The roster will probably be characters who won’t require a huge budget. Zatanna, Constantine, Deadman, and Jason Blood are most likely. Jason turning into Etrigan can be done as often as John Jones turns into the Martian Manhunter on the Supergirl show. I’m sure Swamp Thing will show up but I kinda doubt he’ll be a regular member seeing as the actual Swamp Thing show was seen as too expensive.
I think Madame Xanadu could round out the cast. Plus her powers don’t require a lot of special effects. Traci 13 would be cool as a junior member. Maybe Black Orchid will be the stand in for Swamp Thing. Similar powers but requiring far less costume budget.
It's not gonna be the JLD team as a tv series. It's gonna be some character that is gonna be in the eventual movie for JLD. It practically says that its set in the universe but it won't be the team in the press release.
And he'd turn into Etrigan only at night or in abandoned warehouses... But that's if it were the WB. I have to imagine HBO Max will have a better budget. I would love to see Etrigan on tv, but I'd rather they get it right and only have him show up once or twice than have him on the team and get a mediocre version every episode for a few minutes.
While DC/WB announcing a whole slate of movies that they couldn't deliver was a bad thing in the past, I think now they might as well spit-ball every possible show they can imagine. Because we all know none of these could get off the ground immediately and it might take several years for them to appear on our screens; they might as well send up as many trial balloons as they got, for everyone to dream over while we're all in isolations. I'll eat that pie in the sky, since I don't have any real pie in the fridge right now.
Stephen Amell ain't cheap. He's prime Canadian beef.
Aw come on HBO. Let's re-use all those nice Westworld props/sets and give me Jonah Hex
