    Sounds like a winner to me. Awhile back, I thought to myself that Marvel should tie its darker B-list properties together into an Avengers-style franchise and call it something like "Marvel Knights". It appears that DC had the same idea and beat Marvel to the punch.

    Nice to know other DC Characters are getting their moment in the spotlight. Thank you Del Toro.

    Heaven Sent is the name of the Swamp Thing arc Del Toro is probably adapting.

    Keanu Reeves back as Constantine ?

    It'll be DC's version of Hellboy then. A sentinel of magic to take on supernatural foes ?

    I shall watch this movie. Even after seeing Superman, Justice League, Avengers 2,, Spider-Man 2, Thor 2, Captain America 2, Iron Man 3, Guardians of the Galaxy, Wolverine 2, X-Men Last Stand 2, Kick Ass 2, Sin City 2, 300 prequel, Lobo and whatever else in the next 3 years: I'll still be game for more! Bring on Dark Universe, Ant Man, GL 2, Superman 2, Hulk 2, Avengers 3, Spidey 3 and whatever else they've got.

    Yeah I have my own theory as to what this will mean - http://themomusreport.blogspot.com.a...tigo-dark.html

    Funny how an film facilitated by the New 52 might be inspired by the post-Crisis Vertigo era.

    After I saw Gangster No. 1 I really wanted Paul Bettany to play him.

    Of course since then, Bettany has been in Priest and Legion, so his stock has lowered quite a bit.
