Jemaine Atea Mahana Clement is a New Zealand actor, musician, comedian, screenwriter and director. With Bret McKenzie, as the comedy duo Flight of the Conchords, he has released several albums and created comedy series for both the BBC and HBO.
Archeologist Carter Hall discovers he’s the reincarnation of the ancient Egyptian prince Khufu and is destined to become the mighty Hawkman and use advanced Thangarian technology to battle strange criminal masterminds, alien invaders, and ancient evil along with his friend Shiera Sanders as Hawkgirl. Complicating things are the question of free will the pair have over their fate and the mysterious nature of the Thangorian species and the mysterious Hawkgod who has more importance than they can imagine.
I’m imagining this as an adventure of the week type series that slowly gets more serialized as it goes on and eventually develops its own myth arc. It would take inspiration from the various different versions of Hawkman but mainly be based on the original golden age continuity.
