The Batman Who Laughs is assembling his US Army of DC hero taint with wickedness , and he has finally lay claim his heavy batsman : Hawkman . Or as fans should get used to calling him , now thathe ’s traded heroism for villainy : Sky Tyrant .

After being infected without his noesis , the most recent offspring of his solo series see Hawkman almost drive to kill an sure-enough enemy . Consumed by anger and rage , Hawkman was soon consumed by genuine duskiness , transforming him into a bigger , darker , and more baleful version of himself , it seemed his course to the comingYear of the Villain : Hell Arisenshowdownwas all over . But in our undivided trailer of Hawkman # 18 , readers check that the getting even of Sky Tyrant is unlike any of the other malevolent DC submarine encounter thus far .

Every character was picked for strategical reasons … Hawkman because of his connexion with the Dark Multiverse . We already show all that stuff with him way back during [ Dark Nights : Metal ] and the idea that he had been connected with Barbatos , connected with The Batman Who Laughs . That was the big motivation there . Hawkman is one of the corking warrior in the DCU , so if you ask a warrior , a tank , you involve somebody you’re able to apply as a arm , this is who you get . So I experience like it was strategic . We view it like Batman Who Laughs . Who would I go after if I needed people who could help me win ? And we wanted to be surprising , that ’s part of it . There ’s a weird mix of obvious and not obvious .

The carnage is set to begin in the pages ofHawkman # 18 , but there is more at work with the birth of Sky Tyrant than readers first thought . Read on for the trailer below :

The question of exactly how Hawkman ’s cycle of dying and reincarnation may affect him being corrupted by evil is one few will have considered , let alone expect to afford the issue immediately after his corruption takes hold . Just one more reason to follow this Hawkman incubus , the full credits and patch synopsis for which can be take below :
