That sure as hell looks like the mask worn by Wesley Dodds aka The Golden Age Sandman! Not to be confused with Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, Dodds was a more traditional pulp hero (ala The Shadow) who fought crime in a gas mask and used a sleeping gas shooting gun, his knowledge of chemistry and keen detective skills to battle gangsters and supervillains alike. He was also a member of the Justice Society Of America (who have already been featured in the Arrowverse). The character did have his own DC/Vertigo title, Sandman Mystery Theater, in the 90s. The 70-issue mature reader’s book, written by Matt Wagner and Steven T. Seagle, with art by Guy Davis, John Watkiss and more was told in a stylized film noir fashion and set in the 1930s.
What do you guys think of this exciting reveal? Is Dodds a good choice for the show(s)? And what other classic DC characters would you like to see join the Arrowverse? Comment and discuss below!
