This fall, The CW’s hit superhero showsArrowandThe Flashwill return with all new seasons, both debuting in early October. Fans will get a different glimpse into theDC Comicsuniverse with the spinoff seriesDC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which is slated to debut in midseason. We know thatLegends of Tomorrowwill feature a number of characters from bothArrowandThe Flash, along with several new heroes as well. Today we have a report fromEntertainment Weeklythat reveals one of these new heroes, Hawkman, will first appear on bothArrowandThe FlashbeforeDC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
We first reported onHawkmancoming toDC’s Legends of Tomorrowa few weeks ago, which makes sense since Ciara Renee’s Hawkgirl is one of the show’s main stars. In the comics, Hawkman, a.k.a. Carter Hall, is Hawkgirl’s lover, a reincarnation of the Egyptian prince Khufu. He discovered a substance known as the “ninth metal” that allowed him to manipulate gravity and give him the power of flight. Hawkman will reportedly first pop up onArrowandThe Flashto help give fans some context into his relationship with Hawkgirl. Here’s an excerpt fromEntertainment Weekly’s report.
“Described as charismatic and wise beyond his years, Hawkman is a natural-born leader with an abundance of charm and confidence-well, that’s because he’s 5,000 years old. Much like the comic book iteration, Carter retains his memories of his past lives each time he is reborn, though his lover (aka Hawkgirl) is born anew. In other words, Kendra Saunders will have no idea who he is at first.”
This news comes just two days after another report which revealed that anotherDC’s Legends of Tomorrowstar,Caity Lotz’sWhite Canary, will appear in the first few episodes ofArrow Season 4.Caity Lotzwas previously the Black Canary before she was killed in theArrow Season 3premiere. She will be brought back to life through theLazarus PitinArrow, before moving over toDC’s Legends of Tomorrow.
As far as Hawkman is concerned, it isn’t known if Ciara Renee’s Hawkgirl will pop up onArrowandThe Flashalongside Hawkman, but hopefully we’ll have more details about Hawkgirl and Hawkman very soon. Production is already under way on the new seasons ofArrowandThe Flash, but it isn’t known when shooting may start onDC’s Legends of Tomorrow. What do you think about these new details?
