10 DC Characters That Need A TV Show

4. Green Lantern Corps.

What better way to permanently wash the last of the Green Lantern movie out of people's mouths than with a proper live action space opera show starring everyone's favorite space cops? Though if you're keeping up at all with the DCW, you probably know that it likely won't be long before Geoff Johns has his way and the CW gets its own Green Lantern show, what with the near constant tips, foreshadowing, and easter eggs alluding to it.

But that show will likely centre around Hal Jordan, so a DC Universe show can easily focus on another - more interesting - member of the corps in the meantime. For instance, it could be about Kyle Rayner or Jessica Cruz's first year in the corps, perhaps being trained by Jordan or Killowag or some other member of the corps.

The great thing about the Green Lantern Corps as a concept is that there are so many angles from which to approach this world in order to find a good story, that there are practically no wrong answers.

(Except for making the squirrel the main character, and even then, more has been built from less, so don't quote us on that.)
