On paper, Hawkman sometimes looks totally AWESOME. He has wings and a mace and a cool helmet. I really want to like Hawkman. The character appeared on Smallville for a handful of episodes, and when he had his helmet and wings on, he looked like a lunatic.
Turns out, cosplaying as Hawkman, no matter the quality of the costume or the physique of the wearer, points out one thing: that is one crazy @#$%ing look.
Kudos to the couples costumes on this one. At least you two know you're made for each other.
Yeah, pretty much. I just googled a picture of the Smallville Hawkman. His costume doesn't look that much better than these. He doesn't even look that muscular. I suspect if they ever make a Justice League movie that includes Hawkman, Hollywood will just go to their fallback superhero uniform of black leather.
ReplyDeleteThe guy on Smallville was actually in above average shape, but the armor on him made him look oddly shaped. Really, the outfit was a mess, and his appearance flying in was hilarious rather than awe inspiring.
ReplyDeleteOh, and everything about their Dr. Fate was a fail. It was an interesting idea that just fizzled and fell over with casting and mask construction.
