With so many film and television universes being explored for either Marvel or DC we have gotten to see different angles and different tones like the street level hero, aliens, and science fiction. The one thing that has not been explored yet is the concept of magic, which is a very crucial concept when it comes to the DC universe. Just a few days ago we heard that Arrow would be exploring the use of the mystical arts this year and my mind immediately starting spinning about all the different heroes and villains that would be able to pop up in the Greg Berlanti TV world.

Zatanna– This character is a favorite of mine. I don’t know why, I just really enjoy her. I think she would make a fun addition to the universe whether it’s in the Flash or Arrow. Her powers are unique and she could certainly mix things up a bit within both shows. Now, I don’t think that just because she is female she would have to appear in the Supergirl world (which is basically confirmed is separate from the CW, ugh) but I could also see her fitting in over there.

Doctor Fate- YES. PLEASE. I really fell in love with this character during his involvement in the Young Justice series. The concept is so cool and would make for a kick ass addition! Who in the cast could wear his helmet? Would they bring that conflict into the show the way they did in the animated universe? They said Diggle will sport a helmet this season…Just saying. (I know it’s most likely Guardian but still, someone losing themselves to the helmet of Doctor Fate-talk about a compelling story)

Etrigan- Visually I could see how this one would be difficult. Though. we also have to remember that The Flash pulled off a CG gorilla pretty nicely right? The backstory of this character defines mystical and would allow for a very unique and creative arc for either series. Though aside from Zatanna and Doctor Fate, Etrigan really does have a much more fantastical element to him which might be a bit harder to adapt. Then again, Vixen is set to premiere on the CW Seed! Spreading the wealth would be wonderful. Allow the concept of magic to spread across the different shows.

Klarion- Demon evil child with a pet cat who annoys the absolute life out of you? Come on guys, what better antagonist could we ask for!? He is magically entertaining. The one episode that he was featured in for the 90s Batman Series was outstanding. I could watch him over and over. Naturally his small appearance in Young Justice was equally exciting. I think he could prove to be a much darker character while still keeping the childish humor that makes him so appealing in a live action rendition. Plus, who wouldn’t want to see his pet cat turn into that demon minion?

Alan Scott/Green Lantern- Reminding everyone that this original Lantern does not pertain to the corp but rather was his own mystical entity with his own unique strengths and weaknesses. His power ring seemed to be fueled more by magical properties than the mechanics of those from the Green Lantern Corps. Plus, I just think he’s awesome and would love to see some screen time for the Lantern that started them all!
