"I was a DC kid growing up. We had the action figures, and most of them were so old and used that the paint had come off... But I really adored Hawkgirl," she said to Collider.
"I had Hawkgirl and Hawkman as part of my collection. Well, technically it wasn’t mine. It was my siblings and I’s collection. We had Hot Wheels too. We just had a really fun, enjoyable childhood with those. So, this is a full circle moment."

Hawkman made a few appearances in DC cartoons back in the 2000s. Some were pretty bad (Justice League Unlimited), but his appearances in The Batman series were fun to watch. Hard to understand why an awesome looking character with so many cool powers continues to be used so sparingly. Enjoy the highlight video by Rafael Ridolph!

There really doesn’t seem to be any character who fits the Wolverine mold, but actually DC has had their own Wolverine for much longer than Wolverine has existed — the leader of the Golden Age Justice Society of America known as Hawkman.Hawkman first appeared in Flash Comics #1 from 1940, his hawk mask, giant wings, and morningstar mace setting him apart from the other early heroes of DC. Looking at Hawkman’s history, there are many, many parallels between him and Wolverine. Hawkman is one of the most complex characters in comics, much like Wolverine, and just needs to find the right portrayal to reach the heights of Marvel’s ol’Canucklehead.

Ok. I’m going to TRY to make this POSITIVE. Unfortunately, it’s inspired by the recent appearances of Hawkwoman in Green Lantern Corps. The first two issues have teased something…terrible for fans of the Hawks. It’s easy to get upset and come out swinging with criticism…don’t worry, it’ll come. Eventually. I’m trying to start with lauding the most significant aspect of Hawkman and Hawkwoman/ girl (she shall be Hawkwoman for the remainder of the article as it’s a name change and not necessarily a different character being referenced- unless it is!). So, what’s unique and special about the Hawks? What’s the one thing about them that is significantly different from other characters and why does it set them apart and why does it matter?

Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray did most of the writing for the series until the end. But for whatever reason, their stories have never been completely collected. Issues #26-36 have never been included in any of the trades. I realize DC is trying to make money off of Geoff Johns' name for as long and often as they can, but I hope they consider giving the Palmiotti/Gray run the recognition it deserves.
And while I'm at it, Tony Isabella's Shadow War of Hawkman-Vol. 2, John Ostrander's Hawkworld Vol. 2, and Hawkman Vol. 3 have yet to be in any trade or collection. Let's hope we get those soon!
Here is a complete list of all of the Hawkman and Hawkgirl books in collections. LINK
