Hawkman's always had that weird costume aesthetic. He doesn't have superhuman durability and yet he has a overly exposed chest. Add on filming wise it would be a mess to switch in a stunt double if they did.

Honestly most actors don't need to get into superhero shape. Padded suits(if it's meant to be skin tight) will do all the work.

It's always amounted to the one shirtless scene and that's it.

My only beef with the Hawkman movie design(and to be fair it's only two shots we've seen) is the armor makes the actor look small when he's anything but. I think part of it is that Superman Returns collar problem happening.
