SMALLVILLE Selects Hawkgirl and Deadshot Actors

Smallville is continuing to do what we want the most - more DCU characters. If he ain't gonna fly or wear the suit (which is going to change - please make it so) you have to give me lots of characters within the DCU to wet my appetite. To it's credit, Smallville has interject many characters over the last few years: Green Arrow, Aqualad, Flash, Steel, Doomsday and a few JSU characters.

Kryptonsite.com has reported that actors have been cast as notable DC characters Floyd Lawton and Shayera – AKA Deadshot and Hawkgirl. 

Playing Shayera will be Sahar Biniaz, a beauty pageant contestant who Kryptonsite notes had small roles in three previous Smallville episodes and in Watchmen. It's not clear if we'll see Shayera's Hawkgirl alter-ego in the episode she appears in, "Shield", which is the second of the season. That episode will also feature Michael Shanks reprising his role as Carter Hall, AKA Hawkman. Also still in question is whether Shayera will appear in the present or only in flashbacks. The character was previously referred to in the two-hour "Absolute Justice" episode, which introduced the Justice Society.

"Shield" will also introduce Deadshot, played by Bradley Stryker. Fans of The OC may remember Stryker as the first actor to play Ryan's brother, Trey, in Season 1 (Logan Marshall-Green played Trey in later appearances). Stryker also played a soldier on the first few episodes of Stargate Universe.
 

Hawkgirl and Deadshot are just two of several new DC characters set to debut in Smallville: Season 10, including Darkseid, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold.

Geoff Johns Reveals Live Action Blue Beetle Series?

On his Twitter feed, Geoff Johns just announced there are many plans in store for Jamie Reyes, the current Blue Beetle. First off, Jaime will be appearing in "most of" the episodes of Batman: The Brave and the Bold this coming season.  But the big news is that there is a live action series in development.


Geoff tweeted that they have test footage of a transformation sequence that he describes as "awesome", which he hopes to be able to debut at Comic Con International in San Diego this year.
Jaime's Blue Beetle comic lasted 36 issues and was widely loved by critics, but and was cancelled just as Jaime made his first appearance in Brave and the Bold.  Jaime has already become a very popular character with viewers of the series, but is he ready to carry an entire series by himself?
 

Blue Beetle and Booster Gold Never Looked So Good!

It's a time honored tradition in comic books.  Take any comic book character whose stories have gotten a little stale, and change said superhero into the opposite gender. 

 

It's also a tradition that usually sucks.  Very few of these gender benders have been met with any level of success. 

 

Having said that I really like this sexy version of Booster Gold and Blue Beetle. 

 

Do I want to read this in a comic book?  No.

 

Would I like to spend some alone time with them?  Yes.
