10. Hawkwoman
I know that one version of Hawkwoman has already appeared in live-action on the various CW series. The one who I think deserves a shot on the big screen is the version that appeared on the long-running animated Justice League series. Tons of kids grew up with this version of Hawkwoman and she was always one of the league’s heavy hitters. I do favor her Thanagarian origins over the Egyptian ones they’ve placed on her in the past. I mean the DCEU has already confirmed the existence of aliens from other planets with the existence of Superman.

I think there will definitely be room for another female on the team and a fighter that can hit as hard as Aquaman. Her fighting prowess would be similar to that of Wonder Woman or Batman.
There have been several different version of Hawkwoman over the years and I think combining some of the best aspects of all those characters is one way to go. In one version she is a space cop similar to the Green Lanterns and in one alternate world, she is an archeologist turned superhero detective. The power level of the heroes of DC will require them to venture outside their world and into outer space more and more. This could provide the opening for many more heroes to join the fray.
