        DCAU is the only thing that kept DC afloat in the 90s, you worthless turd
        The only event DC had throughout the ENTIRE 90s that brought in people was the Death of Superman

            Yeah I'm thinking the DCAU is the only thing that kept DC afloat in the 90s
            Pathetic display!

          as far as comic events go, that was the one with the biggest impact on the people, it was in the news and everybody talk about it.

          Brother DC was thriving through the 90s. Does a little thing called Vertigo ring a bell? Robinson's Starman? Morrison's Animal Man? The JLI? Harpoon-hand Aquaman? Etc.

        Except when it happened in JLA back in 2019? and was acknowledged in the latest Hawkgirl solo book like two weeks ago.

          You mean when John tried to arrest her when she was having a meltdown over the death of Katar? If anything, John seems to hate her, and all Thanagarians in general, and according to Thorne, the ship is outright banned at DC comics.
          >was acknowledged in the latest Hawkgirl solo book like two weeks ago.
          Please do post the page from that book where they acknowledge any Hawkgirl or Hawkwoman being in a relationship with any Green Lantern, because it literally doesn't exist, you're making shit up.

    Stupid name, stupid costume, stupid character.
    The Hawks only continue to exist because we all love Bruce Timm's Justice League Shayera

      How can you be so wrong?

      Why don't we just make Timm's Shayera into a comic character then? It's not like she was ever really anything but a secondary in a third rate book before anyway.

      >Make Thanagarians into DC Klingons, more than they have been
      >Shayera is one of their operatives stationed on Earth because Earth is fricking dangerous
      >She is a punch first, think about options way distant second kind of person
      >Wings are real, mace is made of super technology and does space shit
      >Complete foil to the nice nice characters like Superman, Flash, Captain Marvel,
      >Doesn't have one fricking thing to do with Egypt, Carter, JSA, she is angry space b***h
      there, the Hawk that fans have been wanting for two decades.

    He hasn't gotten that big push in media outside the comics, and the DCAU, arguably the most popular DC adaptation, pretty much went out of its way to change his character and ruin his lore for the sake of a ship between his love interest and the most boring GL ever.

    They never do anything with them. Honestly I'd say they're fairly popular for how little DC cares about them outside of using them as background fodder.

    He's a solid B-Lister with a relatively loyal fanbase, at least he isn't forgotten like other heroes.

    How would you even adapt Hawkman in solo film?

      Well either you do the classic story against Hath-Set or straight up adapt the Hawkworld mini. Seems pretty straightforward to me.

    Hawkman is a man's man. Cinemaphile cannot relate or doesn't want to.

    >20+ years of runs that only ever retell an origin before cancellation

    It would be nice if a writer came on board to make him do something other than retell an origin again
