I'm going to have to say Lo SH. Call me a throwback, but I love all the goofiness those characters and stories brought to the DC table.

Theres sex and death and human grime in monochrome for one thin dime and at least the trains all run on time but they dont go anywhere.

Black Orchid is definitely a character who needs more love. Well, at least she's making more appearances in the D Cn U!

How about The Shadow? You know, the guy who has an Evil Laugh, combined with the line "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!" This guy has a cape, and a red scarf over his mouth. He appeared in pulp magazines and was arguably the first example of The Cowl, yes, before even Batman himself! The Shadow has switched between companies many times, but there was a DC Comics story that had The Shadow and Batman actually meeting, and Batman even says that he thinks of The Shadow as his greatest inspiration! Really, Batman pretty much owes his existence to this guy, so why doesn't The Shadow get more love?

The Shadow isn't owned by DC. In any case, you might be happy to know that there is a new Shadow series coming out from Dynamite comics.

[up] That's good! The Shadow will hopefully get some love! grin

There's Holly Robinson. She's that girl Catwoman looks after. She even became the second Catwoman at one point. Unfortunately, she seems to have gone with Brother Chuck. Do you see any chance of her appearing in the New 52?

Tasmanian Devil. No, not the Looney Tunes one. The gay one that was recently ressurected and seemingly nobody noticed.

[up] Given how DC likes to change plans/continuities every five minutes, maybe the character will become a player? [lol]

I feel kind of wierd saying this, but Superman.

It seems like the character has become so marginalized in the popular culture, and so many people seem to have these misconceptions about his character and universe.

Apathetic bloody planet, I've no sympathy at all.

The Question, Adam Strange, anything else by Ditko that DC has.

@Theguru: Morrison's Action Comics looks promising but it looks like he's on the verge of a Creator Breakdown.

Stephanie Brown. Seriously, girl is badass.

I was sad when she went back to being Spoiler. She was a great Batgirl.

Not gonna like what has happened to vic sage guys...

To go back to the dibnys

While Ralph could stretch due to drinking the gingold tonic that was not his big thing. Ralphs big thing was he was a detective. The majority of stories he and sue appeared in before they joined the Justice league (and even after that) had them solving mysteries, thefts and unexplained deaths. Ralph was the Jonathan Creek of the dc universe. He was also in that exclusive club of happily married heroes.

What happened to them is disgusting and the fact they may not even exist now just turns my stomach

personally, I'd like to see Shade the changing man make more appearances in the new 52.

asks some bizare philosophical question that somehow can be tied to a piece of fiction*

So apparently Steph can't even get any face time in an alternate universe.
