How DC Can Craft The PERFECT Shared Universe On HBO Max

5. Start With Justice League Dark

Why start with this and not Green Lantern? Well, there has been very little said about the Corps so Dark is likely to come first and Dark would provide a better foundation for this DC universe anyway.

That is because it can do two things - establish the world as one filled with superheroes and villains, but also not feel the need to use any of those characters that do not use magic. This is a positive as what this HBO-verse needs to do is to avoid the characters that have been touched on in the recent movies until it has introduced audiences to some lesser known ones.

The Justice League Dark tackles mystical threats, the original League does not - so there would be no need for the likes of Batman to get involved, especially if the mystical threat being dealt with was one that could not be detected by non-magic heroes.

The words 'Justice League' need not even be mentioned. I mean, the 'Dark' name was not immediately bestowed upon the group the first time they met in the comics, so why should it be in the show?
