'Hawkman' Coming To ARROW And THE FLASH; New Details on 'Jay Garrick' Revealed
It was recently revealed that Hawkman will join Hawkgirl in DC's Legends of Tomorrow, but it turns out that we'll be meeting Carter Hall in Arrow and The Flash first! Hit the jump for details on that and news on the role Jay Garrick will play after the jump...
Before Hawkman arrives in DC's Legends of Tomorrow, he'll be showing up in Arrow and The Flash. Entertainment Weekly has the scoop, but there aren't currently any details about what kind of role he'll play in either series. However, as they're both going to set up the events of the spinoff, this was to be expected. This version of Hawkman is described as charismatic and wise beyond his years, as well a natural-born leader with an abundance of charm and confidence...oh, and he’s 5,000 years old. The site also mentions that like his comic book counterpart, Carter retains his memories of his past lives each time he is reborn, but Kendra Saunders/Hawkgirl does not.
It'll be fun to see how that plays out, but moving to The Flash, star Danielle Panabaker has shed some light on the role Jay Garrick is going to play when he arrives in Central City. "[He's] going to have an impact on everybody on Team Flash. He’s going to be a very cool mentor to Barry and he’s going to help Barry expand his powers and the things that he’s capable of doing." So, it sounds like he'll be taking on the role Wells had for the majority of season one, but whether their chemistry will come close to what Barry had with the Reverse-Flash remains to be seen...
