Deadman is one of those characters that I will pretty much follow through any title he appears in. I have always loved his look and his unique perspective on things. I am very happy that his profile has risen so much in recent years, with his apperances on the animated JLU and Batman: The Brave and Bold shows and a prominent role in the Blackest Night and Brightest Day series. Another reason to love Deadman is the great artists that have illustradted his adventures - Adams, Aparo, Garcia-Lopez... he really brought out the best in them. I wasn't crazy about the Kelley Jones emaciated version, but I have to admit it was an interesting spin on the look.
Deadman is another property that I feel could be easily developed for television. It's tailor made for a Quantum Leap-type show. They would probably discard his trapeze uniform and mask though, which would be too bad, because it looks so cool!
Outstanding!
ReplyDeleteInstead of the debacle that was "Grayson" - pitching a pre-Robin, Smallville-esque take on Dick Grayson as the next big thing on the CW...somebody should be pitching Deadman!...With The Flying Graysons...
Huge Quantum Leap fan! Would love to see a Deadman like that!
I can see this happening

Some of those are definitely coming up. Remember, characters with a "The" won't show up until the T's.
ReplyDeleteDeadman was developed as a TV show in 2000 by TNT as an hourlong show to be a companion to "Witchblade". After that show was cancelled due to the actress going to rehab, they dropped Deadman too. I'm not sure if a pilot was ever shot.
