Well in that case, no. Other than Superman TAS and Static Shock, no solo DC series has been that popular, add to the fact that each of them only had 1 show while Batman had several.

@nickzambuto: Is there any DC hero who could hold his or her own show? I'm thinking Flash could have a chance.....

Well yeah, there are plenty of heroes who have the potential, all it takes is the direction. I'd love to see a Flash show, or another Superman one to.

How long did the WildC.A.T's series run?

Yup that about sums it up.

Blue Beetle. The support cast, setting, and villains are all there in the comics. Jaime also has a personality so that would help character wise.

the green lantern Tv series is wicked good Hopefully will get 5-6 seasons:D

I'm going with Flash.

13 episodes.

I loved the Superman TAS show and I would love to see a Superman animated series again.As for Green Lantern,it hasn't been that bad.

I like the GL series. It's quite well-written and engaging, despite the video game feel to the art. It's not Batman TAS, but it's still good. Since I joined in late, I'm confused about the REd lantern guy with them. How'd he end up with the GL Corps with a Red ring? (I don't read many GL comics either, so I really have no idea if that's from the comics or not.)

Depends on the writing and animation quality. An obscure character can have a successful run if the the aforementioned criteria are met and in some cases sub-par animation is trumped by great writing and the show still succeeds.

Ultraforce lasted for a while.

Green Lantern the animated series is a critically acclaimed tv series that is actually a breakthrough for cgi animated tv series.

Green Lantern would probably last for quite a while.

The reason Batman lasted so long and is still successful today is because it has so many well written characters (heroes and villains), i.e. Batman, the four Robins, Batgirl, Gordon + all the villains. Please correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not a Flash fan but judging from the 52 reboot Flash doesn't have that many characters etc. BTAS had a different character in each episode (some repeating, yes) which made it successful.

I really don't see any other character beating Batman or Superman (or Green Lantern, haven't watched it but heard it's good) in terms of television shows unless they get the much needed publicity and emphasis. The other DC characters need to be made more popular in order for a television show to succeed. I can see the possibility of it happening but the characters need to be more popular not just among the comic book fans but also television fans.

Bats got this.. The flash would be awesome.. the Joker would be an awesome show.. they could go into detail on some of his schemes.. explore this super sanity..

I think villain shows are actually an awful idea not because they aren't interesting but they are VERY difficult to pull off. The reason is you get tired of them fast. They are either being evil, or bad ass all the time. And most of the time you have to humanize them to make them less boring, and at that point you get an almost anti-hero. Which is why Deathstroke one of DC's best characters is flopping, and Red Lantern series is also struggling. So no I would not want a Joker show.

However I do think Flash is overdue for a show. After Justice League, and JLU, the most popular character after Batman, was the flash. My sister who hates superheroes would sit down and watch the show with me if Flash was in that episode. So I would love to see a flash tv show, except for one thing. I want Wally West, I do not want Barry Allen. Maybe it is because I grew up on Wally West, but I think Barry Allen is the MOST BORING flash out there. The problem with Flash, almost like Superman is that you could really over power him which makes it hard to write a good story. Green Lantern is lucky because they created the Emotional Spectrum which balances him, and makes for a WIDE array of characters. But with any good writing, anything is possible!

Otherwise my attention is all over the Batman universe so obviously even though this thread is about other heroes shining, I can't help but say I want a Batman show that really displays his pretty big family. Which is why I am excited that Beware the Batman will not start with origin (I hope).

My second favorite DC character is Raven, but I really don't see her anywhere but on a team show, kinda like seeing a Storm show by itself (though Storm should totally get her own movie).
