Small Screen Suggestions (Part 2)

We'll be continuing The Panel Biter's Top 5 Wanted DC Comic Television Shows with the last two entrees. If you haven't read Part One, I'd suggest checking it out before proceeding. Moving on now:

#2: Booster Gold

Booster Gold comes from a future where superheroes are modern day legend, inspirational relics of the golden age. Booster himself was a just a lousy janitor who stole superhero equipment from the museum he worked at and used time travel technology to return to the modern age as a superhero. Unlike most heroes, Booster relishes the money and fame that comes with the superhero life, but it is only through his failures and redemptions that learns humility. Being a time traveling hero, Booster could easily find himself meeting other time displaced DC characters like Rip Hunter, The Legion of Super-Heroes, and maybe even Jonah Hex. Along with his best friend Ted Kord/Blue Beetle, Booster Gold could bring a fun, comedic and visually stellar science fiction adventure to the screen.

#1: Astro City

The most ambitious suggestion of the Top 5 comes with Astro City, an anthology series that spans several different time periods, but is always set in the titled city. Astro City is home to many superpowered beings including caped heroes, dark vigilantes, and twisted villains. Most of the stories are actually centered around the humanity of Astro City, stories are told from the perspective of everyday citizens, retiring criminals and the superhero community itself. As an example, one story is centered on an innocent bystander after he was held hostage by a super-villain and how he copes after the kidnapping ends. A series like this could really show the flip side to the superhero genre, how the world of superheroes behaves in between giant battles. A period piece, a story-by-story series, and much more, I believe Astro City could be a more personal take on the Comic Book genre.

Do you agree with my list? Do you have ideas of your own on what DC comics could be television shows? Please comment, if so. I hope you like The Panel Biter's first official list. More to come in the future. Thanks for reading!
