Decided to bring this up since people were talking about DC characters in the "beware: The batman" topic. Now DC has a bunch of characters, some are even are known but are overshadowed by characters like Batman. I do know DC nation announced a few things outside of Batman(like the plasticman shorts as well as the Super Best Friends from Lauren faust). So this is the topic where you can discuss the DC character that should get their own TV show or even a DTV animated feature for that matter.

If I were to pick what I would want for a DC animated series I would go for a Catwoman animated series. I know that they just made an animated short of Catwoman, but I think its time that Catwoman got a better treatment than the unspeakable live-action film she got.

I would love a Wonderwoman cartoon. And it would be all about Greek mythology and killing monsters and being awesome.

[up][up] And Deathstroke is the guy you're thinking of, I think. Because you do the Deathstroke in the Deadpool.

[up][up][up] I'd say that'd be Lobo (and I'd agree on the need for an adaptation, btw), unless you were thinking of Deathstroke as the guy who looks like Deadpool.

Deadpool the character was "inspired by" (the design was ripped off of) Deathstroke by everyone's favourite artist Rob Liefeld, but the character's personality is totally different. There's actually a Batman/Superman annual where Deathstroke tries to assassinate Bruce Wayne and accidentally rips a whole in space, bringing an "alternate universe Deathstroke" into the DCU. Hilarity ensues, naturally.

On-topic: I'd like a Green Lantern cartoon that spends more time focusing on all the universe's Lanterns— but Google tells me there's an upcoming CGI GL show, so we'll see how that is.

I've always been a huge Flash fan, so a Flash cartoon (but not, you know, made in Flash...) would be neat. I'd really love an Impulse show— poor Imp gets ignored by cartoons, which is sad 'cause he's a perfect cartoon character.

Do Vertigo titles count? Swamp Thing would make an awesome adult cartoon, especially if it were stylized.

Wonder Woman deserves a new series or film. Arguably the most iconic super heroine of all time, and she hasn't had her own show since the 70's? There was the animated movie a while back, but still... they canceled that new live action Wonder Woman show that was being worked on (you know, the one where she was, God forbid, wearing pants), and I'm pretty sure that live action movie isn't being worked on...

Also, Cassandra Cain. Seriously, can she be in a cartoon already or something?

I want to see a Captain Marvel cartoon.

Though I would settle for another Superman cartoon.

The Question. With Renee Montoya as a supporting character/sidekick.

I second the Wonder Woman notion. Though at least she had a pretty decent live-action incarnation.

You know what I'd like to see? A cartoon with Darkseid as a Villain Protagonist. And retaining the crush on Wonder Woman he had in Super Powers Team: Galactic Guardians.

Captain Marvel. Plastic Man. Another Superman Show. The Flash.

And the DC Deadpool equivalent is Ambush Bug. Who I wouldn't say no to I suppose.

Superman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern (yeah, I already know he's getting one, but he does deserve it), Flash, and Blue Beetle. Really anything other than more Batman worshiping would be nice.

Wasnt Deathstroke the main villain in the Teen Titans show? (Though he was renamed Slade.)

@Calnos: Cass Cain and Stephanie Brown. Cass does deserves it more, but including Steph would make me happy.

He wasn't renamed, he was just going by his first name.

Green Arrow, please. And maybe Nightwing, too.

Nightwing would be interesting.

Hell Blazer and Swamp Thing? Maybe Sandman or Sandman Mystery Theatre? Assuming Vertigo counts. Do they have to be shows suitable for children?

I want a Superman-and-Jimmy Olsen-centric version of Batman The Brave And The Bold. I know they've already made a Superdickery-inspired episode, but that's still a small chunk of all the insane stuff Jimmy Olsen had to endure during the Silver Age. There is so much unexplored potential to be exploited. Who agrees with me?

[up][up] Plastic Man actually had his own series for awhile: The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show. It was cheesy. Very cheesy.

I'd love to see a new Plastic Man series, though.

I'd also love to see a Flash series (preferably with a large supporting cast of speedsters).
