My Love Affair with Bryan Hitch's Hawkman

We found out today that Bryan Hitch's run on the current Hawkman series will end with issue No. 12. I've known this for a while, but the official news made me reflect on the amazing run that Bryan has had with Hawkman. My love affair with Bryan's Hawkman began on December 29, 2017. That was the day Hawkman Found was released. I'll never forget it. I really didn't know what to expect but I was stunned. It was absolutely the most beautiful Hawkman comic I had ever seen. I had never seen the wings drawn that way and in such detail. The expressions of Carter Hall. Those Manhawks. The issue was a masterpiece and I couldn't get enough of it. I wanted more. And then about two and a half months later, my wish became reality.

Board Review of Hawkman No. 10: "London Falling"

   It's a good thing February was a short month. The pressure in the current Hawkman story by Robert Venditti and Bryan Hitch has been building up steam ever since the first issue and at the end of No. 9, you could start to hear that ear-piercing whistle starting to blow. Well, the lid just blew off in issue No. 10.

Dear Warner Brothers, Soaringly from a Hawkfan

Before you start making a Hawkman movie, I thought I should let you know what a Hawkfan thinks Hawkman should be. Sorry if I'm wrong. But I keep thinking that you're gonna make Hawkman/Carter Hall a stalking, creepy, rage monster who doesn't have enough sense than to go charging at Superman-level foes and getting swatted away. You want Hawkman to be a success? Then do this:

Movie Rumors: Hawkman said to be in the Black Adam movie, then movie with Hawkgirl!

Hawkman vs. Black Adam (Art by Doug Mahnke)

We received news from Charles Murphy on the ThatHashtagShow.com website that Hawkman is going to be in the Black Adam movie. Apparently writer Adam Szytkiel is wiring a script that includes Hawkman, Stargirl and the Atom Smasher. They are apparently looking for an actor who is between the ages of 30-39 and who has a physique that makes him look like he can go toe-to-toe with Black Adam. Production for the movie is scheduled to begin at the beginning of this year so stay tuned for more news. LINK
Also, Matthew Joseph at the WeGotThisCovered website reported that his has sources confirming that Warner Brothers is planning a Hawkman/Hawkgirl movie. No actors have been announced and there are no other details except that they are looking for a Muslim (???) actor to play the part. LINK
Let's keep our ears open for more news and let's also hope that Black Adam doesn't bomb. There was a Hawkman movie in the works back in 2011, but the Green Lantern movie (2011) killed all plans for that. Let's hope the plans will finally happen this time!
