Huh? So in last season's JL when the Hawkmen came, those were just devices too?
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I don't think you should draw too big of a parallel between the Hawkmen in the comics and the Hawkmen in the cartoon. The cartoon diverges from the comics continuity in many profound ways.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
It's funny how Sandman is so isolated from the rest of the DC Universe; stuff you read in Sandman is permanent; everything else is temporary. So when someone resurrects a character that is established as very, very dead in Sandman, it rankles.

Hmm. Do you read JSA? Because bringing Hector back was really well done, and I've been re-reading Sandman at least once a year for years now. (I agree, Victor, that he and Lyta haven't been exactly exciting since her return, but hey, it's early days yet.)
It's only *kind of* isolated. I mean, Dream's shown up to give Kyle a pep talk about his path as Green Lantern. Which was just weird.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Eh. If you say so. I was OK with Hector until they brought Lyta back, undoing anything interesting that had been done with her in the Vertigo stories.
Yes. Another problem is that, YET AGAIN, they decided to make Nabu the Wise into a semi-villainous figure that had to be overcome by whoever is currently Dr. Fate.
I think the character is much more interesting when the wearer is being unduly influenced, if not outright possessed, by the spirit of Nabu in the helm. For however many years, Fate was portrayed as spooky, cold, and logical with no sentiment. I'm very disappointed that Johns had him go on another power trip after so nicely disregarding the last one from the DeMatteis run.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Yeah, he's also been tangentially around JSA, which is kind of OK, considering his many connections there, both through Daniel's parents (the current Dr. Fate and Fury) and his connection to Wesley Dodds, the Golden Age Sandman.

Yeah, that's kind of how I like Fate, too. I'd like to see some sort of accord there.
