TVGuideMagazine.com gives us our first look at Hawkman on "Smallville", in an interview with actor Michael Shanks. Here's a portion of the interview...
How's your flying been going?
Today's my practice day. There's no stunt guy, so I need to ace this so I don't make Hawkman look like a goofball. It's traditional wire work that involves strapping on this harness so that large men with giant arms can lift me up and manipulate me. I'm also swinging around Hawkman's giant mace as a weapon.
Are you exposing your chest as Hawkman did?
No nudity. The way the harness is designed they needed to create a bronze chest plate. The helmet is also more of a bronze-tone than a big yellow gold thing. My whole upper torso becomes a big immobile object.
