A lot of us are getting excited over the upcoming two-part Smallville/ Justice Society episodes. I did mention last week that it was decided to combine the two into a two-hour movie 'event' that would air on January 29, 2010, but that date has been changed. The episodes will be shown instead on February 5, 2010.
Besides the fact that both these episodes are written by Geoff Johns, Tom Welling will also be directing the second one. You've probably heard that Michael Shanks will be playing Hawkman and you've probably been wondering what he'll look like. TV Guide has an exclusive image that may answer that question for us. Are you ready?
There's no word on if that's a final shot or if any finishing touches will be added. Click HERE for an interview with Shanks about the episode. I could be wrong but something about it feels off. This is the problem with trying to translate comic characters into live action. What do you think?

What feels "off"? What is wrong with his costume? They did better than the comic book, they gave him black pants instead of the gawd-awful green tights and red trunks.
Y'all quit yer belly-achin'. Sheesh.
whose the skinny retard in the hawkman suit? and...are those wings from flash gordon!?....thats gay lol smallville sucks!
I'm glad he is wearing a costume so similar to the comics, the society is supposed to represent experienced superheroes, no doubt they will hint to clark taking on a real costume, just hope this isnt the final shot...
Credit to them for going with the genuine costume and trying to keep a sense of familiarity with the character. But this is one choice I think that could have done with some artistic license on the character's appearance.....something about it seems to 'iffy' but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Well when it comes to smallville you will realize these early released pics never look like the final. The wings will probably be CGIed over and the angle of the actor in the pic is causing foreshortening which makes hime look AWKWARD XD, the finished tv version should be ok. But I never really cared for hawkman's costume and think they could have streamlined it more or updated for the show.

AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAaaaa! **gasping for breath** AHAHAHAhahahaha!!!
They wont give Clark Red, Blue, and Yellow; but they do that for Hawkman?
Oh my LORD! It took a minute, but I realized where I've seen that look before. The Flash Gordon movie. I think those are the same kind of wings.

Also, I figured out (for me) why he looks so weird-he's not buff enough for his costume (IMO).
