10 DC Characters That Need A TV Show

7. The Question

If you watched Justice League Unlimited as a kid, or are currently catching up on it on DC Universe, then you probably know about The Question. Ace reporter Vic Sage's alter ego is a conspiracy obsessed master sleuth dedicated to finding the truth wherever it may be, no matter what's in his way along that path.

Originally created by Steve Ditko for Charleton comics, the character, along with the rest of Charleton's lineup, was bought up by DC and incorporated into their universe. There, he was given a new series by Denny O'Neil, where all of Ditko's randian nonsense was pried out and he became the lovably paranoid gumshoe we all know today.

The Question is a crusading investigative reporter, regardless of whether or not he has the mask on. A show starring him is probably as close as we're likely to get to a really good Lois Lane show, being equal parts neo-noir and superhero action. The only real question is how much longer we have to wait for this awesome show to be made a reality?
