If you haven’t heard — Geoff Johns is writing Justice Society of America to star on Smallville this season. Seems as though Stargirl, Dr. Fate & Hawkman are coming to the CW. IGN has the following casting info: Brittney Irvin (Aliens in America, V) as Stargirl, Michael Shanks (Burn Notice, Stargate Universe) as Hawkman & Brent Stait (Andromeda, Blade: The Series) as Doctor Fate. More information can be found here on iFanboy.com! Geoff Johns twittered that Hawkman will have “wings & a big mace” so I hope it will be better than the last time Hawkman was on the telly.
I wonder if Hawkman will have wings much like Castiel of Supernatural with his wings (see above) since this is the CW and I don’t think they have the $$ for CGI wings but I may be wrong. Maybe they can find the wings used by Mothman in The Watchmen movie lying around (since Smallville is shot in Vancouver where The Watchmen was filmed) and put some feathers on it?
Also why only 3 JSA characters and its Hawkman, Dr. Fate and Stargirl? I am guessing that they selected Stargirl over Hawkgirl or Power Girl because Star’s origin can be done without much complication whereas Hawkgirl & Power Girl’s origin would be hard to do in 1 episode. Oh and yes I know Smallville has a (lame) Black Canary character. I do hope they mention that these JSA characters are just 3 of many and they have been fighting crime & super powered issues on Earth long before Clark left Smallville – that would be similar to how Geoff Johns wrote his LEGION episode of Smallville.
