Black DC characters have a lot of interesting lore behind them, with many adaptations existing in the CW Arrowverse, including Black Lightning, Static Shock, and Icon & Rocket appearing in Young Justice. The Flash and Arrow had interactions with characters like Mr. Terrific, Vixen, and Firestorm. John Stewart Green Lantern and Static were prominent characters in the DCAU, crossing over with Justice League Unlimited. Many Black DC characters aren't as well known due to a lack of exposure to the general public. Static, for example, was once a member of the Teen Titans in the comics. Milestone Media/Comics had a revival in 2020, with an animated movie announced, though there have been no updates since. WB/DC have an obsession with using their popular characters to conjure up ideas of Black superheroes like Calvin Ellis as Superman or Jace Fox as Batman. James Gunn's DCU has the opportunity to explore more Black characters with Lanterns and Superman.
