That's got to be the most faithful costume Smallvile has ever done!

Hopefully that's not a finished product..........Looks like a picture off the set of the 60's Batman show.

Zatanna was the best/easiest.

As I said in the other thread. The helmet looks ridiculous. Everything else is passable.

hopefully it looks better in motion..

The pic seems a little off or something, it'll probly be better in the show. The interview was pretty good, but whats all this about no Hawkman chest?!

It doesn't seem bad until you get to the helmet, ya know?

Maybe it's just that he doesn't look buff enough to be Hawkman.

Lol, well played Kid.

In the interview Shanks said it was because of the flight harness, but he'd probably lie if it was because he's not buff enough.

I'm disappointed though. I was looking forward to shirtless Hawkman.

Shanks seems like totally ridiculous casting (not unusual for Smallville). I mean Hawkman? Big and buff and hairy and surly. Not Michael Shanks.

Somebody save me from this stupid show!

I know he played a "nerd" on Stargate but you guys should know Michael Shanks has a redonkulous bod in real life.

With all that clunky gear, Brock Lesnar wouldn't look buff enough to be Hawkman.

It doesn't look laughable at all, but it looks a bit off. That might just be because of the awkward pose. I'm sure the finished product will look better (could they give the wings an extra CGI tweak perhaps?)
