Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice is shaping up to be perhaps the biggest comic book movie of 2016. As well as the battle between the two titular heroes, Wonder Woman is set to take on a leading role and cameos from the likes of Aquaman and The Flash expected.
Simply put, the signs are all pointing to this being the DC Comics movie fans have always wanted to see. However, as crowded as it’s already shaping up to be, there are plenty of heroes, villains, and supporting characters who should have been announced by now!

At this point, it’s admittedly too late for some of these characters to be included in Batman v Superman (unless of course they’ve been included in secret or are referenced in some way as a surprise for fans), but we still want to see them in DC Extended Universe, and at least some of them definitely stand a chance of showing up in the highly anticipated 2016 movie.
10. Martian Manhunter
Years ago, J’onn J’onz was teleported to Earth from Mars and left stranded. However, his telepathic and shape shifting abilities came in handy when he had to blend in to his newfound surroundings, and one of the many personas he’s taken on over the years was that of a Metropolis police detective. It would be easy then to include him in Batman v Superman, and a potentially cool reveal when he transforms back into his familiar green Martian self.
Martian Manhunter has been both an ally and enemy to the Justice League. While he wasn’t among those announced as having their own movie as part of Warner Bros.’ DC Comics slate, there have been rumblings that he’ll show up in the superhero ensemble a couple of years from now. He’s a great character and a real fan-favourite, and there has to be a way that Zack Snyder could tease his undercover presence in this world in Batman v Superman!
