Why Hawkman: The Movie Should Be Made

Revised History of the DCU: A Hawk concept

(not very good I know, but here goes)

(note that I reserve the right to change this after reading Dark Nights: Metal)

Carter Hall and Shiera Saunders are the first reincarnations of Prince Khufu and Chay-Ara to remember their past lives before Hath-Set comes after them, and became the Golden Age Hawkman and Hawkgirl. They die heroically and are reincarnated on Thanagar as Katar Hol and Shayera Thal. Or at least, they were supposed to. But someone (Onimar Synn?) did something to Shayera in the womb, and Chay-Ara's soul didn't properly bond with her. Instead, it bonds with an Earthchild, Kendra Munoz. On Thanagar, there's just enough of Chay-Ara in Shayera for her and Katar to find each other and ultimately fall in love and marry. Meanwhile on Earth, Kendra becomes an archeologist, finds some Thanagarian stuff, and becomes the new Hawkgirl. Then Shayera and Katar arrive on Earth and become Hawkwoman and the new Hawkman. Well, obviously, eventually the Hawks meet. Kendra is instantly smitten by Katar, who is oblivious. Meanwhile, Shayera feels attracted to Kendra, which, given that A: Kendra is straight and B: Shayera is, y'know, married (and despite her attraction to Kendra, still very much loves her husband; not that it matters, for just as hawks mate for life, Thanagarians don't believe in divorce) causes problems. None of them have any idea about the whole reincarnation thing. Well, eventually, the latest incarnation of Hath-Set comes after them. He is just as confused about the whole situation as anyone else, and therefore the memory-restoration ritual he performs* doesn't quite go the way he planned, with Shayera and Kendra each getting some of Chay-Ara's memories, but not all, and Katar basically getting DID, constantly mentally shifting between incarnations (though he'd keep some basic traits; IE he instinctively knows how to use his gear, he's a courageous warrior who hates injustice, etc.). So, one issue he'd be a Thanagarian space-cop who is fascinated by Earth's customs, the next he's a Wild West gunslinger who doesn't understand why folks are mad at him for shooting people, then he's an Egyptian sorcerer-prince who's annoyed no one treats him with appropriate respect, then he's a wealthy adventure-archeologist who's kinda racist and sexist without meaning to be, and then he's a runway slave from a Southern plantation who is freaking out because he's now white, etc. *Hath-Set doesn't just want them to die, he wants them to know that they died by his hand. Since that's meaningless if they don't know who he is, he has to give them their memories back; that assimilating thousands of years of lifetimes leaves them briefly disoriented and vulnerable, and thus generally makes it easier for him to kill them, is a bonus.

Hawkman/Hawkgirl Legends: Hath-Set

Anton Hastur first appeared in 1940 as the reincarnation of an ancient Egyptian high priest who placed a curse on Prince Khufu and Princess Chay-ara, bringing about the reincarnation cycle that made them Hawkman and Hawkgirl. He has since haunted them throughout all of history.

In an adaptation, he is the first and most obvious choice as the main villain of a Hawkman and Hawkgirl movie. It's possible we could just leave him in the ancient past, like the Justice League cartoon did, but we can also use him reincarnated as a present villain. It works either way. As for casting, Amr Waked or Erick Avari would be strong possibilities.
