Of all of DC’s obscure characters outside the Bat family, two of Matt’s absolute favorites are the Elongated Man, Ralph Dibny, and his wife, Sue.

There are plenty of legacy characters in the Bat universe; how many Robins are there now? But there are far fewer legacy villains than there are heroes.
