Last year was a great year to be a DC Comics fan who also likes TV, as we had four series on the air at one time (Arrow, Flash, Constantine, and Gotham) with a fifth (iZombie) waiting in the wings. With the 2015-2016 development season, adaptations of Supergirl and the Vertigo series Lucifer are soon to be filmed.
Assuming this good fortune comes for DC in the future, what projects could be looked at next? We’ve listed eleven that we’d like to see; if you have your own additions, leave comments. A concerted effort was also made to include properties from DC’s Vertigo imprint, which is what spawned Lucifer and iZombie in the first place.
We haven’t done a column like this in a while, but the last time we did, in May 2013, our choices included The Flash, Titans or Nightwing, and Gotham, so let’s see if we have the same kind of predictive luck this time around.
So, here are some show suggestions. Please note that projects like DMZ, Preacher, and Titans/Nightwing are already in development and thus, are not included on this list. We also did not individually include Atom and Firestorm, in the event that Arrow/Flash spin-offs are coming for those characters. Enjoy!
BOOSTER GOLD (DC)
Syfy once had the chance to have a series from the creators of Arrow - and then they did nothing with it!
Booster is a tough character to keep down for too long, and if done right - especially if the time-travel elements are kept - Booster Gold could be America's answer to Doctor Who.
And who wouldn't want that? As a bonus, hopefully his pal Ted (Blue Beetle) Kord could hang out.

I’m surprised Wildstorm wasn’t included as well since DC owns Wildstorm.
There just wasn’t anything Wildstorm related that I’m really aching to see in live action… Sleeper, maybe?
