A Deadman Movie Produced By Guillermo del Toro?

Sounds good to me.

Let's think about Deadman for a moment. How familiar are you with him? How much do you know about him? He's a character that's been around since the late 60s yet I don't think he gets enough credit for how cool he is. Perhaps his recent appearance in Blackest Night: Batman will bring more attention to his character. 
 
Bloody Disgusting has reported that Warner Brothers has plans for a Deadman movie. Nikolaj Arcel is reported as the director and Guillermo del Toro is said to be producing. That would be really cool. Del Toro could add a lot to the movie. I think because Deadman's not a household name, they would have more control over the movie. There would probably be less pressure. They could actually make the character true to his comic roots and not have to worry about the mainstream audience. Given the fact that he is a...dead man and the fact that he was murdered, they could add some darkness to the movie. Hopefully when Deadman jumps into an inhabits someone's body, it won't come across as too cheesy. 
 
What are your thoughts on a Deadman movie? Would you go see it? Do you think del Toro producing will add a lot? Could Deadman have his actual costume in the movie?
