DC COMICS TV-VERSE, WHO STILL NEEDS TO BE IN IT

With the movieverse (for DC Comics, as well as with Marvel), we focused slightly more on who has and is scheduled to appear on the big screen. Unlike with the movieverse, where everything is really still in the infancy stage, the "tv-verse" is new, but much more evolved and bigger. At the present time, there are 2 different worlds on television ("Arrow/The Flash" and "Gotham", with a possible third in production (Supergirl). We will be focusing on the bigger "Arrow/The Flash".

Although some fans and actors/actresses wanted "Arrow" and "The Flash" to be a part of the movieverse, it isn't how things turned out. That doesn't mean it will never happen, given that all these shows and movies are viewed by some as "multiverses", and comic book fans know that worlds can collide, and cross-overs can happen. But, even if it never happens, the tv-verse is strong enough to go it alone, and also has just as much room (if not more) to grow their ranks.

Aquaman
Aquaman is set to make his big screen debut via Jason Momoa, but for some, he still requires redemption on the small screen. It wasn't that his appearance within the "Smallville" tv-verse was horrible, but it wasn't near the standard set by not only fans, but the pages of the comic books.
Superman/Batman/Wonder Woman
Of all of the characters, these may be the hardest to procure the rights to or the allowance to have them appear in this tv-verse. It would help solidify things though having one of DC Comics "Big 3" make an appearance.

Martian Manhunter
Have yet to hear any reference to the character for the movieverse, so Mars last survivor may be available to shape-shift his way into the mix of things. Although it would be nice to see more of the alien form than the human this time around.

Wildcat
If the story in DC Comics movieverse is focusing on assembling the Justice League, perhaps the tv-verse could focus on bringing together the members of the Justice Society.

Hawkman and/or Hawkgirl
We saw Hawkman swoop into battle in the "Smallville" tv-verse, perhaps this time around we see Hawkgirl cracking skulls. Or better yet, both of them battling side-by-side. If anything, it would supply the season ending "death" for one or all of the shows.

Green Lantern (Alan Scott)
While Green Lantern fans await a member of the Corps to appear on the silver screen, perhaps the small screen could set the stage for the original (Golden Age) Green Lantern, Alan Scott.

A Top Villain
Yes, there has obviously been some of the top baddies within this tv-verse, but who among them is powerful enough to require all of the heroes (or a large group of them) to come together and fight them. Darkseid is the most obvious answer, but he might be in "protection mode" as DC Comics builds their movie-verse, with him being likely the one to require the Justice League to take him down. So, perhaps someone like Brainiac, Anti-Monitor or even maybe the Secret Society for this tv-verse.

There are of course an almost endless list of characters that "should" appear on any and all of the shows. Which at the moment may be "Arrow" and "The Flash", but there is also another spin-off in the works, so this universe is only going to get bigger. Leaving the only questions less as to whom will appear, but simply how they will be involved in this tv-verse.

  1. Hawkgirl has been confirmed and cast for the spin-off show. Bets are Thea will become either Artemis or Tigress (Speedy is just too obvious and since she's been called that in public I doubt it will be her hero name).
