A large portion of the first wave of new DC action figures from McFarlane came from the animated portion of the Multiverse! 3 figures, Superman, Batman, and Green Lantern all hailed from the cartoon adaptations of the characters and I think that the figures look great in their stylized, cartoon forms that hasn't been diluted down to fit with the comic book characters. It makes for an amazing aesthetic difference, and I'm so excited to see what other characters from the animated shows appear in the line! Here are the top 5 I've been thinking about.

5. Flash
Something I really liked about the Justice League animated tv show was that they used lesser known versions of some characters, such as John Stewart as Green Lantern, and Wally West for the Flash! Wally was a really fun version to follow for the length of the show and provided a lot of really fun comments during his appearances, though one of his most stand out moments came when he defeated Lex/Brainiac; nearly becoming lost in the Speed Force.

4. Hawkgirl
In the Justice League tv show, I also really liked having Hawkgirl as one of the main members of the team as I hadn't typically thought of her as a main member of the League. The figure would definitely be a lot of fun, not only with the art style but also with the pair of wings that she has! It would make the figure stand out even more than it already would.

3. Supergirl
There's a lot from the Justice League animated tv show universe I'm including on this list, and given the show's popularity and how good it is I think that is warranted. Supergirl I'm including higher on the list because the first episode I ever saw of the show actually revolved around her! It involved her traveling to the future to aid Brainiac 5 before deciding to stay there with him. Whether they release her in her white shirt or blue shirt, I would take either version.

2. Aquaman
Something that would be very fun to have in the toyline would be the animated version of Aquaman! This hardcore version of the character tore off his own hand and replaced it with a hook similar to one point in the comics. He also has a beard and primarily appears shirtless, leading this to be a very intense look for Aquaman while the eventual comic version in the toyline will no doubt be the orange and green attire.

1. Batman Beyond
The only slot on this list that isn't part of the Justice League animated tv show, Batman Beyond is definitely one of the best DC tv shows out there and it manages to sell a completely new version of Batman who isn't Bruce (even if Bruce Wayne plays back up to him). The suit is very interesting in design, and unlike Mattel's DC Multiverse that molded the character to fit with their comic book line up, McFarlane could easily do him in their animated style and I think that would look incredible!
