His belt constructed from an ancient Egyptian element which allows Earth's gravity to consider Hawkman's mass as lighter then air and his wings create enough wind resistance to float or flutter along into the breeze. Well the costume sure looks like it does.
It's really cool Smallville is trying to bring larger than life costumes to the show but fans will have to wait until February 5th and see if TV effects won't make the characters look like they're wearing weird cardboard cosplay. If Hawkman ever made it into a JLA movie I think they'll have to reestablish the character as Thanagarian with real flying wings.
