DC characters who should get a short


DC Showcase: The Spectre was released with the direct-to-video animated movie Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths (with the 2-disc DVD and Blu-ray editions). "Jonah Hex" is being released with Batman: Under the Red Hood. Another 10-minute short featuring Green Arrow has been announced, as has a double-length, 22-minute, animated short (no further details available). So, who else should be featured in an animated short?

Some DC characters I'd like to see include: The Question, Ragman, Swamp Thing, John Constantine (he's English, dammit!), Shazam!, Sandman (Wesley Dodds or Dream) and so on. I'd love to see a "Blue & Gold" short featuring Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, scripted by Keith Giffen.

For the double-length shorts, I'd like: The JSA, the Blackhawks, Challengers of the Unknown, Young Justice, Keith Giffen's Justice League, New Teen Titans, Captain Carrot and his Zoo Crew, etc.

Remember the episode of Batman: TAS when the kids are each telling stories about Batman? One of them was "The Dark Knight Returns" essentially, another was very influenced by the early works of Dick Sprang (one of the most unfortunately named men in the industry), and I forget the other. Anyways, all three stories were condensed into one episode and I would love to see more of that idea fleshed out into some "Legend of the Dark Knight" shorts.
