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!

6 Thoughts on the Third Season of Arrow
The third season of Arrow came to a dramatic conclusion last week, with Oliver Queen making some pretty major decisions about his life. Season 3 has been a rocky one, but I enjoyed the heck out of it. Arrow is still one of my favorite shows on television and you better believe I can’t wait to watch DC’s TV universe get bigger and better.
So much smoldering sexiness!
I’m no good at reviewing TV shows, especially episode-to-episode. So when a season of one of my favorite superhero TV shows is over, I like to do a roundup like this. You can check out my lists for the first and second seasons of Arrow. As for the third season, like I said, I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t as good as the previous season. Could it be because the creative team was split up in order to make The Flash? Who knows!
Join me after the jump to see my thoughts on the third season of Arrow. And feel free to share your own review in the comments below.
Iron Man to Appear on Arrow — Oh No, Wait…
So, uh…here’s the first look at Brandon Routh’s Atom on the TV show Arrow.
The poor man’s Robert Downey Jr.
Remind you of anyone else? Like, in a clearly obvious, almost wincing kind of way? Like, in a way that The CW might be paying more attention to Marvel’s movie success than DC’s?
Keep in mind that the Atom, whose super-power is shrinking, does not wear armor like this in the comic. He wears a normal, ordinary spandex superhero costume. The armor has been created for the show. So…uh…does DC Comics know they’re doing this?
Also, way to put zero effort into protecting your secret identity, pal.
