Personally I don’t care and he looks great as hawkman

I could see that as comic fans definitely have high to completely unrealistic expectations.

I'm a comic canon fan, but given Carter Hall's relationship to ancient Egypt, this swap works for me.

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.

Not to be persnickety, but, as a Hawkman fan, I feel compelled to point out that some of your characterization is a bit askew of the mark. Hawkman does, in fact, have a measure of enhanced strength and durability. These powers are the result of the use of Nth metal and even include regenerative abilities. Hawkman is not 'normal'.
