James Gunn is infamously known for using lesser known characters. So with the DCU coming out, there's a possibility of him hopefully using these characters for a future project.
The characters I feel that deserve more attention to is the Doom Patrol. An animated series in the DCU adapting the team's first era as complementary material for the Titans' movie would be gold
Icon I can sort of do without, but the fact the only things Captain Atom has gotten to do in any piece of media outside or comics has been either: A: be in a fight, take one nasty hit and fly away before exploding, or; B: be a dick to batman... is absolutely ridiculous. He's such a cool character.
DC Characters That Need More Attention: 1. Calvin Ellis/President Superman 2. Dr. Khalid Nassour/Doctor Fate 3. Nubia 4. Icon 5. Despero 6. Psycho Pirate 7. Blue Devil 8. The Turtle Man 9. Hunter 10. Nathaniel Adam/Captain Atom 11. H'el 12. Lara Kent (The Daughter Of Superman & Wonder Woman From Earth 31. They Could Bring Her To Main DC Earth & Have Unlimited Storytelling Potential With Her Cause She's The Superwoman Of The Future.)
Here are some ideas(not having seen the full video): 1)Yalan Gur and Jong Li.Those 2 are 2 very obscure Green Lantern characters that could work well with an Earth Centric Alan Scott comic run or trilogy of movies.Kinda like how Sony has Venom and Eddie Brock as in some sort of friendly Symbiosis where they have to deal with eachother,so could Alan and Yalan Gur.Jong Li would be the descendant of someone who defeated Yalan Gur the first time and would be contacted by the Guardians for help; 2)Dan Garrett in a Blue Beetle live action Tv show m, with him and a young Ted Kord being crime fighting arheologs; 3)The Question.A grounded live action show or an adult animated show could work well for him. 4) Wildcat being the mentor of Black Canary in a show or movie about her. 5:A series live action, animated or otherwise about the Blackhawks.
Animal Man and DC Hitman could have legendary animated series, a dad whose a superhero nobody cares for and a hitman born with Telepathy who looks up to Superman
amazing video im kinda a casual dc fan so idk if this guy is used alot and dont remember too much about him but deadline is so cool and would be great to see in more stuff since i think deathstroke and deadshot are more used mercenaries. Plus mercenary that flies one disks sounds so cool and would make for fun and unique fights
Wow I haven't heard anyone mutter Deadline in AGES. Last I remember he could also phase through solid matter and he has an alien gun that can harm very powerful people. So that adds to his potential.
Character that ABSOLUTLY deserves more attention is Simon Dark. He is one of the few none-batfamily vigilanties in gotham city along side The Creeper, Mother Panic and The Ragman. He is a zombie that was made through black magic and the sacrifice of twenty-four dead teenagers that fought a dangerous demonic cult in gotham with the help of his magical powers and friends. It would be cool to see a supernatural-esque show about Simon Dark fighting the paranormal / Supernatural villains in gotham like the Gentleman ghost, Nocturna, Mad monk and etc without it needing to go over the top like John Constantine. Or better yet a show based on his comic run that actually follows through the author's original vision without it being rushed to finish like the comic book run. Or better yet how about a story where batfamily learns of all the different vigilanties in gotham that they had no clue they existed.
Animal Man and Adam Strange would be great picks to have their own show with more recognition. I'd also say that the New Gods deserve way more recognition as they really have such cool lore surrounding the idea of two worlds emulating good and evil, but deep down, there is more grey moral ambiguity to New Genesis and Apokalips. This could make for a great Game of Thrones-style show about the New Gods exploring the family drama, the power dynamic of both worlds, the severity of the war between both New Genesis and Apokalips and dive into the psychology of these god-like beings and how human they can be
Adam Strange would make a very good streaming service on any channel giving it the right amount of money per episode.Think of Flash Gordan with guns and armor.
I’m interested in what DC atories you think should be adapted into an animated or live action movie (elseworlds or DCU) My choice would be DC vs Vampires, it’s a pretty fun elseworlds story,
Simon Dark The Weird Atomic Knight Amy Allen aka Bombshell Eternity(formerly Kid Eternity) he one few characters that kept his new 52 origins. Riot The Conduit Dominus Takion
Concerning Jemm - Son of Saturn: The Red Saturnians (RS) are modified clones of the Green Martians (GM), while the White Saturnians (WS) are modified clones of the White Martians (WM). The GMs treated the RSs as brothers, while the WMs treated the WS as slaves. All four races have the same powers.
@@SarcasticEnchilada I agree there are too many bat wing and bat women can die and not be talked about but not my goat signal besides he leaves to go to the outsiders so he’s only there for a bit
@@WeebGuru6 oh true, he could be part of the Outsiders or Batman Inc., cause I feel like Batman only needs Alfred, like one or two Robins and a Batgirl
I agree about Blue Devil as long as they restore him to his original personality. One of the things they done is make him a very dark and tragic character that is not very fun. Originally, he was a very light-hearted and fun character who took the bizarre events around him in stride. Because his origin involved a combination of science and magic, he has become a weirdness magnet and strange and unusual things keep happening around him. As an example, two aliens are making an escape via microwave transmission. They come out of a microwave oven in a restaurant where Blue Devil happens to be eating.
The Metal Men: While not major characters, they keep coming back over and over again. I think they could support an animated series. They are the type of characters that would be very interesting: Shape shifting, conflicting human-like personalities, and unusual villains (like Chemo, The Gas Gang, and Dr. Strangeglove and his Brain Children).
@@tyrellmultimedia Then you should do a dedicated video about him. Between him, Captain Atom, Firestorm, Spectre, Phantom Stranger, Martian Manhunter and Zauriel you have an unbeatable Justice League team.
I was watching the Old Captain Marvel(Shazam) serial and the main villain was an original character called The Scorpion who tries to gain access to pieces of a golden scorpion which can transmute matter into gold. I just thought it was a really cool character that could be used in comics especially now as an enemy of Metamorpho or Shazam
Sideways,Silencer,Vixen,Bronze Tiger,Lady Shiva and the other new age of heroes. And the NEW GODS THEY ARE LITERALLY SO POWERFUL AND SO MISUNDERSTOOD AND INTERESTING DC DO BETTER
I’m quite surprised no one said him, but Plastic Man needs much more attention as well. I’ve always loved how he’s one of the comic relief characters that can easily become one of the most terrifying characters if he ever went evil. I hope people will make more videos about him and show how he’s a very fun and interesting character who will hopefully get more content
Honestly Icon and rocket hardly anyone knows who Icon is which is a shame becsuse DC has tons of diverse characters but hardly use them Signal- yes people know him but he feels like s background character and is seen with cassandra cain from time to time Sideways- his origin is pretty cool and his series was left on a cliffhanger
@@JTAEKOOK4EVRR I honestly never saw him as a spiderman ripoff nor understood it. You can say personality wise but Nightwing ain't that different. I also did wanted to know if that was his real mom when the phone was ringing
I'd actually like to see something with Mark Merlin. Seemed to be an alchemist in the 20th century descended from Merlin. Not very high powered, but lots of potential for good stories.
10:12 Grail is a recurring villain to Wonder Woman after Darkseid Wars. Grail appears in Wonder Woman vol 5 series with different writers. 10:53 Giganta and Dr. Psycho. 11:11 I did had a better idea than Tom King’s Wonder Woman run. You know Emile? The Rogue Amazon? It would been a better idea before the incident, Grail meets and influences Emile causing her to go Rogue. As Grail has orchestrated and set everything into motion. Grail has poisoned both side of The Amazonians and The U.S government. And Grail has her own Amazons that are loyal to her. I have to say Grail, a new god like her would be above and control the U.S Government, not working with them. It is better than Tom King’s The Sovereign and not looking for Emile all this time. The Sovereign is a lame villain. There are other Wonder Woman villains that need more attention. I am disappointed at Robbie Thompson wasted potential to elevate Hyponta the Hypnotic woman. She can represent Lies while Wonder Woman represents Truth.
Not DC But Still Warner Bros. Ed Huddles From Where's Huddles ??? and Harry Boyle from Wait Til' Your Father Gets Home screw The Flintstones Fox should reboot those shows Instead they'd be better fits and possibly could reintroduce the characters to a new audience who grew up with Family Guy and The Simpsons
DC Comics has been trying to establish a Hanna-Barberaverse. They are taking established properties and giving them a more adult take. As an example, in "The Jetsons" they established the reason everyone lives in buildings that are high above the planet is because the surface of the Earth is an ecological disaster that would be lethal to anyone without protection. They also used Space Ghost, The Flintstones, Hong Kong Phooey, Wacky Races, and Scooby-Doo.
Adam Strange is like the opposite of Superman: a non-powered human living on an alien world instead of a powerful alien living on Earth.
Adam Strange & Animal Man could thrive with shows!

This is a great list.
For me, it’s Vic Sage The Question. So much potential but never utilized by DC.
These are great picks. My fave is Bloodwynd
One of my favorite obscure characters in the DC universe is Kamandi. And more recently, I've been getting more interested in the Warlord.
Here are some ideas(not having seen the full video):
1)Yalan Gur and Jong Li.Those 2 are 2 very obscure Green Lantern characters that could work well with an Earth Centric Alan Scott comic run or trilogy of movies.Kinda like how Sony has Venom and Eddie Brock as in some sort of friendly Symbiosis where they have to deal with eachother,so could Alan and Yalan Gur.Jong Li would be the descendant of someone who defeated Yalan Gur the first time and would be contacted by the Guardians for help;
2)Dan Garrett in a Blue Beetle live action Tv show m, with him and a young Ted Kord being crime fighting arheologs;
3)The Question.A grounded live action show or an adult animated show could work well for him.
4) Wildcat being the mentor of Black Canary in a show or movie about her.
5:A series live action, animated or otherwise about the Blackhawks.
would be cool to see black Alice and Etrigan
Animal Man and DC Hitman could have legendary animated series, a dad whose a superhero nobody cares for and a hitman born with Telepathy who looks up to Superman
Crimson Fox, Olympian and obviously The Global Guardians ❤
Etrigan, White Canary & Grail.
Adam Strange feels tailor made to be in a future James Gunn movie.
my all time favorite : the Spectre.. I've always wished they would make a movie about him.
I would absolutely love a Fourth World tv show
Grifter is such a cool character that’s been criminally underutilized
Adam strange was in The Kyrpton show. It was great
Black Alice x Raven would be a lit concept for sure.

I’m digging the mobster vibes and the more grounded story with penguin being a master manipulator in the making.
