SMALLVILLE
TV Guide.com has the first look at actor Michael Shanks in Nth Metal Wings as Hawkman in the upcoming JSA two-hour epic episode of the show. TV Guide also talks to the actor and reveals the episode will air on February 5, instead of the previously reported Janurary airdate. "There’s a lot of referencing to Shayera/ Hawkgirl throughout as his one true love, given the fact that these two have a tremendous history as thousand year-old reincarnated beings who continue to find each other lifetime after lifetime. And we will learn where she is now," says Shanks.
New episode: Friday
