8 Underrated DC Superheroes Who Desperately Deserve The Netflix Treatment

1. Renee Montoya

For years now, fans have been clamouring for a Gotham Central TV show, or even just something that followed the exploits of the GCPD as they navigated an underworld exacerbated by the already warped nature of Gotham's dizzying levels of supervillainy. That came, ostensibly, with Fox's Gotham. But while that series does have its highs, it's not the police procedural or crime drama that fans were clamouring for by any means.

The anchor of Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker's seminal series was Renee Montoya, a character introduced into the Bat-mythos initially through Batman: The Animated Series. Another high profile LGBT* character in the medium, she would later join forces with The Question and, after his death, succeeded him as the faceless hero. Having only been introduced in 1992, the character is certainly able to boast a massive history, one that's prime TV material.

A Montoya series would be perfect for so many reasons, particularly because it would allow DC to show a massive journey on the small screen. There are few characters out there that have grown as much on the page as Renee, so to see that journey represented - and that transition from cop to superhero - on the small screen, would be particularly brilliant indeed.
