Hawkgirl /Kendra Saunders cast
Thanks in part to Rick Dunn for part of the info:
Comicbook.com ran the story earlier in the week that Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders has been cast as part of the Flash TV show. (I really need to start watching this and Arrow.)
From comicbook.com:
Hawkgirl will be one of the three mystery superheroes appearing in the forthcoming CW series that spins out of The Flash and Arrow, Deadline reports.
Ciara Renée, who just made her TV debut last year on Law & Order: SVU, has landed the role of Kendra Saunders, which the report characterizes as a lead.
The casting of Ciara Renee as Hawkgirl/Kendra Saunders has turned a $1 bin book into a $40+ book.
Since the March 30 casting announcement, copies of Kendra Saunders first appearance in JSA Secret Files #1(1999) have sold for $30-$40 on eBay. Currently there is only one Buy-it-Now for $51.99
and one auction starting at $25
. According to Comichron, the book had estimated pre-orders of 32,728.
Time to start hunting the back issue bins.

Raymond Olubowale Rumored To Play King Shark In Suicide Squad
Comicbook.com reported today that Raymond Olubowale is rumored to play King Shark in the Suicide Squad movie.
DC’s Suicide Squad may be adding another villain to its roster with King Shark, with actor Raymond Olubowale reported to play the role.
King Shark, first introduced in the 1990s, is a humanoid shark akin to Batman’s Killer Croc character. The character battled the DC Universe’s heroes until the publisher’s New 52 reboot, when he was then cast as a regular member of Amanda Waller’s Suicide Squad.
Olubowale is best known for his role as The Axeman in Resident Evil: Afterlife and Resident Evil: Retribution. While his role as King Shark is still unconfirmed, reports indicate that an official announcement could come soon. As to whether King Shark would be another Squad member, or another antagonist for the team to fight, is still unknown.
The first appearance of King Shark is Superboy #0.
It is a cheap pick up with many copies around $1.
This move has been a spec pick for a while now since he was rumored to be just a pass over character, but this means he would get more air time.
