Comic books are part of a medium that lends itself to strange and creative storytelling, something that is especially true of the DC Universe. With a huge cast of colorful heroes and villains, DC is home to some of the weirdest, wackiest, and most wild storylines in all of comics. As a result, translating those kinds of plots and characters to the screen can yield varying outcomes. Moreover, allowing the DC world to be as comedic, dark, and/or disturbing on television as it can get in the comics is a tall order.
