So Arrow (without a doubt) is a success. It's got a full season it's pulling in great ratings and the fans are happy (as proof alone by an entire forum on this site dedicated to the show).
But for me the question is: What next?
Yes hopefully this will go for a long time (but not too long) but DC and the CW now have an interesting opprotunity in front of them.
Smallville was very much a test of what to do and not to do with a modern superhero tv show. And with Arrow already getting much acclaim they should wonder if they should try making another show. Have two shows played back-to-back and make a epic night of it.
But which hero?
Now yes there is rumors of Booster Gold on Syfy (which doesn't bode well cause they cancelled Alphas) and yes there is a rumor of a potential Wonder Woman show on CW called Amazon (insert numerous jokes here).
But what I want to ask is: What do you think should be the next Arrow? What hero or style do you think has the most potential to both succeed but not undermine Arrow.
For example. I personally would love a show starring SHAZAM!. And along with that I want it based in the magical side of the DCU. This would be a perfect anti-thesis to Arrow and their grounded/realistic approach to it. They would be able to show both powers and magic and show a different take on the superhero world.
Also Billy Batson is a totally different character from Oliver Queen and in my opinion a little more relateable so that'll help keep people in.
I wrote a blog post about my idea you can read it here.
But that's just my opinion. Who would you want and why?
I open the floor to you.
