  • Justice League Dark (201x G. Del Toro, aka Dark Universe)

    Yup - Justice League Dark, the team of DC's supernatural heroes.



    Fielding a fan question at today's WonderCon panel for his upcoming Pacific Rim, Guillermo del Toro offered a few details about his in-development DC Universe project, Dark Universe (He also hinted that it may ultimately be called Justice League Dark).

    Del Toro has written a story bible for the film and they have a writer to adapt the screenplay that they hope to announce very shortly. The project won't happen, however, until after Del Toro's next, the horror story Crimson Peak.

    The film will follow John Constantine (who, Del Toro promises, will be blond this time) as its protagonist, and will include the previously-announced Swamp Thing, the Demon, Deadman, the Spectre and Zatanna as well.

    "He is basically trying to recruit," says Del Toro of the "Hellblazer" hero.

    Though the film's through-line will feature Jason Blood's history with Merlin and the Knights of King Arthur, bringing a threat to present day.

    Del Toro stressed that he didn't want any of the heroes' origins to be delivered up front and, instead, will be explored throughout the film.

    "Swamp Thing is at peace with who he is," says Del Toro, "but Deadman is still trying to find out who shot him."

    From the above roster -


    John Constantine, the Hellblazer: a working-class magician, occult detective, and con man stationed in London. He is known for his endless cynicism, deadpan snarking, ruthless cunning, and constant chain smoking

    Swamp Thing: a humanoid mass of vegetable matter who fights to protect his swamp home, the environment in general, and humanity from various supernatural or terrorist threats

    Etrigan the Demon/Jason Blood: a demon from Hell who, despite his violent tendencies, usually finds himself allied to the forces of good

    Deadman: the ghost of murdered circus performer Boston Brand who seeks his killer and justice in general

    The Spectre: for over 2,000 years the Spectre (aka: spirit of vengeance) has been bonded to a mortal host, to serve as the his guide and anchor. Now his host is murdered cop Jim Corrigan

    Zatanna Zatara: sexy stage magician and sorceress, sometimes g/f of John Constantine. Has worked with Batman, who once sought her help saying "I needed someone I could trust, but I settled for you." Still, Bats has referred to her as "Zee."
