DC's "Other Media" Characters

[OptimusPrime114]

With each and every DC-related project that isn't a comic book, new DC characters are introduced into the lexicon, through movies, TV shows, cartoons, video games and novels. Some of these characters have made it into the mainstream comics, while others have not. Are there any DC "other media" characters you'd like to see make it into the comics? If so, which ones? How would they be different from the original counterparts should they ever appear in the comics?

I think Chase Meridian has been in comics (with a different design) but I don't remember where

That was in the Legends of the Dark Knight digital comics, but that doesn't count. It was an out-of-continuity series.

I’d be way more interested in this 3 Jokers story if it was Jack Napier, Jeremiah Valeska and Arthur Fleck not 3 slightly different classic versions from the comics.

With Tina McGee, the original version WAS from the comics -- introduced during Mike Baron's run on the Wally West Flash. She also appeared in the Flash 1990 series.

I really wouldn't want to see another Tina McGee in the comics. Likewise, with Felicity Smoak, who only shares the name with the Firestorm comics character.



Another character you can add to your "Added to Comics" list is Perry White, who originated on the radio show along with Jimmy. Also, Livewire from the animated series.

Renee Montoya was created for the Animated Series first, but appeared in comics before her cartoon debut. Still, she's an "Added to Comics" character.

Is there room for Music Meister in comics? Maybe not in Batman proper, but perhaps in Harley Quinn's comic.

I think the Batman Beyond villain Inque has been added to the Batman Beyond comics that take place in the DCU. If not, add her to the "should" list.

Music Meister is great.

What about Curare from Batman Beyond also?

it always makes me sad that Anansi never made the leap from animation to comics; first african superhero I'd ever seen.


he could easily fit in Vixens mythos, the anansi spider god is already canon.

[Agent Z]

Diana's supporting cast from Leigh Bardugo's Wonder Woman: Warbringer.

The Young Justice incarnations of the Superfriends minority characters.

I'd imagine it would be redundant to have two Anansis when one in DC already exists and has an established connection to a relatively well known hero.

I could see him being featured in a Static comic or new show but I feel they might have to change his moniker.

Music Meister's biggest hurdle in comics is the lack of audio and his charm comes primarily from his music.

Huh? Why mention Batman there, isn't he a Supergirl/Flash villain? He appeared in an Arrowverse crossover between the two.

A twist at the end of Arrow caught out the comics writers spoilers:

regarding Diggle, as he turned out to be what TV Tropes calls Canon Character All Along. His stepfather is called Mr Stewart, and he finds a ring. Diggle is actually an adaptation of Green Lantern John Stewart!

end of spoilers

And we in the audience call that a cop-out.

Also, Music Meister first appeared in Batman The Brave and the Bold, which you should watch because it's excellent.
