The Superman & Lois series is one of the most unusual in the CW television universe. He focused not on the battles with the villains, but on the attempts of Clark Kent and his beloved Lois Lane to start the most ordinary life - in their case, it is not so easy. The start of the project was quite successful, given the state of the franchise's current shows. But whether "Superman and Lois" will roll into another long-playing superhero "chewing gum" - time will tell.

The series about the famous occultist and demon hunter John Constantine, in 2005 appeared on the big screens performed by Keanu Reeves, lasted only a season.

I'm a Zombie is one of the funniest DC comic shows out there, and it's not about superheroes either. The main character of the series is a reasonable zombie girl Olivia Moore, not quite a typical representative of this type of monster. She took a job as an assistant coroner so she could have quick access to her favorite treat - human brains. A side effect of eating her favorite delicacy is that she also gains the memories of the brain's former owner, which Olivia uses to solve crimes with the police.
"Lucifer" (6 seasons, 2015-...)

Another non-superhero, mystical show based on DC comics tells about Lucifer himself, who gave himself a kind of vacation in the world of people. There, specifically in Los Angeles, he opens his own nightclub, where he enjoys an ordinary life, but very soon the protagonist of the series becomes embroiled in police investigations. This is where the real fun begins. The messengers from hell, meanwhile, are increasingly trying to bring Lucifer back. The series has a fairly low entry threshold, so you don't have to be a fan of graphic prose to appreciate this show.

Based on the graphic prose of the same name, Preacher is a series about priest Jesse Custer, who became the bearer of the super-entity Genesis. This fantastic symbiosis of true good and absolute evil is unimaginable power. To dot the i's, the preacher goes in search of God. "Preacher" is one of the brightest and most interesting projects not only for those who are familiar with the comic book of the same name but also for viewers who simply love TV projects that are bold in terms of presentation and content.

The authors of the series "Powerless" shifted the focus from superheroes and villains, the fights between which decide the fate of millions, to employees of Wayne Security, specializing in the development of gadgets. No, not on creating high-tech gadgets for Batman, but on devices for the most ordinary people, which are designed to save their lives in moments of devastating confrontations between the strongest of this world. The concept of this comedy series is good, but the creators of the show let us down a lot with the implementation.

Launched in March 2018, the Krypton series was not spoiled by rave reviews from viewers and reviewers, to put it mildly. The show introduced us to Superman's relatives and his home planet of Krypton, which is in danger of unprecedented proportions. Visually, the project looked decent by the standards of the superhero series. However, with the development of the plot and characters, things were not going well in this show - this, in fact, was the reason for the failure of the show and the closure after two seasons.
Titans (3 seasons, 2018-…)

The Titans series introduces viewers to young superheroes who team up and begin to fight criminals together. Along the way, the heroes are trying to deal with personal problems and demons. The project tries to be gloomy, sometimes it even succeeds. By the standards of the DC comics series, Titans is a solid mid-ranger, which has its own great moments and sagging episodes.
"Doom Patrol" (3 seasons, 2019-...)
 |

"Doom Patrol" is a story full of drama and strangeness of several freaks who formed a team led by Dr. Niles Caulder. An atypical superhero project, which takes place in the same world as the Titans, pays a lot of attention to the development of colorful characters. By the standards of the series adapting DC comics, Doom Patrol does it well.
Harley Quinn (3 seasons, 2019-…)
 |

Almost the brightest series based on DC comics is the animated adult show, Harley Quinn. Bold, funny, inventive, and tough, this project about the adventures of the famous villain and her strange friends and associates stands out from the background of most multi-part stories based on superhero comics.

The events of the superhero horror series "Swamp Thing" took place in the state of Louisiana - according to the plot, a mysterious swamp virus was discovered there, because of which the scientist who studied it turned into a monster nicknamed the Swamp Thing.

However, for a number of reasons, the project was decided to be closed after the first season.

The HBO miniseries Watchmen, which continued the plot of the cult graphic novel of the same name by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, is one of the most adult multi-series projects based on DC comics. The show took on serious topics that some might find uncomfortable. This nuance, in fact, divided the audience into those who liked the series and those who hated it. Nevertheless, the talentedly shot Watchmen received several Emmy statuettes, including for the best mini-series.
"Pennyworth" (2 seasons, 2019-...)

The series "Pennyworth" tells about the youth of the same legendary butler Batman Alfred Pennyworth. As the events of the series show, his life was filled to capacity with all sorts of intrigues and dangers. The project itself is partly in style, partly in plot content, reminiscent of films about James Bond.

This superhero story revolves around a girl who receives Starman's cosmic staff and assembles a team of young and brave crime fighters. The criminals with whom the heroes will fight, of course, are not simple but have very extraordinary abilities.
