Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradoxis one of the most well-loved takes on the DC Universe. DC has been able to milk this story, again and again, being in the DCEU withThe Flash, or the DC block at The CW. A slew of characters were reimagined in bold new ways, with one character taking the fandom by storm.
Grifter has not been a character that has been a part of the mainstream, but that does not mean that the character is without his fans. Specifically, his portrayal in theFlashpoint Paradoxfilm has people wondering why James Gunn has not given the character a film yet.
Grifter would be a perfect addition to something likePeacemaker
Grifter, as a character, is very similar to the likes of Rick Flag, Peacemaker, Deathstroke, and Vigilante. There is one particular scene fromJustice League: Flashpoint Paradoxthat has fans wondering ifJames Gunnis going to give Grifter his own series, one that sees the character deliver headshot after headshot to an army of Amazons, before he is finally shot down by multiple arrows.

However, given that Grifter might not have enough mainstream following to merit his own film, the character can become a part of a show like Vigilante, which could be a potent gimmick for James Gunn to exploit. Obscure characters usually have to be made palatable with some sort of grounding device, and more often than not, that device is a hero that is actually more popular and palatable for the mainstream audience.
Just like Peacemaker, Grifter could be a part of the cast of something likePeacemakeror a Batman film, and if the character is well received, then James Gunn can put a solo project featuring the character into production.
