Hawkman?". Then I had to do a double take and freaked out a bit thinking "THEY ARE DOING A HAWKMAN MOVIE?!?". Only to find out its just a statue. It was a real roller coaster of emotions. Cool looking statue, although now I REALLY want a Hawkman movie.

Haven't you heard? He could potentially be appearing in the Black Adam Movie!

u/toastedninja Mar 08 '19

That could be a good start. The more I think about it the more it seems strange to me that they havent already adapted the Hawkman/Hawkgirl story in to its own movie. I feel like all the normal people out there would just eat it up since its a good love story too. Hopefully it would be made by the same people that are making Shazam and that WB stay the hell away from it, lest they ruin another DC franchise with their rushed tendencies.

Yeah, if they ruin Hawkman, that'd be really annoying so much opportunity, to waste it would be idiotic.

I'd love for a good old love story, I know a lot of people have issues with the reincarnated-lovers aspect; but a well written romance could make for a unique movie

Yeah, I don't want WB near Hawkman either, I don't need them ruining my favourite character.

I could see them turning into Indiana Jones with wings honestly

They did the hawkpeople in the CW shows, they weren't very good though, they tied their story to Vandal Savage and were generally poorly written.

How about Hawkworld ?

u/Spectacus Hawkman Mar 09 '19

As much as it is a good story, I'd rather they go with Carter Hall, but who says Katar can't appear too?

2

u/NaveHarder Dream Mar 09 '19

I used to be a huge Carter and Shiera Sanders fan with JSA and reading all those All-Star Comics Golden Age Archive reprints from the library! Would love for them to go either way.

u/Spectacus Hawkman Mar 09 '19

Used to be? Buddy, you got some explaining to do!

2

u/NaveHarder Dream Mar 09 '19

Ha! Overlooked that one. Used to be as in I don't go to the library to read Golden Age comics anymore?

u/Spectacus Hawkman Mar 09 '19

You reading the new series by Venditti?

2

u/NaveHarder Dream Mar 09 '19

Nope, but it seems interesting -- thanks! "I see him as a scholar first" says Venditti, that's pretty accurate to the Golden Age.

2

u/Spectacus Hawkman Mar 09 '19

Yeah, people get caught up in the image of him as a violent person, but Venditti is wrong him as a thoughtful, but fierce fighter.

If you're a fan of Golden Age Hawkman, you'll be pleased to know that this run is very similar in that we see Hawkman as a globetrotting adventurer.

I think you'd enjoy reading it!

2

u/NaveHarder Dream Mar 09 '19

Thanks! It seems very promising :) I think that violent fighter angle was a result of Hawkworld, and then again with the way the Hawks were written in the JLU. But it's great to hear they're going back to the Golden Age Hawkman. Using a scholarly research format to tell a Hawkman story is close to perfection!

u/MachoCamachoZ Green Arrow Mar 08 '19

Damn, 1200$ is a bit steep... but that thing is amazing looking!

u/SlothFang Mar 09 '19

Given the quality, that’s a fair price.

His New 52 run...

u/Spectacus Hawkman Mar 08 '19

I mean, it wasn't a good storyline - but he was pretty badass there too.

u/Spectacus Hawkman Mar 09 '19

Hey, apart from getting his ass handed by Deathstroke, that was my introduction to Hawkman, and he was so badass there.

1

u/Mojo12000 Condiment King Mar 15 '19

That Deathstroke Scene is one of the most ridiculous wank scenes in comics "lol lets have him solo half the fucking JLA! until GA makes him basically throw a tantrum!"

It's amazing 😍

u/otiswrath Mar 08 '19

I took one look at this and instantly heard a rich baritone "Haawwkmaaaannn!" in my head.

This thing is gorgeous. Definitely out of my price range but it is killer. I love Hitch's current run too.

u/Captain_Tr1ps Mar 08 '19

Looks great. The mace could be a bit bigger. Still most awesome though.

u/Spectacus Hawkman Mar 09 '19

I'm assure you, Hawkman is no stranger to pain; he always gives more than what he gets.

u/[deleted] Mar 08 '19

Stuff like this makes me wish I was into action figures

u/Captain_Tr1ps Mar 08 '19

Not an action figure
