• That was neat=o!!

• Richard Ayoade and Matt Berry can make anything awesome.

• Brian Blessed is the only dude on the planet that can make that costume work.

• I'm a bass player, also. That, and I think Hawkman's awesome.

• Whose responsible for that commercial?

• Ah, that was great.

• I... Uh, I am... Think that... Uhm... Ah! Damn you! Damn you all to hell! :(

• (Well, I for one won't mock a guy who got a geek laid. I'm even tolerant of Noel Gallagher for that reason.) This Hawkman's chin (and poorly synched audio) reminds me the hell outta Dr. Lucien Sanchez of "Darkplace". That is, Matt Berry, whose addition would make me start watching Smallville in a heartbeat. Even better, give us Richard Ayoade as Snapper Carr and I will buy the season on DVD.

• Oh,I'm aware that DC has used their characters in a ton of commercials...I just dont recall any of them being made out to be such sad puds. Even when Batman was wearing the rubber nipple suit and shilling for Happy Meals,he still had more dignity than poor Hawkman does in that commercial....

• You've, uh, not watched many commercials, or even come out of your cave much, have you? Besides the massive shilling done in the 70's/80's for both companies, DC shills it's characters like nobody's business.

• Please don't make fun of Michael Shanks... It is not like I am a fan of him, or even watch Smallville, but thanks to him (and his time on Stargate) I lost my virginity to a hot blond girl many years ago. (Long story) So I kind of feel I owe him one. I doubt that this will stop anyone from making fun of him, but at least I tried.

• That's just beautiful!!! :)

• I give them extra nerd points for referring to an actual Hawkman foe... Lionmane, because the natural enemy of a hawk is the glorious king of beasts!

• Harvey Birdman, is that you??

• No...Lois has become the Miss Elizabeth of the DC Universe.

• Jesus DC...were the suits that hard up for a buck? Why not just have Aquaman shilling for Red Lobster while you're at it? Love or Hate Hawkman,he deserves better than that.

• Crack against bass players? For shame. Especially comparing us to Hawkman.

• Yay, more male heroes for Lois Lane to fall in love with. Seriously, she has become the 'bicycle' of the JLA, thanks to Smallville.

• The way they have remade all the old heroes his real costume on Smallville will probably just be a hoodie with wings painted on the back. Hawkman is probably just above Aquaman at the bottom of the useful heroes roster.

• the reporter lady was on babylon 5 as a reporter lady. the announcer was the late great harry kalas.

• at least that baby ruth commercial makes it possible to at least try and translate hawk man in live action without it sucking like sadly it will happen on smallville which is sad for Mike Shanks who will no doubt take hawk man and smallville off his resume

• I remember those ads, they were my introduction to Hawkman. I thought he had been made for the commercials at first. Makes one wonder how I ever came to take him seriously.

• Why do I get the felling that Baby Ruth Hawkman is more badass than the one who will show up in Smallville?

• So... his wings sprout from between his asscheeks? No wonder he never turns his back on the camera.

• *woosh* That being the sound of the Shanksian Hawkman, of course. ;)

• Uh, that's not michael shanks.

• I have to say that I feel bad for Hawkman, as he's basically the JSA's Superman, minus the speed, heat vision, and morals. He's an experienced leader and tactician, but due to his over-complicated history and somewhat one-track characterization ("They're evil. Let's hit them!"), he's always overlooked for more functional or unique characters. Hell, when they added Power Girl to the roster, he was rendered useless. Adding the KC Superman? Just frying his chicken. ...Don't even get me started on Hawkgirl/Woman. My comic-loving friends hide from my wrath whenever that waste of space is brought up.

• I remember that commercial... but the player won't work.. so I can't see it.. FIX IT!

• As a long time SG1 fan and therefor Michael Shanks fan, and a follower of Smallville since the beginning I am very hopeful for the Hawk-man appearance. Also, if we review some of the cool shit that Shanks has had cameo (e.g. Eureka). My faith in him is steadfast. Also, why do I suddenly want a Baby Ruth? Alright fine, this has the potential for some serious suckage, but after the Doomsday bullshit on Smallville, how bad can it be?

• That...was a thing of beauty.

• what the fuck? Such a weird commercial. c'mon, man. Go easy on Hawkman. He's got it hard enough as it, being the JLA/JSA's equivelant of their bass player that everyone always forgets is in the band.

• I'll have to start watching Smallville now.
