3. Black Orchid

Told ya I'd have some weird picks for this one.

But yeah, I recently got a chance to read Neil Gaiman's Black Orchid, and oh, my god, does it feature an incredible character. The Black Orchid was the reincarnation of a murdered superhero, born of plant life as a new being struggling to find her place in the world. She's typically non-violent and caring, which makes her a very different type of character for the DCEU. I previously mentioned that Blue Devil could play the role of audience surrogate, but Orchid could do the same job even better.

For those who don't know, an audience surrogate is a character who is newly introduced to the world of the movie, and is therefore the one to whom the more experienced characters have to explain everything. In movies, characters like these are used so that the movie can deliver exposition to the audience without it seeming clunky and unnecessary.

Orchid, as this newly born creature struggling to discover the world around her and her own identity, would be an amazing character to bring into the very complex world needed for a JLD film.
