There are a variety of different ways to categorize the heroes of the DC universe, but the ideal method requires more than subjective opinions. The zodiac signs are an excellent choice, as each star sign is not only accompanied by clear-cut personality types, but they are also symbolic representations and metaphors.

The signs of the zodiac have different meanings in different contexts. Similarly, DC heroes don't always behave the same way in every situation. Observing the various ways in which they interact with their surroundings as well as other people makes it easier to assign the most appropriate sign to each character.

Updated on November 28th, 2022 by Ajay Aravind: The DC universe contains a veritable smorgasbord of iconic characters, each with distinct traits, features, behavior patterns, motivations, and beliefs. Both Superman and Batman do good, but they achieve their goals in radically different ways. Although many DC heroes share a certain set of overlapping characteristics, their sense of identity remains quintessentially unique. As such, the zodiac can help classify them according to their core nature.

12 Green Arrow Is Known For This Compassion, Determination, & Liberal Attitude

Aries

Green Arrow

Oliver Queen, or Green Arrow, was born into money, making him slightly egocentric. At the same time, he's a socially liberal individual with an outgoing persona. Some people enjoy interacting with Green Arrow, whereas others don't like him very much. Under his hard shell, however, beats the heart of a passionate and vulnerable man.

Like Green Arrow, those born under the Aries sign are acknowledged for their compassion, drive, and determination. They know when to act as the leader, and consistently express confidence in their decisions, even if they sometimes get defensive.

11 Raven Is Notoriously Private But Is A Great Friend To Those She Trusts

Taurus

Raven

A Taurus is known for containing their feelings — it's nearly impossible to convince them to open up. On the other hand, they sometimes allow people into their personal space, which is when they become incredibly friendly. Tauruses are extremely self-protective, meaning that they refuse help even when they need it.

According to Robin, Raven would have been "the strongest of them all... if [she] weren't so damn fragile." This emotionally defensive behavior prevents Raven from many friends, but those who enter her confidence soon discover her trustworthy nature. There is no doubt that Raven is a Taurus.

10 John Constantine Will Go To Any Lengths To Achieve His Goals

9 Green Lantern Displays A Propensity For Overthinking & Overanalysis

Cancer

Green Lantern's power ring is notoriously unpredictable, and can easily seize control of the situation. As a result, he often relies on his problem-solving skills as a combat tool. Members of the Cancer sign tend to be loyal, protective, and ingenious, all while configuring their relative positions in the context of the larger picture.

Green Lantern's propensity for overthinking is a classic illustration of the Cancerian urge to analyze everything. And yet, he consistently endeavors to keep the power ring under his authority, as the consequences of losing control could be disastrous. Fans just want Green Lantern not to be so hard on himself all the time.

8 Black Canary Can Get A Little Wild & Hot-Headed At Times

Leo

People born under the Leo sign are overtly enthusiastic and persistently face their problems with a can-do attitude. Although they're capable of assessing any changes to their environment, they remain confident in the overall outcome. Being a Leo, Black Canary is assertive, clear-headed, and eager to prove herself.

She trains young heroes with the utmost care, ensuring that her students get all the opportunities available to them. On the other hand, Black Canary can get a little wild and hot-headed when her life is at stake, exemplifying the Leo's most distinctive attribute.

7 Booster Gold's Dominant Personality Contrasts Well With His Self-Effacing Persona

Virgo

Michael Carter, or Booster Gold, is an obnoxious glory hound with oodles of self-esteem at his disposal. That said, his self-effacing persona makes his character considerably more bearable. In fact, he frequently introduces himself as "Booster Gold: the greatest hero you've never heard of!"

Booster Gold's dominant personality is a notable feature of the Virgo, a sign known for its perfectionist approach. He seems incompetent on the surface, but he's genuinely talented and proficient. Booster Gold may never earn the respect and admiration he so desperately desires, but that doesn't mean he's going to stop trying.

6 Flash's Well-Balanced Personality Doesn't Change Even After He Gets Superpowers

Libra

The Flash punching villain.

Flash is geeky, socially awkward, and an all-around nerd. It can be argued that his supersonic speed helps him avoid uncomfortable situations while simultaneously allowing him to save those in need. This well-balanced character type makes Flash a stereotypical example of the Libra sign.

While largely introverted, Flash sheds his timidity when necessary, highlighting his adaptive nature. While he develops a certain level of conceit after acquiring his superpowers, Flash remains as heartwarmingly generous as ever. Other Libras could do well to learn from him.

5 Batman Always Comes Back Stronger Than Ever

Scorpio

Batman brooding

Batman is a highly complex character with an equally elaborate history. This superhero has been changed and modified numerous times over the past eighty years, but some of his core traits simply cannot be removed without unmaking his very character.

Batman is ridiculously smart, intense, and occasionally ruthless, making him a definitive Scorpio. His remarkable willpower and secretive nature further strengthen his association with this dark and brooding sign of the zodiac. Batman has been defeated many times, but he always comes back stronger than ever.

4 Robin's Positive Outlook Perfectly Juxtaposes Batman's Guarded Pessimism

Sagittarius

Robin

Although Robin is technically a sidekick, he displays a wide range of leadership qualities. He is noble, kind, selfless, heroic, and periodically stubborn. He gets down to business when required, but he also knows when to have fun and make light of the situation.

Robin's relentless optimism and positive outlook are the perfect juxtapositions to Batman's guarded pessimism. As a Sagittarius, Robin is smart, honest, reliable, independent, sensitive, and surprisingly wise. Batman doesn't really need external support in most cases, but he's certainly thankful for his side-kick.

3 Superman Is Intrinsically In Sync With Everything Around Him

Capricorn

Superman Long Hair Mullet

Capricorns are hard workers powered by an unyielding drive for success, and there's no better example of this sign than DC's greatest hero. Given his hyper-developed senses, Superman is intrinsically in sync with everything around him. The Man of Steel is an epithet that refers only to his invulnerable body.

On the contrary, Superman is open-hearted and grounded in reality. He rarely lets anything get to him, but when it does, the whole world comes to know instantly. Once he's made his decision, Superman simply cannot be swayed — he will even fight his own allies to prove his point.

2 Aquaman Is An Unyielding Free Spirit, Unbound By Earthly Or Watery Tethers

Aquarius

Aquaman on land

It might seem a bit on the nose, but Aquaman can't belong to any other zodiac sign than Aquarius. These individuals keep their own counsel, explaining why others find them mysterious and poignant. However, the Aquarius is a free spirit, a being unbound by earthly (or watery) tethers.

Aquaman is slightly eccentric, but not so much that he becomes intolerable. The King of Atlantis is also renowned for his thrill-seeking tendencies, as he doesn't quite care for concepts like strategy and tactics. That said, this impulsive behavior is also a trait of the Aquarius sign.

1 Wonder Woman Represents The Voiceless Without Speaking On Their Behalf

Pisces

Wonder Woman is a fearless leader. She represents the voiceless without actually speaking on their behalf. In fact, she gives them the strength they need to express their opinions and feelings, making her an ideal Pisces. Members of this zodiac sign are creative, amiable, and empathetic, but they're simultaneously known for caring far too much.

Despite her overwhelming powers, this Piscean feature makes Wonder Woman vulnerable to self-doubt. Her famously humble nature is arguably her best characteristic, as it prevents her from depending solely on her physical strength and magical prowess.
