Given the characters in Superman, and the upcoming planned movies, I think we’re getting the Justice Society of America! (of which Mr. Terrific is a member)
I would be excited by that but with Guy I keep thing of the early Justice League International series in the '80s. That was the League he was big in and the humor of DeMatteis and Giffen seems like something that Gunn would be into.
I just think if your trying to get a more diverse roster for the league Mr. Terrific is a much better fit then Cyborg. Sadly if your looking for an African-American DC hero, there really are only 3 or 4 big hitters and John Stewart is already going to be in Lanterns.
I think there is a legitimate argument to be made that Cyborg is most interesting character in the Teen Titans, (or even the early 20’s Titans or what ever they call them after only beast boy is still a teenager) but he’s supposed to be a YOUNG man and shoe-horning him in to the adults of the Justice League was just ham handed and stupid.
Absolutely! His struggle is really unique, and society’s fears are really starting to align with the potential horrors of transhumanism. But it feels like every onscreen DC team for the past 10 years includes him, and I’m starting to want to see something new.
That’s why Mr. Terrific was such a good character to put in the Justice Gang. I’m pretty sure even after the Brave and the Bold Batman is going to be sidelined a bit in bigger stories for awhile to let the Reeves Batman be its own thing and Michael Holt being the smartest guy in the room and his “I’m goddamn Mr. Terrific” attitude will fill that bad ass normal slot in the League really well.

Cyborg is cool. Cyborg is a great character. I am tired of seeing that motherfucker in every DC hero team.
