Ralph DIbny died in the particle accelerator explosion, so maybe we will get Elongated Man. I would think Booster Gold would be a for sure, too.

Give me Ronnie Raymond, Booster Gold, Zatanna, Blue Beetle, Doctor Fate and occasional cameos from Constantine---then make him a regular in Season 2.

I wouldn't mind seeing Girder as a member of this team, also like the Elongated Man idea.

A few others that would be really cool to see:

Mr. Miracle and Big Barda
Manchester Black
Etrigan the Demon

With more shows in the DC/CW franchise, they need to get more showrunners to handle these different series. Glad this is the first step in getting fresh talent for the franchise.
