So I don't want to get into some debate about the politics of doing it, you may be for it, you may be against it
But if JL were to add a second female character to the team, who do you think it should be?
I think the 3 most likely are:
Hawkgirl - She was in the Justice League cartoon, so she has some recognition.
Black Canary - Led the team briefly in the comics and has some recognition from Arrow. Plus, she has a powerset that none of the other JL'ers have so it adds to the team.
Vixen - Political reasons are obvious, but again, she adds a different type of powerset to give more depth to the team.
Other front runners:
Batgirl/Oracle - Oracle is more likely, given where we are in Bruce's story. But just sitting her behind a computer doesn't really add her to the team at all.
Zatanna - More new powers, play off of Enchantress and possibly even inspired by Scarlet Witch.
Anyone else? -

I'd love to see Zatanna, but if she's going to be inspired by Scarlet With forget it. She's ridicilously generic and her overdone hand waving looks really dumb. Yes to Zatanna, no to inspiration from Marvel.
Zatanna is my number one choice. Hawkgirl would be cool to see, but just in the universe. Not every hero needs to be on the Justice League. -

Yes, God forbid Scarlet Witch has hand motions to indicate magic rather than weird pelvic thrusting like Enchantress. Also, how is it 'generic' and 'overdone'? Would you have rather she motioned with her elbows? Magic coming from hands has been apart of magic in stories since time immemorial.
I think that if they add anyone, it should be like Age of Ultron by changing up the dynamic of power sets and personality. Rather than being a "punchy" character like Superman or Batman, I'd like to see Zatanna in the mix.
I honestly would have liked to have seen Static in the Justice League instead of Cyborg. I suppose more people know about Cyborg from the outside of the comics, but I think Static would provide a much more interesting contrast to these characters. -

She just looks boring to me, especially knowing how she works in the comics seeing her dumbed down to nothing but a flashier version of Jean Grey irks me.
Static would be cool, has he ever been a full time Justice League member? I was always under the impression he mostly did his own stuff. -

To me, her powers are really ill-defined in the comics and they have a consistent power-set for her in the films.

No, but I'd easily put Static as the younger member with a different perspective over such a not-really-interesting character like Cyborg any day of the week.
I've always said that Static is DC's equivalent of Spider-man - a blue-collar working superhero who balances his personal life and superhero antics together, rather than just abandoning one for the other. You could even make Static older but still make him the common man voice of reason (like Wash from Firefly). After seeing how Peter Parker 'morally saves' Tony in Civil War towards the later 2nd half of the film and reinforces the complicated theological discussions in the movie, I would love to see that kind of abstract philosophy be confronted by practical application of theology, which Static would operate by. -

I have thought they should included Static in the Arrowverse for years. Maybe not the Movie universe yet, but he is a perfect fit for the CW Shows. Whether it is his own show, or as part of the others.
I am far more familiar with the cartoon than the comics, and I believe there are differences in the origin story, but the Static Shock "Bang Baby" origin is the exact same one they used for the Flash and other Metahumans in the Flash series.
It's almost too bad they used him as Firestorm, because Franz Drameh would have made an excellent Static. -

Zatanna

She was in a band playing bass and cosigning with Aquamans daughter Zoe Kravitz before.

I think someone young to go around and promote with Ezra. Just Supergirl with the channel change and them not using the tv show people. Adding her different along with Flash wouldn't go well with the audience.Zatanna adds another minority to the film also.

Zatanna would be cool. Black Canary too. I loved Hawkgirl in the JL animation, but I'm not sure how she'd come off on the big screen. Isn't she in one of the DC TV shows? I don't follow them, but if she is I'd be interested to know how she's been received.
All for a box of chocolates -

Hawkgirl is in Legends of Tomorrow.
She was receivedok.
People liked the character, and they used the Ancient Egyptian origin story for her, which fit well into the story arc and fit better in the "Arrowverse" than the Thanagar version would.
But the actress got mixed reviews and the show didn't quite know what to do with her, so she wasn't written particularly well. -

Did ever see that ep of True Detective? Daddario has a bangin bod. Kat Dennings is busty and has curves,she looks great naked.
I googled the girl in the video she looks pretty thin,I don't think she has a better body than Kat or Alexandra
