Introducing characters into the DCEU

[Tg11]

As far as characters with potential for franchises; who can be introduced or who should be introduced... should be:

Green Arrow

Hawkman & Hawkgirl

Booster Gold (incorporating the action/comedy within the DCEU)

Doctor Fate (incorporating the magical and supernatural/mystical elements into the DCEU; similar to that of Doctor Strange in the MCU)

John Henry Irons/Steel (race/diversity within the DCEU)

Hawkgirl I definitely want to see. It would be interesting to see a different version of Green Arrow (I'm not really a fan of Amell's Batman-lite). The others you mention I can take or leave. I'd like to see Zatanna. Also, the Spectre (Crispus Allen as the host would help meet their diversity quota if that was an issue). And I really, really hope the Supergirl movie gets made.

Steel doesn’t get enough love. It’s just a shame the way WB ****ed up the Death and Return of Superman storyline. He could’ve been in the DCEU already if they had more foresight and better ideas.

If they would’ve cast a better actor as Superman and had a better idea of where to take the character cinematically, they could’ve built a mini universe around Superman. They could’ve had at least 3 separate franchises orbiting around him: Steel, Supergirl, and Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes, in addition to the mainline Superman series.

I’m not itching to see Green Arrow on the big screen. The CW show is fantastic. I’d like to see a big screen Hawkman and Hawkgirl. The CW version is not very good.

The CW Martian Manhunter leaves me wanting a movie version too. I’d rather he have his own noirish, X-Files esque tv series though set in the 50s.

I would really like to see an R-rated Plastic Man movie. He lends himself to mature humor.

I really just want to see more Batman and Superman movies. So many villains left that we haven’t seen before. A Green Lantern trilogy would be amazing.

It still disturbs me that we had a Justice League movie with no Martian Manhunter or Black Canary.

They should've been in the DCEU like yesterday.

I know right Black Canary basically is like the Widow of the DC Universe and Green Arrow more or less is like Hawkeye but they should have been in the JL film to begin with

Just set it in the year between BvS and JL, so WB won't have to worry about paying Cavill and you'd still have the Death as a plot element; have John be a Lexcorp engineer working on the scout ship who quit after a falling-out with Lex and used his remaining resources to complete a pet project of his - a wearable Liquid Geo analogue (echoes of his DCAU and New 52 counterparts); and put him up against a previously-dormant tactical AI installed in the scout ship via Zod's Command Key and programmed to act on the General's behalf in the event of his death should the program happen to be accidentally reactivated - translation: the Eradicator (with a touch of "Rebirth" thrown in). As for any continuity issues, just gloss'em over; they'd be the least of this universe's problems as it is.

Nah I want them to scrap the DCEU Superman altogether. Too many issues to sort out

Movie-wise WB pretty much already has, at least the character anyway.

It certainly seems that way.
