10. In Control/Out Of Control

There's no overstating the significance of John Ostrander's Suicide Squad run. Amanda Waller has become a powerhouse player and Deadshot has been tapped for some of the best comics.

Ostrander and his wife, Kim Yale, also introduced the world to Barbara Gordon post-Batgirl. The readers learned that it was Barbara that was the mysterious Oracle in earlier issues, but these two issues from Suicide Squad spotlight what made this new version of the character worth reading, as she developed into the badass most know her as when she decided to be the earpiece for the superhero community.

This tale focuses on Babs dealing with both the traumatic events of The Killing Joke as well as a computerized Thinker who's not playing nice either.

The DCEU has set up the bleak nature of the Bat-Family so introducing Barbara Gordon reeling from the events of The Killing Joke would blow the doors off the DCEU. This doesn't necessarily need to be the focal point of the movie but it should definitely be brought in to provide a more heroic onscreen presence.
