View Full Version : Of the Original 7 who would like to see get a solo series??
Harley_Quinn

! This is strictly hypothetical!
That said, Of the original 7 which character would you like to see get their own series (52 or 26 episodes) and why?
Personally, I would love to see a Wonderwoman series. I would love to see Timm and Company flesh out this character in a series devoted solely to her character.
That said, I think a Green Lantern series would be awesome.
I would love to see the whole Latern Corp. involved and them just policing the universe.
Anyone else? Thoughts?

Green Lantern is the obvious choice. However, Flash, Green Lantern and the Flash Mobile would make an interesting combination too...

Well, yeah, we could have a Hawkgirl show where she flys around the world aimlessy and can't accomplish any good because everyone's pissed at her for being a traitor, sure. Seeing as how all of us true blue fans want our shows to be dark and angstey, that would probably go over Well!
Hawkgirl is probably my second favorite character, but she just doesn't have the supporting cast and rogues gallery for her own show.
I'd say a Flash series or a GL corps series.

Funny!
In reality what would you think of a backstory series for Hawkgirl? You know maybe the end of the series is heading off to Earth. So in essense, the series would show her backstory on Thanagar (sp?)

i voted to see another series of Superman. its all about potential - I would pick another Batman series, but we already got 2. Not to mention, all of the people that made appearances in STAS (Supergirl, Steel, Flash, GL) they could all come back as well. superman's got some nasty villains, too. this is why i didn't pick all of the other people:
Wonder Woman - would run out of ideas REALLY quickly; not good enough villains; she already gets enough air time on JLU
Flash - he's kinda one-dimensional; I personally would get sick of the super-speed thing;
GL - this was a close second. Maybe a Kyle Rayner series - but Superman beat 'em out by a hair
Martian Manhunter - what would they make a series about him? what's there to talk about that hasn't already been said? MUCH LOVE GREENIE!
Hawkgirl - no. just...no.

I voted for Flash. His comic book origins would make for a great show:
He was the kid sidekick to the original Flash Barry Allen. Barry dies saving the world and Wally West takes up the mantel-first kid sidekick to do so, if my comic book knowledge is right. So he would have to deal with living in the former Flash's shadow, questioning if he is really worthy of the mask. Barry Allen could vibrate(ghost, whatever) through walls. Wally, at least in this cartoon, can't. They'd have to do a little fleshing out(to say the very least) but I think it could make a good series, don't you?

This is my general thought: if it is truly a solo series with only the occassional guest appearence from the other heroes, then three things are needed (other than a solid lead, of course)
1. A secret ID. Seeing Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne, and Terry McGinnis in their non-costumed lives was crucial to the success of their own series'.
2. A good rogue's gallery. Let's face it, one of the reasons Batman is so popular is because his foes are so memorable.
3. An interesting supporting cast. Just imagine the other shows without strong secondary characters. Come to think of it, Max on BB was pretty bad, IMO, and it detracted from the show because she was on so much.
While creative writers can come up with most of this but it's a lot smoother if these things are already in place. Looking at the five other Leaguers I think Flash and GL are the best choices. However, Flash's traditional rogue's gallery comes across as a copy of Batman's, and GL needs to have the Hawkgirl thing resolved.

Flash, without a doubt. He has one of the three best rogues galleries in comics (along with Batman and Spider-Man), has an interesting supporting cast and, most importantly, needs to be fleshed out the most as a character.
I'd pay good money to see an animated Captain Boomerang! :D

Flash would be great as a series, especially with his strong Rogue Gallery. A focused Flash series could also allow them more time for backstory(aka: establish Barry Allen and Wally having a career as Kid Flash)
Plus it'd allow them to give focus on Wally West, since they haven't managed to do that in JL.

I'd like to see a Martian Manhunter series. Something along the lines with him working as police detective John Jones I would find interesting. Maybe along the lines of Dick Tracy or something. With good writers and interesting stories, I think it could work. Make it TV-14 and put it on adult swim.

I'd like to see Diana get her own series. It's been over twenty years, so it's time. I think she could handle her own series, given a decent Rogue's Gallery.
I would love to see a GL Corps series, but I'd rather John be an occasional part of it than the focus (mainly because I wouldn't want to see him leaving the League). It would give all those folks who are saying "No no! Kyle!" and "No no! Hal!" something to chew on. Maybe show Kyle's years being trained up as a Lantern.
The Brave and the Bold suggestion made earlier sounds like a lot of fun; going between Flash and GL, with occasional team-ups, would leave plenty of room for both characters to also remain part of the League without bringing up *too* many questions. The problem is going to be the same we've had in every other series: if they go up against someone too strong, there's not going to be any reason not to call in the rest of the League, and if they don't go up against anyone BIG, there'll be a let-down from previous series.
I prefer the rest of the characters together. I've seen enough Batman and Superman solo work to make me happy, and I just don't see J'onn or Hawkgirl carrying a series alone and still reaching the target demographic.

A show just about the Flash would be kinda interesting, that and the Green Latern, I also wouldn't mind another Superman show.
I like how Flash doesn't have ultimate power (like Superman), but isn't like sneaky or anything like Batman either, all he has is super speed, and I think it'd turn out pretty interesting with a character with powers like him made into a series.
Crimson
09-09-2004, 07:07 PM
My first choice would be Wonder Woman. I would be more interested in seeing further adventures of Superman or Batman, than in a cartoon starring any of the other League members, aside from Wonder Woman.
A Flash cartoon could certainly work, but I would not want to see the Flash of JUSTICE LEAGUE in his own series -- it would have to be a different Flash. This Flash's stale, cornball humor is tolerable in small doses, but I couldn't take a full half hour of it weekly.
A Green Lantern cartoon could similarly work, but not with John Stewart. He's too rigid and harsh, IMO, to be a sympathetic lead, although he works fine as part of an ensemble. I would also have no interest in a Green Lantern Corps cartoon; a series based on a team all of whose powers are identitical would be tedious.
Doc Rock
09-10-2004, 04:41 AM
Had to vote for Flash. He has one of the best Rogue's Galleries ever created. They are all fun and radically different, and you could have original weekly episodes for months and never see the same villain twice. The only other hero in the DCU that can come close is the Bat, and his RG is mainly filled with lunatics.
GL would be a close 2nd. But only if they did a 'Tales of the Green Lantern Corp' kind of thing. Maybe with 6 or 7 core ring-slingers(Stewart, Jordan, Tomar Re, Katma Tui, etc.) who alternated with their adventures, along with the occassional Kronos, Sinestro, Qwardian, Manhunter arc that called for all 3600 GLs to show up armed and dangerous... :D
And no Raynor. Hell even take Gardner before Raynor. But actually I'm holding out hope for a GLC movie that is part Top Gun / part Last Starfighter.:cool:

Watch "Eclipsed".
Okay, I walked into that one..."Eclipsed" was my least-favorite episode from teh last season and I think I've just tried to block it all from my mind. :) I meant an animated version of the REAL Captain Boomerang, spouting off threats in a cheesy Austrailian accent and strapping Flash to giant boomerangs. A threat an entire episode could be focused around.
I'd pay good money for THAT. For "Eclipsed," I'm still waiting for the check. :p
I'll bite. That'd be insulting to the burgeoning market BTAS-to-JLU shows have in Australia. Giant boomerangs. The commercial was funny but the god-awful American attempt/parody of the accent should surely only have a place in a setting like that or the Bart V Aus Simpsons episode.
That, or voice actors could try to do a decent job of it/be allowed by their bosses to pefect it more.
OR, get one of the many Australian actors currently doing well in the movie business over there in the US now to lend their vocal cords. The only one that's ever done it is Disney and this was in a computer generated cartoon movie about fish! Crikey!
Ahem.
As for the topic here, what about a Green Lantern series that takes advantage of the fact that the Earth's GL is not a fixed position, but handed down throughout the show's run. Not necessarily after each 'season' ends, because that'd be a bit too quick and jarring. Imagine that a Green Lantern series has come and gone and during its run we saw Jordan, Rayner, Stewart, Gardner all featuring in the lead role as the Green Lantern. Of course, seeing stories that they individually featured in in the comics adapted for television. This Parallax character for example, that could be utilised, am I right? Here's a good analogy, imagine throughout Buffy's run she was actually succeeded by other slayers and we saw the show change every so often to fit the new lead character. Two posts talking about Buffy. Bloody hell.

Even though he's gotten the most exposure (by far), I'd still say another Batman series that's in continuity with the rest of the DCAU. I'm sure the other heroes would be good - a Flash or Green Lantern show would be really cool, and I think Superman also deserved a longer solo life - but as long as its a quality show, on par with the same storytelling from the best BTAS and TNBA episodes, a more Batman is what I'd always root for. :)

Well, personally I think the Crocodile Hunter's done far more damage to the Australian people than Capt. Boomerang ever could, but that's just me. :)
Seriously, in the comics it's been established that Australians tend to regard Boomerang as an idiot and have made efforts to keep him out of the country. I think incorporating that idea into the series would be a quick-and-simple sidestep to any potential insult.

My first choice would be for The Flash. His powers were obviously toned down in JL (as were Superman's, when you get right down to it), so I'd like to see how a solo career would boost his skills. If there were no other heroes to balance him out, they could finally make him run somewhere close to light speed. Plus we'd get to see some cosmic treadmill, time-travel action!
My other choice is Wonder Woman. She handled two seasons of television 20 years ago. I think she could handle an animated series, now. The only problem I can see is a lack of a secret identity. I'm not saying she should open up a fashion boutique, but there has to be a way for her to live quietly on Earth. Plus we might get to see her try to reconnect with her amazon sisters, and get her ban raised.

Wonder Woman without a doubt.
Actually, Diana has a lot of great Villains, she just doesn't have a lot of good writers that are able to write them well. Wonder Woman has such a rich history that she could easily last for four seasons without worry.
Let's see...
Possible ideas that's sure to keep the writers busy.
THE CONTEST itself. (Her origin)
A good portrayal of ARES, not that Hawk and Dove Ares.
Several stories on George Perez's version of the CHEETAH.
A story about WONDER GIRL. Both versions.
Then there's ARTEMIS, another of Diana's sisters but with major attitude.
Don't forget all of the possible stories about the GODS of Mt. Olympus.
Then there's an arc about DR. PSYCHO.
DR. CYBER, a powerful female robot.
DEVASTATION, a 12 year old demon child with Wonder Woman's powers.
There's DECAY, a demon that turns you old simply by touching you.
The return of ARESIA.
The SILVER SWAN, basically Hawkgirl with a major attitude.
HERCULES himself; that could be a major battle among titans.
Then there's the plain ol' HOOD type stories.
Then there's the superhero guest stars.
The WHITE MAGICIAN and the entire Loeb Storyline.
STEVE TREVOR stories.
Good CIRCE stories.
Powerless wonder Woman stories.
Diana using the GAUNTLET OF ATLAS stories.
The possibilities are endless, people.

Realistically, I'd say Supergirl or Green Arrow are the ones likely to spin off from JLU.
I remember reading, it was either right before or after Batman Beyond first went on the air, that WBA had pitched a Supergirl series to KidsWB. So at least a minor part of the work is already done if they wanted to go with that idea again.
Actually, I wouldn't mind a Supergirl series. Toss in a Superman appearance (a given), a Green Arrow appearance (I like the Supergirl/Green Arrow dynamic on JLU), and a Batgirl appearance (to build on their friendship from TNBSA, if they can get the rights to BG again), do 8 stand alone adventures and a two-part season finale and think you'd have a decent season of superhero entertainment.
Out of the seven main characters from JL, however, I voted for Superman. Even though JL/U has kind of given us the somewhat of a fourth season of Superman: TAS (between "Secret Origins," "War World," "Twilight," "A Better World," "Hereafter," "For The Man Who Has Everything," "Fearful Symitry" and Static Shock's "Toys in the Hood") I still think there are plenty of good stories to tell about the Man of Steel. And with the new movie chugging along I'd say he has a far better chance of getting a new series (even if it's one like The Batman) than say Wonder Woman or any of the others.
If I couldn't get a new Superman series I'd go with Flash, Wonder Woman, and then GL (Corps). In that order.

Allow me to be biased for a second............BATMAN !!!!! :D :D
Now that I have that out of my system, I'd probanly go with Flash. When I look at the other characters (who haven't had there own shows) I think that Flash has more character/personality. A GL show would be great, but I think that John's a little bland. Put in Hal or Kyle, then It'll work. With Flash you would get a more interesting hero. He wouldn't be the boy scout Superman is, and he wouldn't be as dark as Batman. Flash is cocky and a little arrogant, so I see him as more of a regular guy. So.... I'd go with Flash or GL.
I'd love a Wonder Woman series. Green Lantern corps as a close second, but I'd love to have a female lead. There's so much good material that could really give her more depth. They gave us a taste of street-clothes Diana in JLU. More would be nice.
Batman has had plenty of time on screen and it's a little hard for me to get excited over more of the same when there could be a whole new world with a whole new feel--like the difference from B:TAS to S:TAS.

I voted for Flash first. Terrific Rogues Gallery. Over the course of one or two seasons, they could mature him out of his current flippant, "teenager" personality into someone more serious (but still with a quick wit, if you'll forgive the pun). They'd need to broaden his powers to be more like the comics--complete control of molecules (e.g. phasing), give him his cosmic treadmill back for an ep or two; perhaps slow him down a bit so he's easier to write.
A Diana series would be very interesting, particularly as outlined above. It ties for second choice with a GL series in my mind. I'd rather see Rayner or Jordan than Stewart, though--I find his JL personality too one-dimensional.
But I'd break with the rest of the board and would rather see a straight Green Lantern series over a GL Corps one. Green Lantern, done properly, can easily stand on his own, with only one or two GL Corp appearances a season. He has a pretty decent rogues gallery from the comics--Tattooed Man, Black Hand, Polaris, Star Sapphire, Hector Hammond, not to mention Sinestro. Throw in a GA appearance or two, a Flash crossover two-parter, a Guardians ep, a Tomar Re or Katma Tui guest star, and half a dozen solo eps (including a few visiting other planets in his space sector), and you'd have a damn fine series.
You know, the more I think about it, the more I like GL. May have to move him to my number one choice. :D

Silverbolt

I'm probably the only one that would want to see a Hawkgirl series. Frankly I think that she's by far the best character on JL that hasn't already had their own series (and even if you throw in that only Bats is better) Sure she doesn't have a Rogue gallary or not much of one, but thats not anything that can't be easily fixed, those characters after all had none to start with at some point. I would throw in Stewart with her and develop the relationship more as well, GL has some villians and as stated a GL themed show would work. As for the others here is why I'd shoot them down.
WW--Hideously bad character in the show, boring and completely one dimensional. Everything that I've seen members of this board say about Hawkgirl is far more true about WW then her. personally I thought that WW was better as the pig.
Flash--Like the character, but he's strickly sidekick material with how he's handled in JL. Great in small doses but when he's carrying a episode you end up with Eclipse (and yeah Hawkgirl is probably sidekick material too but I'm a big Hawkgirl fanboy, and well when she's carrying a episode you get Terror Beyond and Starcrossed)
MM--Probably could work, but his character doesn't really have a major personality on the show and I think that you'd need something like that to work.
Batman--Batman is always cool, you could have Batman TAS--the retirement years and it would probably still be one of the top animated shows around. But he's had plenty of time and I want something new.
Superman--A male WW, to me there just isn't anything to the character. And I really don't like characters that are close to all powerful.
GL--It would work, but I would want Kyle or hal to be the main earth GL. Jon would work only with Hawkgirl in tow. He's alot more interesting then. Notice that when he was with Hawkgirl he had more of a personality and used his ring more creatively.
of the others
Green Arrow--I think he'd end up being something like Batman with arrows, so of course a series would do fine.
Aquaman--I don't think it would work, but he's a kick butt character that should be involved at some point in any JL era series.

I'm probably the only one that would want to see a Hawkgirl series. Frankly I think that she's by far the best character on JL that hasn't already had their own series (and even if you throw in that only Bats is better) Sure she doesn't have a Rogue gallary or not much of one, but thats not anything that can't be easily fixed, those characters after all had none to start with at some point. I would throw in Stewart with her and develop the relationship more as well, GL has some villians and as stated a GL themed show would work.
I agree. I think a Hawkgirl stand alone would be great. What would you think of a prequel of sorts, telling her story before she got the justice league or earth?

I think that it could work, but it would really limit the number of guest stars that could be brought in from the DC world. Even a GL appearance couldn't happen since the Latern corp hasn't been that far yet.

Yeah it would limit them but I think b.t. and Co. could do some intresting things with it. just my 2 cents

I also think that one of the things that make Hawkgirl work in JL is the fact that she is exotic, put her in a setting where all the characters have the same features, and you lose that. While I think it could work, I don't know how well it would be recieved. A show where heros and villians all have the same abilities and their battle is with a single race. I don't think you could do a 36 episode series with that and keep it fresh.

Probably right but it might make an intersting DVR, maybe a 90 or 60 min episode

That I could go with. Do something like that with each of the five members that didn't previously have a series, something to give their backstories and what not. Which ever character had the best sales I'd consider giving a series, set around JL time perhaps prior to starting the league since all of them had to do something to be considered a member of the main seven. Well expect Jonn.

That would be awesome! Wish it would happen

Silverbolt, you are a genius! The idea of giving each original Leager their own 60-70 min DTV & whichever sells the most or is most popular with the fans, gets it's own series! I would buy all 7 DTV & would more than likely vote for a GL or GLC series! You could do 4 seasons of GL adventures by giving Hal, John, Guy & Kyle 1 season each & then rotating them in their season finale! For example, the guardians want each earth born Lantern to do 1yr tours of duty on earth & then let the other earth born Lantern take over for a yr. You can have 1 or 2 teamup episodes featuring Green Arrow, Flash or Supes & some episodes can show what the other GLs are doing in other parts of the universe! Or a tales of the GLC animated series would work for me as well! Either way, I think a GLTAS is the next DCAU series for Bruce Timm to do!

I would get the Hawkgirl, GL, and possibly Flash movie. Definatley the Hawkgirl one. That one I would have pre-ordered months in advance the others would be pickups when I was bored and wanted to see something. The others I might rent depending on what others thought of them. Course I'm a major Hawkgirl fan too, really don't like to many episodes of JL that don't have her involved, heck I'm even going to try to make a Microman Hawkgirl, just need to find a Hawkgirl figure that is around the right size to match up with the female Microman that I have for the job.

I was just curious which character, most people thought deserved a show of their own.
It's been a couple of months so maybe people's opinions have changed

Batman. Still. Again. The good ol' B:TAS version, not the long-eared, tiny-ankled JL Batman.

Im really getting tired of Batman series, "The Batman" is laready a new Batman show, and its not that good. Frankly im bored of Batman, i would rather see someone like Flash getting a new show.

How dare you for even counting "The Batman" along with the others! *vomits violently upon Allen's post*
I said B:TAS Batman. As in, the GOOD version. The best series in the entire DCAU.:D

If B:TAs is revived that'd be good. But it probably won't happen. Oh well, I hope JLU continues for a while personally.

John Stewart and Kyle Rayner: Buddy Cops.
One's all business with a fun streak. The other's all fun who knows how to take care of business.
Together they patrol the galaxy... like the Men In Black, they protect the Earth, and everywhere else, from the Scum of the Universe.
They always have each others' back. Except when one forgets the other's birthday.
John: It's a stupid birthday!
Kyle: It's MY stupid birthday!!
Green Lanterns. Coming soon to Cartoon Network.
Any of the original seven except Batman and Superman.

No. Batman and Superman have had their time in the sun and although the other 5 are interesting characters, I can't really see them in a solo series.

What do you all think of a Green Lantern Corp. series? John Stewart would be in it as well as Kyle but it would expand on the GL's policeing the universe.

The more and more I think about it, it would just be such an awesome show. They could go into the history of the GL corp. past GL and things of that nature. Maybe an occasional cameo by some of the JLU.

I personally wouldn't want any more solo series -- JL is exactly the DCAU series I always wanted. The JL versions of Wonder Woman and Flash couldn't carry a series, and most people seems to hate the episodes that focused in any way on the Green Lantern Corps (personally I loved In Darkest Night), so I can't really see a solo series working at this point, with these characters.

Really, I personally think a GL corp series would be well recieved.

I think it *would* be fun, but I'd miss seeing all the other DC characters now that we've seen them in JLU.

I can see your point but I'm sure if, it ever happened, there would be plenty of cameos. This is all hypothetical of course.
