I'm sure the idea is to leverage the tv show to lay the foundation for the character before branching him off into the movies that Gunn has planned. And just from the era that we're in, in many ways i'd rather have a great tv show than a great movie.

That is the challenge though: to make another "Penguin"; an organic well-written series that can stand on it's own merit.. ideally with no forced guest appearances or gimmicky/microwaved reliance on "cinematic universe".

we are starting out medias res so the Earth Green Lanterns have been around.

Green Lantern has a okay bench of stories to pull from without cameos and stealing other characters. But also the space characters like Adam Strange who probably never will get a series or movie could organically appear.

The space cop angle is pretty flexible in terms of introducing characters I think.
