- DC Comics have been around for nearly a century and it didn't take them long to start making movies and tv shows. Most characters have appeared somewhere but even now there are still some very significant characters who have never appeared anywhere in live action.

The Question is very underrated and he deserves a tv show or movie
💯💯💯
Yeah you would think with him having no powers it would be very cheap and easy to do on liveaction as a mystery show.
@@MistarZtv I would love to see a film noir style show about the Question
Thats what im sayinggg
I have seen faceless faces before, so that shouldn't be a problem
i think the fact that The Mask came out in 94 shows they definitely could’ve made a Plastic Man movie in the mid 90s with decent fx
I'm honestly shocked Power Girl has never appeared in live-action at all. I feel they had ample opportunities to introduce her in the Arrowverse Pre-Crisis during one of the crossovers.
Wonder if it’s because of the Quadruple D’s
@@Bugga-Ray-Dudley LMAOOO
@@Bugga-Ray-Dudley I can see that being a reason why they didn't have her appear as an alternare Supergirl. I mean, it would be awkward if the same folks who said "hey Melissa, we're going to have your suit have pants because you might be freezing in the Canadian winter with your legs naked" then went like "hey Melissa, can you put this suit that uncovers your legs even more and has a big hole on your chest?"
@@NIDELLANEUM companies probably see a character design like that and see visions of the future like that one Nic Cage movie of getting a bunch of bad publicity over it being sexist and “sexualizing females” and they just steer clear
Imagine they did batman beyond in the arrow verse instead of batwoman
WHEN A CHARACTER THAT HAS BEING DEAD FOR 42 YEARS LIKE GRANT WILSON, GET TO BE A MAIN VILLAIN BUT A SUPER IMPORTANT CHARACTER AS WALLY WEST HAS NEVER APPEAR A SINGLE TIME IN LIVE ACTION YOU KNOW THAT SOMETHING'S WRONG
With John Stewart, you missed a version. There was going to be a version of John Stewart that appeared in the canceled Justice League mortal film with the rapper Common playing John Stewart
Good catch. I actually mentioned JL: Mortal later in the video but forgot to add that.
@@TheBlackLion001 glad I caught it then 😂
Actually Jon Stewart was in zack snyder justice league played by Wayne t carr but got deleted by WB
@@abps9947 That was mentioned in the video.
This kind of thing makes me value the animated stuff so much, specially Young Justice and the DCAU.
I would love to see Etrigan in live action😄
I want to see him in constatine 2
me too!
Hope he comes in swamp thing
I think the characters who deserve a live action appearance the most are probably John Stewart, Damian Wayne and Terra Markov.
I hope James Gunn is going to make a Justice League movie with the OG members, but also with Green Lantern (Hal or John) & Martian Manhunter
I don't know if this counts, but technically Plasticman appeared during some live action segments of his 1979 cartoon
Technically we already had Plasticman in the form of Enlongated man from the Flash tv show because Plastic man and Enlongated man have the same powers
@@RyguyTheGreat22 theyre different characters tho
@@RyguyTheGreat22 ye same powers but completely different characters
@@pewpew5252 Tell that to the CW. They gave Elongated Man the character traits of Plastic Man.
@@TheGentlemanVox But they are still completely different characters.
Simon Baz hasn’t appeared in any tv show or movie. The only Green Lantern to not appear anywhere but a videogame.
It's a shame nobody ever talks about Kyle Rayner. His white lantern stuff is some of my favourite lantern storytelling
@@rim7115 I’m reading the Sinestro War comic
He was in the Lego direct to video movies.
@@abiodunsulaiman2297 who was? Kyle Rayner or Simon Baz?
@@tombstonerforever9374 simon
Alan Scott was in Batman The Brave And The Bold 😤🐐
I'm surprised cw never used the question
John Stewart deserved his Justice League debut!!!!
Correction, John Stewart deserved his live action debut.
@@trevturp6891 That’s… exactly the same as what I said
The Arrowverse adaptation isn’t based off Wally West, it is based off solely on Wallace West.
True
plastic man was in the flash tv show the actor just got fired for mocking black lives matter
@@thepubknight6144 that was elongated man
@@thepubknight6144 1. Did you watch the show? That wasn’t Plastic Man, that was Elongated Man. 2. The comment I made has nothing to do with what you said.
@@trevturp7687 Simpsons comic book guy in real life
John Stewart was my first Green Lantern too. I think that he was my first Black superhero. I have always loved him in the Justice League cartoon.
So many A and S tier DC superheroes and villains that should be in live action. My number 1 is JL dark and 2 is the question
Wally was my favourite flash just because of how much faster he is.
Yeah, wished they had a ginger Wally, not black Wallace.
Ted Kord hasn’t appeared either
Out of all of these characters, I'd love for The Question and The Grifter to get their own limited series (high quality), Captain Atom, Wonder Girl and Power Girl to appear as side characters in movies, Black Racer vs The Flash in a Darkseid invasion, and just literally everything to do with the Green Lantern corps, as well as Wally West
Big wishlist, low probability haha
In the case of Damien, and how older Batflek is (especially in-universe), they could still have a 'son of Batman' thing.
Yes, but the lack of Robins is still an issue, hopefully The Flash fixes that.
This comment aged poorly.
@@LordSnurdle In my defense, this was before we learned that DC films might reboot or not.
@@scifiguy9000 I kind of figured, I still don’t know wether to be disappointed about that or excited.
Hopefully James Gunn will bring us many of these characters. Someone should share this video with him
Alan Scott getting the raw end of the stick... Hmm that's funny considering 💅✨
💀
The black lion : this character really got the raw end of the stick.
Me: 😏
Donna Troi was in the Linda Carter Wonder Woman show played by Deborah Winger.
Plastic Man appeared in live action segments between cartoons played by Taylor Marks in the Plastic Man Adventure Hour.
Wondergirl was called Drusilla on Wonder Woman with Linda Carter was also in the nineteen forties in the story.
John Stewart being Relegated to an HBO MAX show rather then actually letting him debut in the Justice League sorta kills my Supprt for DC,and I can't believe how far They've allowed the Teen Titans:The most Celebrated/Iconic/and Popular Teenage Superhero Team in the World to just be Relegated to Teen Titans Go.
As for Captain Atom, why not adapt the Charlton version before he was made metallic looking? The blue costume he had looked great.
definitly the original Captain Atom had the cool steve ditko look
CW has made a Booster Gold on Legends of Tomorrow but i don't really count it even though it is the same Booster Gold
That would leave Smallville's Booster Gold as his only proper live action appearence
Having Adam West return as old Bruce in 2000 would've been cool.
Also the fact they had a batman beyond movie in mind with Michael Keaton as old bruce would've been cool.
Aren't they making a john stewert live action show?
I want DC to hire me so I can draw all these guys, seems so fun
Do this with marvel
Arrowverse wanted to use Ted Kord abd The Question. In fact Brandon Routhe was going to play Ted Kord. However Warner Bros. vetoed it because they said they were "planning" to use those characters in future projects but those never came to fruition
Not a major character, but he has the potential to be a great lead for a show...Blue Devil. Think about it, it's The Fall Guy if he was trapped in a suit that makes him super powered.
Blue Devil did technically appear in the Swamp Thing show
A: What if the Dark Universe was built-in the MCU structure?
B: What if the DuckTales Universe was built-in the MCU structure?
Interesting to know that for the generation who grew up in the 00s John Stewart and Wally West are their Green Lantern and Flash. For me, having grown up in the70s, Hal Jordan and Barry Allen are my GL and Flash and Wally is my Kid Flash.
I grew up in the mid to late nineties, so for me it was Wally West and Kyle Rayner.
At least you acknowledge that canonically Wally West has appeared just not in the way you'd prefer.
You should do some of the other characters u missed in a part 2
I hope the Batman who Laughs appears in a movie someday.
Actually, it is true, he hasn’t appeared in live action, the adaptation of “Wally West” that we got in the Arrowverse isn’t an adaptation of Wally West, it is an adaptation of Wallace West.
You know they’re the same person right? There are three people named Wallace West in DC comics, all have “Wally” as their nickname.
@@LordSnurdle ¿?
Wallace West was only created after the the debut of CW's Wally West so he's not an adaptation of Wallace but Wally
@@eatsomeoranges8936 WALLACE APPEAR IN 2013 IN THE NEW 52, BUT HE BECAME KID FLASH UNTIL REBIRTH IN 2016
@@LordSnurdle True, but the adaptation of “Wally West” that we got in the Arrowverse is an adaptation of Wallace West, not Wally West.
I want to see Etrigan in live action
As much as I would love a Static movie or show I think a Batman Beyond movie/show visually would be more interesting. That sci-fi setting mixed with Batman would be awesome and I wish DC would try that instead of rebooting Bruce Wayne all the time.
They should have Ben Affleck play as an old old Bruce Wayne. People want Keaton, but I feel it’d be more impactful for Affleck to pick up a gun and resign out of fear.
Also, Jaden Smith for Static! He gets so much unnecessary hate from one bad M. Night Shamalan movie but he’s still a good actor who would fit the role perfectly.
@@HoodedSpidey it wouldn't have any impact, both Keaton's Batman and Affleck's are known for killing, they should do it with George Clooney (maybe even Val Kilmer) if we go for the impact of a Batman with a no killing rule that, out of the need to survive, picks a gun and quits being Batman. Also, give the man a second chance he can probably pull it off lol.
@@ivanagustinortiz5237everyone’s killed lol, but Affleck’s arc across BvS & Justice League is a redemption after a fall from grace. Remember he could’ve branded Lex but had mercy.
Judo master appeared in stargirl has a small cameo in season 3
So funny to see how this aged
Any lesser known DC characters you could think of who hasn’t appeared in live action? The ones I’d like to see are Red Lion, Marilyn Moonlight, & Ghost Maker, those 3 are dope.
I will never stop my crusade till they give Terry his goddamn movie
Metal Men, Metamorpho, Adam Stange, Space Ranger, Cryll, Zook, Ultra the Multi alien, Sea Devils, Challengers of the unknown, Aquagirl, and Aqualad have not appeared yet in Live action. I read Captain Atoms comics don't recall him ever exploding in them.
Yeah because Captain Atom rarely explodes in them. Writers just nerf him outside of his own comics and go with the fact his near indestructible metallic skin can be broken if you hit him hard, which is not true because that guy is a Superman level character when it comes to his durability and a powerhouse in his own right.
Aqualad and Adam strange have
Actually Batman is easily the most important and most prominent member of The Batfamily.
That would be awesome, I wanna see Timothy Chalamet, Jace Norman, Jack Griffo or Connor Jessup as Terry McGinnis, China Ann McClain or Skai Jackson or Riele Downs
What about John Diggle, pretty sure he changed his last name to Stewart, to reflect his step Father last name, a decorated Marine/Soldier. and he was implied to be a Green Lantern at the end of Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Green Lantern, Hawkman & Hawkgirl, Atom, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Question, Doctor Fate, Martian Manhunter, Mister Terrific, Adam Strange, Orion, Young Justice, Supergirl, Etrigan the Demon
Better late than not but dissapointed it took till 2021 for Darkseid and Martian Manhunter to finally be in live action on screen.
I was so Sad any of The Dc Characters never gotten their own solo movie
We had Sylvester Pemberton star spangled kid on Smallville along with stargirl
Booster gold was on smallville too
@@nicarmendariz9079 and Jamie Reyes blue beetle
Phantom Stranger, Professor Chimp, Al Pratt, Terry Sloane, Stephanie Brown, Duke Thomas, David Zavimbe, Jean Paul Valley,
Steph was in Batwoman and Gotham Knights
@@arkhamedits Oh yeah I forgot, Carrie Kelley & Bluebird will appear as well
phantom stranger was in swamp thing
Deadman would be like Quantum Leap, only dead with Rama Kushna, only he can see and hear when he is in someone's body.
Superframe Made a good video of how to build a good green lantern movie with a TV show and it’s shows how they can work in live action
Honorable mention is hawkgirl like you can’t have hawk man appear without hawkgirl is crazy to me 😢
both already appeared in smallville & arrowverse
Well she's gonna be in the new Superman movie next year so yeah
Batwoman beyond is in the arrowverse earth prime tie in comics aswell
that is batwoman tho
I just want my buddy cop movie about Booster Gold and Blue Beetle (Ted Kord).
W VID GOAT
I mean... I got SOME idea with Azrael appearing in movies DCU. As far as we know, Jason Todd is already dead in DCU, so that can mean and Dick Grayson already exists in DCU also.
Basically what about making a movie of Batman about how Jean-Paul becomes new Batman after death / coma of Bruce Wayne and his mentor would be Nightwing, trying to cope with death / coma of Bruce while they both try to find Bane, and in the process Dick would realise that Jean-Paul is not ready and Jean-Paul would be the actual antagonist in the movie. After their first fight, Nightwing would lose and Jean-Paul would throw away Batman mask, recolour his whole costume to look more like Azrael. After that Dick would take Batman costume and use voice changer (like Ben Affleck's Batman) to try to impersonate Bruce, then defeat Azrael, but seeing that people need Batman, he would accept the title of Batman
That's just how I would replace Ben Affleck's Batman
Hopefully we are getting this live action static movie by mbj
Wasn’t Alan Scott KIND OF in Stargirl, yes it was a cameo I think, but… still(?)
Yeah
As long as Giganta is on here.
Edit:
Oh well, you didn't place her on your list.
Wonder Girl was on the Wonder Woman tv show
is the keanu's john constantine in the dceu? I kind of forgot everything about the movie
No, unless they retcon it
@@Twisthiphop we'll have to wait and see how Constantine 2 plays out, the fact that this movie is still happening after the changes to DC Films is a big red flag for Keanu being the main DCEU/DCU Constantine. So maybe they retcon both into the DCEU
I doubt that WB has the money to put any of these characters on the big screen. They should just sell DC, at this point...smh
They won't do that dc that company biggest money maker but they will put different dc shows on other streamers like Amazon or netflix like sandman
@@liveanddieinchicagoliveand7074
Yeah, but they canceled Sandman (on Netflix) already because it costed too much to make. They're looking at either making DC content on a shoestring budget or selling DC in order to get a substantial cash infusion for their company...
@@mattchew6426 Naw Sandman was renewed on netflix
@@mattchew6426 DC good where its at i trust james gunn. The problem was zack snyder trash film universe he gone thank god
@@mattchew6426 Warner bros boss zaslav has said he going to put some dc shows and other Warner bros shows on different streamers everything won't just stay on hbo max. Batman caped crusader series going to another streamer different streamers bidden for that show. Zaslav already next year they will be spending more money they want harry potter movie and harry potter show list goes on he said all 4 dc films will come out next year
So we're not counting the live-action section of The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show
DC has so many amazing characters that haven't been utilized I mean they could even do it the Justice League Unlimited way just have a movie where there's some major threat and there's several characters like say Red Tornado, Vigilante, Blue Beetle, Steel, etc. Fighting the thing maybe needing help then bring in the main Justice League cast to finish the thing off, so they can have the characters everyone wants to see that maybe they don't think are worthy of having a full movie or series.
Just thinking of a fun list. Characters who were hinted at in a show or movie but never appeared and an other list, characters that are highly unlikely to appear based on difficulty of making them look right, possibly offensive name or general obscurity or unpopularity.
I know characters related to Metamorpho were on Flash Plastic Man could work Flash had a stretchy guy too
Never liked how WB sees 1 failure as a chance to reboot or drop a franchise.
Part of me wants to see Hitman (Tommy Monaghan) in live action, but they would just mess him up.
One of my favorites was The Creeper
I'd like to see the Inferior Five!
If they introduced power girl do you think they would heavily censor her appearance?
I really hope to get a great justice league film wid the dcau lineup except I want gL to be hal and flash to be Barry although jon and wally being there wouldn't be bad for me
In every aspect the Arrowverse adapted the original Wally West
The Question needs either a show on HBOMax created by James Gunn or a noir film. I would LOVE to see a movie that's just about him uncovering conspiracies without a ton of other heroes!
If they're trying to go lower budget on their TV shows, the Question would be the perfect place to start. That or maybe Sandman Mystery Theater.
@@Red-Wolf-Ben yeah fr! all they’d need is like a good mask or some minor cg and they’d be good
Donna Troy as Wonder Girl needs to appear in Wonder Woman 3, Connor Kent/Kon-El needs to appear in Man Of Steel 2, Nightwing, Bab’s Batgirl, Batwoman, Red Hood, Tim’s Robin, Jean’s Azrael, Bluebird, civilian Carrie Kelley, Spoiler, Cassandra as Blackbat or Orphan need to appear a Batfleck movie or movies or Batman & Superman World’s Finest movie or movies, than eventually Damian Wayne
No mention of Firestorm?
WAITT
Plastic man appeared in love action in plastic man’s corner of super friends
And Allan Scott’s picture is there in stargirl on the justice society picture , though I guess that’s a cameo
Alan Scott had a one second cameo in smallville
You forgot Jade from Stargirl who is the second live action green lantern and first female
They had alien females in Green Lantern movie as I recall but wasn't Jade then.
Plastic man has been in live action in the plastic man comady hour
Look up Blinky500’s The Question fan series. He did the effect perfectly without CGI.
I wanna see white Wally
Lilith should appear on teen Titans
I would love to see wally west and i mean the real wally west no offense to the one from the flash he is a version of wally i think hes has gone by wallace west if im not mistaken and he is really good but i feel like a lot of us would like it if they could introduce the true wally west to the dceu maybe in the flash 2 or something depending on how the film turns out since after that ezra miller will no longer be the flash
I am still waiting for Outsiders and Power Company
If they do make a plastic man movie. At least make it a comedic superhero one. Given plastic man is a funny character
Damn you didn't have to do Captain Atom like that with the exploding joke. That guy is one of my top favorites in DC but writers really love to disrespect that guy and make him basically useless and weak especially compared to the other heroes.
Good
They probably cant get karate kid in live action because of the trademark and stuff like that.
I like your video, but you left out a lot of important topics. For example, I like how you brought up the Grifter, but what about CyberForce? Why did you not mention Bluejay, Zauriel, The Creeper, The Signal, Spoiler, and Flamebird, Aztek, The Wonder Twins, Man-Bat, and Bat-Mite?
The Wonder Twins have been in live action before, in an episode of Smallville.
@@Red-Wolf-Ben , wow! I heard plans were in development for CW to include Wonder Twins into their Arrowverse, but it all went up in "smoke" years ago. What have you heard regarding characters like Flamebird, Spoiler, Astek, the Signal, and the Creeper?
@@seanholmes7482 Only one of those I know of with live-action would be Spoiler, cause Batwoman had Stephanie Brown in one episode that featured the Cluemaster. She never got a costume nor became Spoiler, but... it's something.
@@Red-Wolf-Ben , thanks for the memories by mentioning Stephanie Brown's appearance in CW's Batwoman! Still, it is a shame that the comic book original Batgirl (aka: Bette Kane) could not get a cinema appearance. Do you think DC's Bette Kane or Spoiler will be in WB's near future cinema plans?
@@seanholmes7482 Who knows? DC's TV and movie plans seem to all be in chaos right now, so many things getting announced and then axed... no telling what will still be here once the dust settles.
Anthony Carrigan will be Metamorpho
The Sentry and/or The Void would be awesome, however, that would have to be a very high budgeted movie.
Edit: Yes I do realize sentry is Marvel.
@@legostuds680 Yea... true I suppose.
Holy shit Michael Keaton is 71???
Wasn’t plastic man in The Flash series?
The part where you’re talking about plastic man no offense, but have you not seen Jim Carrey’s the mask, and all of the crazy cartoony stretchy CGI they used in that movie they could’ve done the exact same thing for plastic man, so it’s really not as hard as you’re making it out to be
DC has so many characters but sucks that they focus way too much on Superman and Batman
It took awhile to get a GL movie and purposely sabotaged it, Wonder Woman movies that aren't that good, Aquaman movies that have an abuser as a lead in the 1st movie and when we get a Flash Movie (my favorite DC hero) and what happens we get an actor that went off the deep end
Edit: She Hulk was breaking the 4th wall long before Deadpool was even a thing
Batman sales is the reason why he sales more then any dc character he even out sales marvel characters in comic sales. batman so popular that new characters in his universe become popular and of course the bat family popularity. Everytime dc tries new characters or lesser known characters the books don't sell well thats why dc always put batman or superman in thoses characters books to try to get the readers to read
