Dark Universe

[Silver Nemesis]

Guillermo del Toro is developing a superhero team movie based on the Justice League Dark series. Speaking to Total Film, del Toro said:

"Yeah, I am going to be presenting my storyline to DC and Warners of where I want to take this universe. We do have a writer, but until that is firmed up, I have to keep it a secret. I hope it happens. It's going really really well. It's like meeting old friends. I grew up with Demon Etrigan, with Swamp Thing, with Deadman, so these are characters that are near and dear to my heart.

I'd love to use the origins that are proper to each character. I love the idea of Jason Blood as a paladin and a knight.... I love the entire Constantine mythology, the Dead Man mythology, the Alex Holland Swamp Thing mythology. These are really rich things to well, and to dig."

He also spoke to IGN about the film, at the same time discussing Warner Bros' general attitude towards their comic book properties.

It'll be interesting to see if this goes ahead. And if so, will it replace the other more mainstream Justice League project that was previously in development?

If they can figure out a way to work the Neil Gaiman Sandman into it, the goths will finally have a homecoming of their own.
