Hey Folks,

Some days ago, we saw a spoof, that featured Hawkman getting mocked at by other superheroes, for not having his own movie. Well it seems like reality, is telling us a different story.
According to BadassDigest, it seems like Warner Bros. is developing a Hawkman movie, with the project being out to writers now. The information comes from a website called It’s On The Grid.
Think it’s time for Carter Hall to get his own motion picture? I would rather see Barry Allen or Wally West first!



Hawkman first appeared in Flash Comics #1 (1940), and was a featured character in that title throughout the 1940s. This Hawkman was Carter Hall, a reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian prince, Khufu, who had in the modern day discovered that the mysterious "ninth metal" could negate the effects of gravity and allow him to fly. He donned a costume with large wings to allow him to control his flight and became the crimefighter, Hawkman. An archaeologist by trade, Hall uses ancient weapons from the museum of which he was curator in his efforts

hawkman is a very interesting character, but i would rather have a flash movie first, and introduce hawkman in a JL movie. hawkman and Martian Manhunter would be a must for JL. i just dont see crowds flocking to go see a hawkman movie. make it a show, it would have everything in it, love, violence drama, ect.

I think you could make a great Hawkman movie.Carter is an archeologist, so you've got that whole Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider/Uncharted element.Add in the alien origins, as well as the ancient Egyptian/mythological aspects and you have a very promising fantasy film.

Not to mention he's practically immortal.

This movie has so many different elements that it would be like Highlander meets Indiana Jones meets Stargate meets a superhero movie.

I wouldn't trust an obscure site like that at all, but it wouldn't surprise if they were in the process of getting a script together.
You don't have to work from the most popular downward people, remember Marvel Studios first film? Blade.

Personally, I think a stylized period film and war epic of sorts would be the best route to take.
Base it around his civilization etc.
They should be trying to make these characters films unique, not obsess over the real-world versions and the typical villain, save the world, love interest set-up.

I like Hawkman but his origin is all over the place and confusing thats why a few years ago they made Hawkman off limits. If they do this they should just stick to one origin either the Egypt one or the Hawkworld one. Hawkworld would be cool but I think the Egypt one would be easier. But give him real wings just make them retractable and magic or something.

This would be really interesting. I think it could work with the Egyptian origin. Since Thor, GL and Captain America will all show that different styles of comic book
origins could work. This would be a different look for DC.

I would like to see an Aquaman and Wonder Woman on screen first after Flash is released. I would love to see them all team up in a Justice League film. This may be one of the announcements that DC have been talking about.

I remember them talking about this movie a couple of years ago, around the time of the justic Smallville episode, they were saying that the Smallville apearance was to see if he was popular enough for the movie. They sighted an Indiana Jones style movie.

@ShadowVoyd dude I don't know what world you live in but because some ones working a script doesn't mean shit, do you know how many movies get the script stage and then never work out a shit load of them. So like I said before until I SEE a flash or wonder woman movie(not script) I couldn't give a damn about hawkman

just make all the justice league characters have their own films. but don't rush them. a JL movie isn't necessary, at least right now.
