10 DC Movie & Show Characters Who Were Way More Important In The Comics

:0:0

Summary

The DCEU has a history of not giving iconic DC characters the importance they deserve.
Arrow did a disservice to Black Canary by killing her in season 4.
Wally West's portrayal in The Flash TV show was miniscule compared to his significance in the comics as the main version of The Flash for 23 years.

Across the DC Universe, several movies and TV shows have failed certain DC characters by relegating important heroes and villains to much smaller roles than they have in DC Comics. Most movies in the DCEU have been plagued by the universe's overall issues, and that has led to some of its movies not treating iconic DC characters with the care they deserve. While the DCEU has contributed to the negative trend where some DC heroes and villains are less important in live-action than they were in the comics, that issue is not at all reserved only for the shared DC movie universe.
DC's shared TV universe — the Arrowverse — is also at fault for not handling some important characters from the comics well enough. Also contributing to the negative trend are other DC movies set outside the DCEU. Thankfully, the direction James Gunn is going with the upcoming DC movies and series in the new DC Universe — with Gunn affirming that the new DCU will be more in line with the comics than the DCEU — points toward this negative trend being left in the past. While that doesn't happen, here are 10 DC movie and TV show characters that were more important in the comics than in the projects they appeared in.

Jared Leto's Joker has become infamous for the edgy design director David Ayer went with for the Clown Prince of Crime. While that certainly merits a discussion, Leto's Joker had his role heavily reduced in 2016's Suicide Squad, thanks to cuts made by the studio, which contributed to one of DC's most iconic villains not mattering all that much to the film. After the character's edgy design, Leto's less-than-enthralling performance, and the studio taking away most of the Batman villain's scenes, the Joker was completely absent from 2021's The Suicide Squad, with Leto never playing him again in a theatrical DCEU film.
