I do think John at least has done more than Firestorm.
Really? I know Firestorm has been a little out of spotlight lately, but he's still been an important part of DC, regardless of whatever combo of humans make him up.
Or Kyle.
Really!? the guy who took over the mantle for Hal, the guy who stood as the lone lantern of DC for a while, the guy who became an integral member of the JL and a lynch pin of the DCU for a time? heck even now in the comics he still has a very important role as White Lantern, and has ended up being the center of some events (heck even God Head has pretty much been about him).
Though I am kinda oblivious to Firestorm
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!?!?!?
Mutha F@cka how dare you not know about Firestorm, may you burn, burn for eternity for such heresy!
In all seriousness though you asked the right guy because I love Firestorm immeasurably. If you want some reading recommendations, here is a great set of recommendations from what is probably the best fan blog on the internet, Firestormfan.com Trust me when I say that site was made for guys like us, not only does it talk about Firestorm, but every week they have an article on an obscure classic DC character, it is a site worth following for hardcore history loving fans like you and me. Also check out the last two seasons of the Super Friends, they focus a lot on Firestorm and Cyborg, who were both probably the best characters on that show.
As for the Robin stuff that's the mantle, not the character (although mantles would be a good discussion topic for this thread). Tim I would say is in the maybe category, but defiantly not Jason or Damian (not yet anyways, who knows what the future could hold).
Yeah but if they're on the list to represent the Justice Society, then just count the Justice Society itself. While I admit those are probably the 2 most important members, and awesome characters in their own rights (even if Allen was replaced by a god at one point)I still feel they aren't enough of icons to be considered core players of the DCU. Then again if we are counting Raven and Beast Boy, they could also be eligible.
Yeah Lex, Harley and Joker, while villains, could be considered core players of DC.
