Hawkman Hotness For An Upcoming Smallville

00028913.jpg

With Smallville in its ninth season, it's a fair bet to assume that you've caught an episode or two, if not for the story, then for the shirtless Tom Welling. And when that's not enough of a draw, the show reinvents itself with superhero collaborations and stunts like bringing on Geoff Johns as a guest writer. February will see a combination of both these factors in the form of a two-episode 'TV film" centering on the Justice Society. The story will feature Hawkman, Dr. Fate, Stargirl, Martian Manhunter and Amanda Waller. But I'm mostly focused on the casting of Stargate's hunky Michael Shanks as Carter Hall. The stuff of slash writer's dreams was fulfilled when Ben Browder locked lips with his Stargate SG-1 costar at the 2008 Comic-Con. Unfortunately, his Hawkman costume calls for a bronze breast plate instead of our favorite avian superhero's regular bare-chested burliness, but the idea of a Hawkman team-up was already enough to make sure I'm tuning in.

"Justice" and "Legends" will air on the CW on February 5th.

Wait, Michael Shanks? As in... like... Daniel? I dunno... I mean, when I think Hawkman I usually think someone... I dunno... massive. Shanks is cute as hell, and has a decent body, but everything I've seen him in he's built more like a runner than an "I punch brick walls until they cry" sort of dude.

That being said, I'll still watch because it's HAWKMAN. Wolfy winged superhero, take me away!

Hold on!
Are you saying Ben Browder kissed Michael Shanks? Please tell me there is some form of photographic proof of this.

May I add a small addendum seconding Nexus's request for physical evidence of the sexy Farscape on Stargate action?

Nexus said:

Just found it on YouTube.
It's a quick kiss. More funny than hot, but still pretty effin' hot. ;)

I had no idea about the Shanks/Browder kiss, but thanks for sending me to look for it.
You may have seen the small article about the Blur costume in TVGuide. They mention the boots as being size 14. Seriously-- that face, that hair, those eyes, that body and massively hung? Not fair.

Comic of the Week

Northstar's Boyfriend Coming In January! You guys may recall I was a bit cranky about Northstar and his lack of lovin' about a year and a half ago. In fact, at the time, I issued a challenge to Marvel to get him a kiss by June 2009 or I would declare him not really gay. I have not forgotten about this. However, when the X-men moved to San Francisco this year, we were teased with the existence of what looked to be Northstar's boyfriend (and manager), so I delayed judgment until we could see more. Since then, Northstar hasn't had a lot of major appearances, as there have been about a thousand major crossover events in the Marvel universe in the last six months, and each one tends to disrupt the normal storyline for most books, including the many X-books. So I waited. Our patience seems to have been rewarded! Artist Tim Fish revealed on his blog that his upcoming story in Nation X #2 (which comes out in Jan.) is a story about Northstar, and will feature Kyle, his boyfriend in an 8-page story. I'm not sure if an actual kiss is in it, but it's implied that there is some lovin' going on. Check out some sketches of Northstar, Kyle, and Aurora below, and we'll keep you up to date when we get closer to Jan. NATION X #2 1/6/10 [TimFishWorks]...
