    I have a bit of an on-again-off-again liking for Arrow, but I really like The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow was entertaining as far as it went. Even Supergirl seems decent (I'm struggling with all the Girl Power and pro feminism messages that are present. Not bad messages, just boring for me, but then I'm not one of those meant to really connect with that part of the show.). Basically I think that DC is doing much better on the small screen than they are on the big screen.

    So I wondered what DC character people felt needed/deserved their own TV show.

    I'm struggling to come up with an answer for that myself but I can strike some names off. Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. They'd be hugely hit or miss and there is already something comparable to them being aired. .Green Lantern also probably wouldn't work on tv. Constantine doesn't seem to work, but he belongs to a vein of DC comics that currently lacks representation.

    In the end I would go with either a young Zatanna or Doctor Fate. Though there's a part of me that would be interested in a JSA ensemble show or a Birds of Prey-esque one. There's also a part of me that would love to see a Spectre one ... but aside from not being sure anyone else would watch it doesn't seem like something the current creative teams could handle well. People moan about Superman man being powerful ... so a character that can take him down any day of the week would be really hard to do well.

    And I didn't forget about Gotham ... I just couldn't get into it. Maybe I'll try it again later.

    You can't create a JOKER tv show without Batman, and Batman is only allowed on movie titles and animated shows.

    The only way Batman can ever show up on a tv show is if there is if "Legends of Tomorrow " does a tv episode special with the other dc shows.

    Bruh, I'm an American who grew up on Nickelodean, Disney, and cartoon network. Except for the few on CN, I don't know any DC comics that deserve a TV show. Same with Marvel.
