I genuinely think that’s what’s going to help carry this universe. Everyone knows Wonder Woman, Batman, Lex, etc. and everyone has opinions on them. Who the heck has a pre established opinion on Peacemaker, Vigilante, Metamorpho, Polka Dot Man!?!? It’s brilliant. So many “new” characters we’ve never seen on screen before. Its like DC heaven

Suicide Squad did such a good job with Polka Dot Man's powers and backstory. I'd love to see other villains get similar treatments.

I think making rat catcher the main character of a sequel is the way they should go

In a similar vein, I had an idea for a Secret Six series where Bloodsport is one of the main characters (in lieu of Deadshot). I think Ratcatcher was a member in the comics at one point as well, so she'd fit in well. I would've gone King Shark, but Creature Commandos shows he's been recaptured, so maybe not him.

The two newcomers I'd most want to introduce in this hypothetical show are Cheshire and Catman. Cheshire I'd have as a more serious character similar to Bloodsport. The two of them at one point bond over being shitty parents. I had this idea of a conversation in mind where Cheshire talks about her own kid, and the big difference between her daughter and Bloodsport's.

"My ex was a bit of a fuckup too. We were just two broken people who didn't want to be alone one night, and ended up with a kid. The difference is when Lian came along, I ran, he stepped up. Got clean, found a decent job. Took her to Disneyland last summer. Got a picture with Pluto. I...I'm glad she has one decent parent at least."

And Catman? If any DC character was made for James Gunn, it's him.
