10 TV Shows DC Should Make Next

5. Birds Of Prey

Batman beyond
Warner Bros.

DC TV fans with long memories will recall that the Birds of Prey have had their own series before. The CW aired one season of the oft-forgotten show based around Oracle, Black Canary and Huntress back in 2002. Unfortunately, it was before its time (and a bit naff). If someone were to attempt a DC series based on an all-female team nowadays, you can bet it would be an instant smash.

Sure, there are rumours that the Birds of Prey might be coming to the DCEU in the future, but that probably won't happen too soon considering the backlog of projects the franchise has to get through first.

DC would be better off, then, clearing the path for a TV show instead. The concept is better suited to television anyway, as it could explore elements of the Bat-mythos that the movies don't find time for and Gotham can't reach yet due its nature as a prequel.

In particular, how about a depiction of Barbara Gordon's rebirth as Oracle after being paralysed by the Joker? That's a dramatic character arc that could work better over long-form storytelling.
