When DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn announced plans for the first slate of the DCU, he included a range of movies and TV shows that touch upon different genres. Among the new series like Lanterns, Paradise Lost, and Booster Gold, genres vary from mystery to political drama. By delving into different genres for each series, Gunn and the showrunners can highlight what makes their individual stories stand out and what makes these characters unique. Given his directing credits and as the creator of HBO’s Peacemaker, it’s clear that James Gunn has an eye for making stars out of mostly unknown and somewhat unusual characters. A DC Comics superhero who would be a perfect fit for Gunn’s mold and the new DCU is Ragman.Created in 1976 by writer Robert Kanigher and artist Joe Kubert, Ragman first appeared in Ragman #1. In 1991, the character got a miniseries by Keith Giffen, Robert Loren Fleming, Pat Broderick, and Anthony Tollinan with an updated origin story. Originally named Rory Regan, the creators intended the hero to be a Vietnam veteran of Irish descent. However, with the miniseries, his name changed to having been shortened from Reganiewicz, with the character now of Jewish descent. After Ragman’s first live-action debut in the CW’s Arrow, the character received another updated origin story in 2017 in a Ragman miniseries by Ray Fawkes and Inaki Miranda. As an unfamiliar superhero with no origin story set in stone, regardless of the few constants, Ragman is an optimal choice for a new DCU live-action series adaptation.One of the titles named during James Gunn’s announcement was a new Batman movie called The Brave and the Bold. The story would focus on Bruce Wayne and Batman’s biological son, Damien Wayne, as Robin. The introduction of Damien Wayne likely means that his mother Talia al Ghul will exist in the new DCU and, by extension, her father, Ra’s al Ghul. The latter character’s connection to the immortality pool, the Lazarus Pit, and another announced movie, Swamp Thing, suggests that Gunn isn’t shying away from the various supernatural elements of DC Comics. The long history of mysticism in Ragman would work excellently in the new DCU and help weave the enchanted aspects of the movies into Gunn’s TV series.RELATED: J. M.
