The Best DC Characters That Deserve Their Own Series

DC Comics characters that deserve their own TV shows The CW’s Arrowverse has brought us superheroes, rich characters and awesome action. It also introduced new characters to DC Comics neophytes. And it gives die-hard fans the shows they’ve always wanted and deserve.

But who are the DC characters that should have their own series?Apart from Green Arrow, Flash, Vixen, Supergirl, Rip Hunter, White Canary, Atom, Heat Wave, Firestorm and The Rey, that is. Here’s our list of DC Comics characters that deserve their own TV shows.

(With Titans premiering on a still-unannounced digital service, I also took out of contention Dick Greyson/Robin, Starfire, Raven, Beast Boy and any other Teen Titans. They’re all getting an awesome new show of their own, after all.)

Martian Manhunter

Martian Manhunter is a fan favorite appearing in Supergirl and in a crossover event on The Flash.

J’onn J’onzz, in the human form of Hank Henshaw, would be the perfect candidate for his own show. One of the most powerful superheroes in the DC universe, and one who shows compassion along with his strength, his tragic backstory and kindness are what great spinoffs are made of.

Zatanna

A powerful sorceress, who is one of the most powerful on earth, Zatanna has historically helped out the Justice League.

She is definitely the most famous magician in the DC universe, and while not yet appearing in the Arrowverse, she is a fun character with a rich backstory, and who doesn’t love a magic sorceress?

Cyborg

Already given his own comic series, reportedly getting his own movie, and being featured as a major part of the Justice League movie, why not give Cyborg his own show too? Cyborg is beloved; it just makes sense. The highly intelligent Victor Stone both resents and benefits from his enhancements, which is the perfect ongoing tension for a TV series, and one the fans would be happy to see.

Tim Drake/Robin/Red Robin

The third Robin is (maybe) the best of them all. I mean he figured out Batman and the original Robin’s identities before his tenth birthday. It might be cool to have a show centered around a kid, and appeal to a slightly younger audience.

He could have an origins story, and live in the same world as Dick Greyson/Robin from the new Titans TV series.
