CW’s ‘Legends Of Tomorrow’ has announced the appearance of another hero in their shared DC universe. That’s right, while Hawkgirl already is a series regular it seems that her male counterpart will feature as well. During DC Entertainments panel ‘Legends of Tomorrow’ executive producer Marc Guggenheim announced that Hawkman would be added as a new character to the show. No further details about the character or possible casting were available.
Several incarnations of Hawkman have appeared in DC Comics, all of them characterized by the use of archaic weaponry and by large, artificial wings, attached to a harness made from the special Nth metal that allows flight. Two of the more well-known versions of the character are Carter Hall and Katar Hol. Either would work well in this universe and with the introduction of time travel a concept that will feature prominently in this series. The writers should be able to tell some interesting stories with him. Hawkman also has a comic book connection with Atom, Flash, and Arrow. So it seems DC TV is shaping up to be a world filled with iconic heroes to hold us over until Batman Vs Superman debuts. A nice appetizer while we wait for the main course.
DC's Legends of Tomorrow or simply Legends of Tomorrow focuses on time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter, who has to recruit a rag-tag team of heroes and villains to help prevent an apocalypse that could impact not only Earth, but all of time.
