Characters From Other Media That Remind You Of DC Characters

[Timothy Hunter]

After finishing the first season of Better Call Saul I thought the character of Jimmy McGill was similar in personality to Booster Gold. Opportunistic and somewhat greedy, but always trying to do the right thing. (Probably won't be the case for long in later seasons)

What other characters from literature, film, television, games have similarities in traits with DC characters?

Catherine from the Tv show "The Great" is a lot like the Perez version of Wonder Woman. Ted Lasso also has philosophical similarities.

Cruella de Vil and Priscilla Rich / Cheetah are also a perfect pair.

If Hal Jordan was an archaeologist in the 40's he'd be Indiana Jones. They have a similar sense of throwing themselves at danger and persevering until they save the day. (especially in "Raiders" when he says, "I dunno - I'm making this up as I go along.") They're also both trying to live up to their fathers and have an attachment to a particular article of clothing that they always wear.

Joshua Nolan from Syfy's Defiance tv series has always given me Steve Trevor vibes. Mostly in personality and charm.


Back when I used to watch procedurals regularly I thought Thomas Gibson (who played Aaron Hotchner) would make a good Bruce Wayne/Batman, especially Hotch's quiet intensity and control combined . Especially if you want to do a Batman where you lean into his detective side more.

Didn't the actor end up being a dick who alienated his castmates? That's pretty Batman...

Some time ago I watched the movie "The Ice Princess" (AKA "Ice Princess Lilli" AKA "Tabaluga") and I was amazed at how much Lilli and Tabaluga reminded me of Abby Arcane and Swamp Thing.

Lilli is a beautiful young women whose most distinguishing physical trait is her shining white hair (just like Abby). She was raised by an evil father-figure (just like Abby) but despite that she has a pure and kind heart (just like Abby). She befriends and later falls in love with a green non-human (just like Abby).

In addition to being a green non-human (just like Swamp Thing), Tabaluga struggles with issues relating to his sense of identity and self-worth (just like Swamp Thing). He falls in love with a white-haired young woman (just like Swamp Thing) and those feelings of love allow him to overcome his inner demons and unlock a great power that was always within him (just like Swamp Thing).

I recently rewatched Mobile Suit from 1979. One of the characters , Sleggar Law, really reminded me of Guy Gardner.
