Sizzle Reels Show Both Arrow and Flash With Some Sizzle!
Quick, wicked trailers for the new seasons of Arrow and The Flash were shown off at New York Comic-Con this past weekend, and both are pretty neat. We’ve already seen some of these teases in earlier trailers, but there’s still a lot of cool, new stuff.
Flash
Arrow
I saw the first episodes last week, and both were very good. I’m definitely looking forward to the coming seasons. I still kinda miss Roy Harper on Arrow, but we’ll see how Thea steps up as the new Red Arrow. And here’s hoping The Flash can pull off alternate dimensions. That stuff gets pretty tricky.

New TV Show Trailers for Everybody!
When did TV show trailers become a thing? I completely understand them, expect them and enjoy them…but did they not simply creep up into our lives like a silent ninja? Did they not just appear suddenly and act like they’d always been here? I don’t remember any trailers for new seasons of Family Matters…
At any rate, enough grousing! Let’s enjoy some fun trailers for Arrow and The Flash, both of which seem like they’re going to embrace their comic book roots in the new seasons!
Green Arrow, Jay Garrick, Atom Smasher, other stuff; this is going to be a fun television season!

DC Still Has No Faith in Hawkman’s Chest
The first picture of the new Hawkman and Hawkgirl from the Arrowverse has arrived, and just like in Smallville a few years ago, the good people at DC and The CW are making sure that Hawkman’s manly, muscular chest is covered up. It’s probably for the best, but still…Hawkman!
The wings are probably CGI
At least he’s still got the mace!
I think I like the costumes. They’re definitely along the lines of the Flash and Green Arrow costumes, and that’s a definite plus. It’s a good look — though those helmets do look slightly silly.
Hawkgirl will be played by Ciara Renee, and Hawkman will be played by Falk Hentschel. DC is apparently sticking with the ‘reincarnated Egytpian lovers’ origin for the Hawks instead of something more modern and realistic. More power to them.
At this point, I don’t remember which shows the two are going to appear on. I’m sure they’ll make the rounds everywhere they can before settling on Legends of Tomorrow.

Epic Arrow Trailer is Epic
The first trailer for the next season of Arrow has hit the Internet, and it’s pretty neat! We’ve got Oliver Queen, Speedy, Diggle’s new costume, some bad guys, some action, Felicity’s new sidekick and some awesome Felicity stuff! It’s everything you could want!
Looks pretty awesome! I’m excited for the new season, but there are so many superhero shows these days, especially spinning off from Arrow, that it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Still, I’m excited to see what they do with Speedy.

Once Again, Hawkman is Coming to a Live Action DC Show Before Batman, Wonder Woman or Superman
We all know that Hawkgirl is going to be one of the stars of the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow show. Well apparently, DC Comics and The CW are also going to bring her paramour, Hawkman, into the universe with her! Actor Falk Hentschel has been cast as Hawkman, to appear on Arrow and The Flash!
He was hired for his chest, right?
How insane is this? Believe you me, I’m all in favor of expanding The CWverse. But Hawkman? For reals? They’re gonna try to make Hawkman work?!
Remember when he appeared on Smallville?
Not hired for his chest
Hawkman is an inherently silly character. And why couldn’t Hawkgirl stand on her own? Why does she need Hawkman to show up too? I suppose that’s just nit-picking. I’m gonna love seeing both of them when they appear! (Also in random Hawkman news, I totally bought a Hawkman LEGO mini-fig at Boston Comic-Con this weekend! Woot!).
Also, once again, a live action DC TV show (universe) gets Hawkman before it gets Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman, just like in Smallville. This is a pretty backwards way of thinking.
This also means my hopes of adding the Wonder Twins to The CWverse just got a lot brighter!
