Static and Firestorm

 

The Milestone characters have weaved in and out of the DCU, but I don't think that I have ever seen these two share a story together.  I think they would get along pretty well.  There was a lot of talk of a Static Shock movie a while back, hopefully it is still in development.  Maybe producers are getting cold feet after the recent run of disappointing box office returns for superhero movies?

Daredevil and Static

 

There has been some talk of a Static movie in the works, and I thought that possibly it would have been announced as part of James Gunn's DC plans.  Static has crossed over with the DCU in the comics and in the animated shows as well, so I thought that maybe there was a chance.  It looks like the Milestone characters will get their own cinematic universe.  Let's hope they get started soon, it's getting crowded out there! 

Static Joins The New Warriors

 

With the introductions of America Chavez and Kamala Khan to the MCU, there's been a lot of discussion about Marvel setting up a team of Young Avengers.  That's sounds good, but what about the teen team that predated them?  New Warriors always had an interesting cast of characters, and it would be cool to see them in live action some day.

Static Vs. Electro in: "Shock of Ages!"

I liked that the Milestone Characters crossed over into the DC Universe for a number of years, it was cool to see team ups like Static and Black Lightning.  Also cool was that Static also crossed over into the DCU in the animated world.  Static Shock was a great cartoon already, then they had appearances by Batman, the Justice League and more.  Static even showed up in Justice League Unlimited and later Young Justice.  For a crossover fan like me, it was great to see those kinds of connections.

These two first tangled in STF #2314...

Static Vs. Electro

As a comics and crossover fan, I was happy to see the animated connections made between Static and the DC Universe.  Static Shock had an episode that guest starred Batman and Robin, and a later one with the Justice League.  Later, an older version of Static showed up in the Batman Beyond timeline in an episode of Justice League Unlimited.  All of this made Static a part of the rich tapestry of the various DC animated shows.  Even though Young Justice started a DC continuity of its own, Static showed up there as well, pretty cool!
