1. Walker Gabriel, the other Chronos, had John F. Moore and Paul Guinan’s short-lived series. But the fundamental setup of this series would create an amazing miniseries for HBO Max. In the comic, Chronos uses his time trip tech to mix it up with other time travelers to hop around the timeline of the DC Universe.

2. The classic one-shot Gotham by Gaslight combines the story of the world’s first recognized serial killer, Jack the Reaper, with one of the most famous fictional detectives in history. The original story was only a single stand-alone issue. However, the concept of Batman chasing Jack the Ripper through Victorian-era Gotham City leaves plenty of room for creativity and expansion.

3. Thanks to his chilling nature, Ragman is a hero who could be a great hit for HBO Max. Rory Regan was a junkman who wore a suit of rags to promote Rags’n’Tatters. The suit of rags, in fact, consists of the souls of the wicked men.

8. What makes Mister Miracle so compelling is how little you need to know about the titular character, his wife Big Barda, or their relatives, the New Gods, in order to enjoy the story. The themes that King and Gerad explore are universal. Also, almost everyone will identify with Scott Free and Barda on an emotional level.

9. Although the Defense Corps is firmly established in the DC universe. But it will not take a long time to disintegrate and make the story its own. It concentrates on the elite US Military Branch that deals with aliens, vampires, and other monsters throughout the universe.

10. The Kents examines the lives of brothers Nathaniel and Jebediah Kent, John Kent’s ancestors. Also, their roles in the American Civil War and the early days of Smallville. The Kents is a film that uses real-life events to tell the story of a divided family. It also expands on the Superman mythology without ever focusing on Superman himself.
