I would be happy with a Black Canary or Green Lantern show.
I watch the whole Arrowverse on Netflix. So every summer, all at once, I get bombarded with an entire season of 4 different shows at once. It takes me a while to get through them all. I thought I heard that this is the last season of Arrow. I with Legends of Tomorrow would end, too. I hate the show, but I can't NOT watch it, because every year they do a crossover and if I don't watch Legends, I will be lost. And, of course, this last season they left Legends out of the the crossover, so I am kinda pissed. :-P
Anyway, I digress... I really hope it's not Blackstar. It's hard to express how little I care about these future-people, even while I am currently watching the last season of Arrow.
One thing I find interesting is... why are all the CW shows about lesser heroes? Where the Batman show? Or Superman? Or Wonder Woman? Why are they all second-stringers?
I'm looking forward to Batwoman.
Huntress would be cool, and totally fit in with the rest of the shows.
Nobody - and I mean nobody - cares about the Future Kids on Arrow. I've never heard a single person talk about them - either online or at conventions. They were poorly characterized, and the flash-forward scenes were useless. Blackstar is not even in the comics. It would be a dead end at best. I'd be surprised if they created that show, but if they did, I'm probably not going to watch it.
I think the biggest missed opportunity was Birds of Prey. It would have been way better as a rebooted TV show than as the middling movie it's probably going to be. The movie should have been Gotham Sirens: Harley Quinn (capitalizing on the popularity of Margot Robbie), Poison Ivy and Catwoman. Just pure antiheroine seduction, and even some implied lesbian action. Instead of a superhero version of Charlie's Angels, it looks like a ball of meh.
Birds of Prey should have been a TV show reboot with the three core members: Oracle, Black Canary and Huntress, and various other heroine guests. There were so many great spandex-clad ladies that passed through the several editions of the comic, they'd have a ton to choose from (I'd start with Lady Blackhawk), and so many great stories to tell from those comics, hopefully giving some shine to both Chuck Dixon *and* Gail Simone.
As it is, there's only one major Justice Leaguer (of "The Seven", heh) that hasn't gotten a live-action character since the pre-DCU debacle movie (the one that Deadpool would rather forget) and that's Green Lantern. So I agree - I would love to see a Green Lantern TV show. You could tell pretty much an infinite amount of stories using the backdrop of the Green Lantern Corps, traveling from planet to planet all the way to Oa and Qward. You could feature all of the various Lanterns that have represented Earth: Hal, John, Kyle, Guy, Simon. You could also go back in time and Golden Age it with Alan Scott (like Flash did with Jay Garrick).
You could feature all of the different colors of the Lantern Corps spectrum (invented by Geoff Johns and fleshed out by Ethan Van Sciver only a decade ago). And there would be lots of opportunities for gorgeous female characters in tight costumes: Arisia, Katma Tui, Bleez (a Red), Star Sapphire, Jessica Cruz, Soranik (Sinestro's daughter, a Yellow) and many more. This would be the best part of the DC Universe to play around in that hasn't really been explored yet. The show should be called "Green Lantern Corps." If done right, it could be the best superhero show ever on television! (next to The Boys)
