10 Characters That Need To Be Introduced In Future DC Movies

1. Plastic Man

Power Girl
DC Comics

Plastic Man is very much a character treated as a joke like Aquaman once was, which is all the more reason to adapt the character as comic relief similar to ant-man, with a redemptive arc as he starts a criminal and becomes a hero.

None of the Fantastic 4 movies have really utilised the elastic abilities of Mister Fantastic, and a Stretch Armstrong movie has been in development hell for years, so adding a character with similar abilities will be a brave and out-there choice for the DCEU which is full of heroes with more conventional and powerful abilities.

In pretty much every iteration of DC comics, Plastic Man has a relationship with Batman, and though Bruce Wayne seems to have a burgeoning friendship with The Flash, having Batman as a reluctant parent or mentor to a petty thief who gains superpowers that affect his physiology, gives dimension to Batman and offers The Flash a chance to get jealous by another comedian in the group taken under Batman's wing.

It's not hard to see Plastic Man and The Flash develop a similar dynamic to Donkey and Puss In Boots from the Shrek movies, constantly trying to outdo each other with jokes
