Left to right: Talon (Batman villain) , Zatanna (dc Super Heroine) , Doctor Phosphorus (Batman villain) and Starman (Dc Super hero)
The version it's based of has grey pants on, I don't really like how he turned out, especially the head, but at least it's way better then my previous version...
I know you'll be shocked when you read this, so you may want to make sure that you're sitting down! 
Even though I believe that when possible, accuracy is the #1 thing with minifigs, when changing it would make it look or match better, you should always go that route. So despite the source material having grey pants, the black would both look and match better to the overall color scheme of the fig.
That being said, I think it's one of your best figs, and with the change of pants, and removal of the random stripe, it would become really, really good.
With out the random strip he doesn't have a jaw. I kinda like the grey pants but that's just Me. I have been making some Dc characters not based on any specific costume, just their not finished yet...
I like your Talon minifig, although I think his eyes are just a tad small. And it's nice to see Dr P getting some love - he's a great Batman villain, but everyone seems to forget him. If you use him for a Brickfilm, I'd suggest trying to make the yellow elements glow in post, and maybe adding smoky yellow wisps as well, just for effect. I think black trousers probably would work better, but hey - it's your minifigure!
Which other DC characters are you making?
EDIT: Have you seen any of Josh L's decals? http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=331488
He has some great ones which I've used on more than one occasion.
EDIT2: Also, I'm trying to do a totally purist Ant-Man (one of the most undersold Avengers), and I've got the body done, but I need to make the helmet, or something that looks like it. Here's what it looks like. The Wasp is much easier to do -I really just need to make that helmet. Any ideas anyone?

Thank's! I'm making a Lego Batman vidya and He will be in it, though the main villain will be Doctor Death. (props to any one that actually know who He is.) I've seen Josh's decal's, but i like making my own. (most of the time 
)
And I'm working on Wonder Women (New 52) & Batgirl (Stephanie)
Yes, I know the quality is bad.
I debated about that, actually, but I decided to put them here. They would be heartbroken if we called them "props".
I don't really know enough about Portal to talk about accurateness. (I know enough to know their from portal 
)
I like them, though the cone piece on the right one looks kinda out of place, (It might be like that in the game, I don't know, or maybe you just wanted a conehead robot. )
Here's a reference pic.

Possibly. Probably not.
Thor
He will appear in my animation challenge entry.
The quality there is pretty bad. The design's OK, but then I know absolutely nothing about, um, is it Marvel or DC? 
Here's my latest custom, Light Guy. His slogan: "No more Darkness!"
