DC Characters Who Deserve Their Own Movie

Who among DC Comics' long list of do-gooders, ne'er-do-wells, and everyone in between most deserve their own shots at cinematic greatness? That's what we're here to answer. Keep watching to find out which DC characters deserve their own movie.

Life in Gotham City is tough for everyone. Sure, you'll get to see the bat-signal splashed across the clouds every once in a while, but is that worth the headache of the Batmobile tying up downtown traffic? Now imagine being a Gotham City Police Department detective. That's the plight of Renee Montoya.

Created for Batman: The Animated Series, she came into her own within the pages of the Gotham Central story arc "Half A Life," in which she's outed as a lesbian. Her life is never smooth, from her romantic entanglements to her disillusionment with the system she works within. One of her most notable exploits is assuming the mantle of the Question, a faceless hero who does the work that an officer of the law cannot. Her deep-seated devotion to making the world a better place always endures, in spite of brutal memories, regrets, and too many bottles of liquor. She's exactly the sort of complex character that DC movies deserve.

The Martian Manhunter is a bit of a collage as far as superheroes go. Sometimes his backstory indicates that he comes from a populous Mars full of sentient life, while other versions cast him as the last of his race. His name implies a ferocity that doesn't define him. Though he's had multiple solo titles to his name, he's probably best known as a member of the Justice League. He's also an obsessive fan of a certain brand of chocolate sandwich cookie. This is all to say that he contains multitudes, and that's exactly why he deserves his own movie.

Just picture it: Alone on a strange planet, Martian Manhunter attempts to blend in with the local populace, but with subpar results. 2019's Shazam! demonstrated just how much fun DC movies can be while telling a fish-out-of-water story, so why not take it to an interplanetary scale? While Billy Batson was a kid confronted with adult responsibilities, Manhunter is a poised adult marooned in a world that he doesn't understand, but still wants to save. He's a calm, meditative presence, sure, but he also doesn't realize how hilarious he looks in a gaudy Christmas sweater. Keep watching the video to see all the DC characters who deserve their own movie.
