Tonight, FOX and DC Entertainment will be bringing us âGotham,â a Batman-inspired TV series that seeks to tell the origins of the characters in the world of the Dark Knight. This isnât the first time the location for one of DCâs characters has served as the setting and title for a TV show (âSmallvilleâ) and with as rich of a world as the DCU has, there are plenty of other cities that lie in their world worthy of exploring on television. With that in mind, weâve assembled ten more DC Comics cities weâd love to see play out as the title for a TV series.
COAST CITY
Notable Residents? Hal Jordan (Green Lantern), Carol Ferris (Star Sapphire), Hector Hammond, and William Hand (Black Hand).
Notable Locations? Ferris Aircraft.
Whatâs the focus? Much like âGothamâ telling the origin of the world of Batman, âCoast Cityâ could set the stage for the world of Green Lantern. With Hal Jordan himself living in the town, along with a number of his future villains, itâs possible to weave a tale that reveals a number of secrets about the location and gets the world ready for a world with Green Lantern. Setting the series pre-Green Lantern would be ideal though, as Hal Jordan would be spending much of his time in space at that point. Or perhaps itâs best to have this series tie into the world of âThe Flashâ and âArrow,â and not just because the Easter eggs have already been planted.
Thereâs one âgolden ageâ city perfect for TV in this era of grim dark heroes. Find out more on page 2!
