10 TV Shows DC Should Make Next

9. Static Shock

The CW has just added a fifth DC TV show to its line-up in the form of Black Lightning. Immediately, there has been talk of another cult favourite lightning-based DC hero turning up on the show in the form of Static - often dubbed Static Shock due to the title of his comic book series. While this would be good to see in itself, a solo series for Static would be even better.

DC fans of a certain age will likely recall the Static Shock cartoon that ran from 2000 to 2004 as part of the acclaimed DC Animated Universe. The show is remembered very fondly, partly for being a rare superhero show starring an African-American character. Nowadays the superhero TV genre is just starting to diversify itself so it would be fitting if a live-action Static show could make waves like its cartoon forebear.

Luckily, Black Lightning's showrunners have talked about their interest in bringing Static aboard, so at least his live-action debut should be coming soon. All it would need then is for either The CW or DC's digital service to hand him the keys to his own series.
