10 TV Shows DC Should Make Next
What's next after Titans?
DC is no slouch in the TV department as fans are spoiled for choice right now, what with the Arrowverse and Black Lightning on The CW and other series like Fox's Gotham peppered elsewhere. Things are about to get even more amazing for DC lovers, however, as the company is set to launch its own streaming service that will produce a bunch of brand-new DC TV shows to enjoy.
So far the shining jewel in its crown is Titans, which will finally bring the super-teen team to life in live-action. Recently, Metropolis - a Superman prequel focussing on Lois Lane and Lex Luthor - was also announced. Both are expected to arrive before 2018 is out. And you can bet there will be plenty more where they came from.
But what other DC shows would fans most like to see next, either on this streaming service or from old faithfuls like The CW or Fox? From famous properties to undervalued heroes who deserve a big break, here are a few pitches for some possible DC TV series that, if the world were at all fair, would be going in front of the cameras very soon.
10. Legion Of Doom Sitcom
Recently, it was revealed that the Arrowverse's Matt Letscher, John Barrowman and Neal McDonough pitched The CW an idea for a sitcom starring their characters, the supervillain team the Legion of Doom. It's a fun notion but it wouldn't really work - or would it?
While NBC's Powerless was a flop, the idea of a sitcom set in the DC universe is still a great one. So how about a comedy focussing on what DC's supervillains get up when they aren't fighting the Justice League? Sorry to Letscher and the others, but it would probably be better if it ignored the Arrowverse version. Wouldn't it be fun to watch a live-action sitcom take on the classic Legion of Doom from the Superfriends cartoon?
A lot of laughs could surely be derived from sending up villains like Lex Luthor, Solomon Grundy, Captain Cold, Black Manta and many others and it would certainly feature a cast of memorable, larger-than-life characters - which is key to any successful sitcom.
