Yes, but of all characters, Plastic Man is not the one i wanted them to combine with him. They are the two characters people often confuse for each other. Even DCAU made a joke about it. I don't really get your motivation for being opposed to Plas, but, uh, opinions are opinions, I guess.

Although if it's on basis of "Why not just introduce Plastic Man himself?", than I agree. It's just that Elongated Man is more often associated with the Flash. Yeah, the DCAU made a joke about them even though Plastic Man never appeared at all in the series. Also, the creators of Elongated Man had no idea that DC owned Plastic Man, so Ralph Dibny was created as a ripoff of Plastic Man.
