Nice to see 2 maps. Hawkworld is a nice change of pace that looks like a fun challenge. The airport, while a nice location, is a straight up shooting gallery. Not sure I dig that. Have to play it to find out. But I am happy with 2 maps.

That's what I thought at first, but then I realized that figures in the starting area can quickly exit the indoor area and seek shelter in the outdoor regions. They'll have to break down a wall or two near the center of the map to enter combat, though, but that's better than no protection at all.

Good point. I just counted, if a grounded figure starts in the corner farther from the door, on the top he has to move 11 squares to get outside. On the bottom, only 9. Obviously, with a small team, start closer to the door, but on a team with a lot of minions, it could be an issue. I had not noticed the tunnel is all indoor. I was looking at the big open areas.
I'll have to play it to see what I think.

I really like Hawkworld but both maps feel like shooting galleries. I would have preferred an open map (Hawkworld) and more walls for the indoor map.
And can someone tell me how the heck Wonder Woman is gonna get her horse through airport security?
Are you going to tell her no horses allowed?

Love the Hawkworld, looks like it will be a lot of fun. Airport is a welcome addition. Two different things then what we currently have. As Ihsan pointed out, you can blast walls. I think a lot of people don't think of that(myself included sometimes) because you don't want to feel you are wasting actions. Can't wait. Getting even more psyched!

Reason: grammar
My first thoughts were along along these lines:
"Huh, an airport? That seems sort of random. Looks like an okay map and not something we've seen before, but not very iconicly DC for this particular set...Wait, TWO maps?! HAWKWORLD!! YAY!"
I'm very happy that we're getting two maps and as a huge Hawkman fan, getting Hawkworld is some unexpected awesomeness.
However, in a set without Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Thanagarians, or even Man-Hawks, it seems like a rather random inclusion.
There are a few DC locations that are more iconic in nature that I was expecting and really hope that we see before too long.
Such as:
Gotham City, one with some rooftops housing gargoyles and the Bat Signal!
Themiscyra
Mogo
Oan Power Battery
Apokalpse
Fortress of Solitude

The whole set seems unthematic. I love the inclusion of Hawkworld, but it would make so much more sense if this was a Hawk-heavy set. Any GL world would have made more sense, perhaps Coast City as it played a role in the recent White Lantern mess... Or Star City, with that funky forest.
The airport? Totally random. & can someone tell me if "must move 1" uses a move action?
