10 DC Characters That Need Their Own HBO Max Series

10. Jimmy Olsen

Photojournalist Jimmy Olsen has always been an important character in Superman’s mythos. Superman’s best pal has been to some of the most interesting places, covering the most interesting stories in the DC Universe, being at the forefront of events like the Death of Superman.

A character with a rich history, Jimmy almost has a passport to anywhere in the multiverse because his Daily Planet press pass makes him everyone’s go-to photographer.

Olsen is a character that has been portrayed in television before - his most notable appearances being in Smallville (with Aaron Ashmore in the role), and Supergirl, as Mehcad Brooks brought a new definition to the character. With Jimmy already having a history of connecting with audiences, he is perfect for new adventures that take him all through the multiverse.

As Jimmy gets his TV show, we can see a different side of the DCEU. Instead of focusing on a larger than life heroes that are part of the Justice League, the audience can connect to the Average Joe of the DCEU. As we visit places like Gotham, Metropolis and even New Genesis, Jimmy would act as a sort of tour guide as his show could give us little glimpses of these locales, opening up possibilities for future projects.
