We’ve had Batman, Superman and the Justice League. What other hero or team should get a Paul Dini style animated series? I’d love to see the Green Lantern Corp. There are a lot of opportunities to explore the galactic side of the DCU. Speaking of exploring the galaxy, how about a Starman: TAS cartoon? ---

Green Lantern, definitely. Wouldn’t mind a Dr. fate series, either. I wonder how a Wonderwoman series would work out, though (to round out the Big 3) ---

The Metal Men. C’mon, DC, do _something_ with them. ---

I thought of another one: JSA: TAS. ---

I’d kinda like to see Supergirl reach the full flower of womanhood. As well as a few lesbian twin scenes with Galatea, who would try to establish dominance but get beaten down to wearing a collar and leash. Ahem. Uh, Green Lantern… sure. ---

The Legion. The Demon deserves his own series. Seconding JSA - either classic or current roster. Taken out of the DCAU continuity since the JSA has been folded into the JLU. Starman (Jack - would work well with a compromise between the Batman and Superman/Justice League styles.). The Sandman (Wes, not Morpheus - would do well with B:TAS’s sensibility.) ---

> [@rjung](#): > > Aquaman, just to piss off [some folks.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=326947)😉 Aquaman had his own cartoon series for a year in the 70s, but it was cancelled because nobody likes hims. I want to see the black Green Lantern get his own show. They made Green Lantern black for the new Superfriends show on Cartoon Network, and he lives in a crappy apartment in Harlem. I think there’s alot to explore there, since Black Green Lantern seems angry that he has to live in a shithole, while his friend Batman won’t even let him crash in the mansion. ---

> [@hey alright](#): > > I want to see the black Green Lantern get his own show. They made Green Lantern black for the new Superfriends show on Cartoon Network, and he lives in a crappy apartment in Harlem. I think there’s alot to explore there, since Black Green Lantern seems angry that he has to live in a shithole, while his friend Batman won’t even let him crash in the mansion. Psst. His name is John Stewart. In the animated version he was a GL in space for 10 years and before that he was in the Marines. He stays in Harlem to try to reestablish some conection with humanity, particularly the people of his old neighborhood. He comes across angry because he’s spent all of his adult life in military settings and now has to deal with “amaeturs.” If we’re talking Dini style, Green Lantern definately. I’d like to see the current Outsiders done on Adult Swim (a some cursing, some provociative stuff, but not overdone). ---
