Peacemaker and The Punisher

 

The new season of Peacemaker will be airing soon on HBO Max.  The first season was surprisingly enjoyable, and it will be very interesting to see how the show changes between the DCEU and James Ginn's new DCU. I'm also dying to see the new opening credits sequence.

Hawkman and Spitfire

 

I always liked the cloth mask that the Earth-2 Hawkman wore for a time.  In those days of the yearly JLA/JSA crossovers, it was nice to help this young reader discern the difference between the earth 1 and 2 versions!  Plus, it looked cool in a retro way.

The Rocketeer and Hawkman

 

There's been talk of sequels or reboots of The Rocketeer for years now, but nothing has seemed to really come of them.  Maybe it's for the  best - the original film is a classic and would be pretty hard to improve upon, in my opinion.  I'd prefer to see that version get a polish though - a nice high quality transfer with maybe some tweaks to the few flying sequences that don't quite hold up to today's visual effects standards.

Starman and Nova

 

I enjoyed the Will Payton Starman series.  It was just great old school super-heroics, and with the always reliable Roger Stern on writing chores, it was a fun, if overlooked, series.  The unattractive costume color scheme from the first two years did not help, Starman looked much better once he switched to the red and black version.  He reminded me a little of Richard Rider, so this might be a fun pairing to see.

Starman and Quasar

I liked the Will Payton Starman, even if that purple and yellow outfit was hard on the eyes (the switch later on to a red and black version of that design was a huge improvement).  Roger Stern is one of the most dependable superhero writers and his Starman series was no exception.  I thought it was very cool that this version was later connected to the Prince Gavyn Starman by writer James Robinson, cementing the legacy aspect of the heroic name.
