Hawkman will return to the small screen this year as Reckless and Transcendence actor Falk Hentschel has been cast as Carter Hall/Hawkman in Arrow, The Flash, and DC's Legends of Tomorrow. This version of the character is described as, "the latest reincarnation of an Egyptian Prince who is fated to reincarnate throughout time along with his soulmate, Kendra Saunders (portrayed by Ciara Renee).
