Manhunter never really held his own series. I mean his origin was zeta tube accident, no bad guy to beat in that. and while they could play the malefic-hronmeer's curse card, it's kindof like the Green Lantern Film, they used Paralax, Sinestro AND Hector Hammond in the first movie, Paralax in particular, the protagonist IMO needs a bit of personal developed before taking on and beating the big bad of their entire life. They've got to play every movie to develop it as a standalone. Each hero needs to have the same sortof development, plot, everything that Batman and Superman are bound to get. Because people only really know the big two it makes things more difficult to think of the others independantly. Having Superman, Batman and Justice League comprise the majority of the DCAU does not help this whatsoever. Imagine if they sustained a Aquaman or Hawkman TAS after the Big Two, things would have been so different
