Deadman TV Series in Development

Hopefully it goes better than Wonder Woman

I'll give the series a fair chance, but I don't know it doesn't really FEEL like the show that will follow in smallville's footsteps, maybe if they picked a more recognizable like green arrow or something of that nature I'd be more inclined to think it would be, we'll see

I like it. I also want to see if there would be room for a Hellblazer TV series, or the Vertigo published Madame Xanadu, or a long shot, a show on Shade The Changing Man.

I always thought Resurrection Man would have made a dope tv show..

Hopefully it goes better than Wonder Woman

glad people agree about zatanna, never heard about a raven show being made though have to google it now

YES YES AND MORE YES. I love Deadman hearing he'll have a show is awesome.

I hope they keep his costume.
Deadman is one of my favorite characters... I hope they don't screw him up like Superman.

I dont think that this is going to happen... 
 
As interesting this is, and as MUCH as I and other comic community nerds want this to happen... I dont think this will fly.  
 
Smallville had the the familiar feel of comic books that the general public understands- its pretty much common knowledge that Clark was adopted, and he grew up in a small town and plus, everyone KNOWS Superman. I would love to see a Deadman series, but I dont see the general prime-time audiences would be able to understand or find any kind of relationship with this awesome super hero. Too many of his outstanding qualities and most well known actions have been in comics- nothing super major in other media that makes him recognizable   
 
At least, I feel that way if Deadman were to be picked up by major media networks. Lets be honest, ABC/WB/FOX has wider, broader, range of an audience vs Syfy who has a specific audience target that would have a higher probability of knowing who Deadman is, and thus appreciating the series. 

I think really the next bet for the new super hero series is something that BEEN in other major media , or had some kind of cameo in Smallville.

Sounds like a awesome show, would love to see how it comes out

I guess it will be kind of like Quantum Leap

Hey, if Kripke is working on it, I'm behind the idea.

Sounds pretty cool, I'd definitely watch it. 
I predict this show will last for 4 seasons minimum, if it gets made.

I'm have a feeling this is gonna be another HIPSTER TEEN series...

...Why?

Mehhhhhhhhhh

I love Deadman. Boston Brand has always been an awesome character. I wonder how they'd try to pull the show off though... I'm really really hoping Kripke goes the Quantum Leap route. Boston would obviosly be like Sam & Rama could fill the Al role! Oh, to dream...

Deadman would be AWESOME

I would like to see a reboot of Birds of Prey!

now, outside of thoes lovely DC cartoons such as "Justice League" and "Batman Brave and the bold" i'm not really to familiar with the character, though I am going to be picking up DC Univerce Presents, come september. I don't see this idea being either bad or good, it all depends on the writing, but i can definatly guess that this show, if produced, will not be as big a hit for the CW as Smallville. People, even non-comic readers, know who Clark Kent/Superman is and therefore sort of knew where the series was going. DSeadman is going to be an anomaly with them. Some people might jump on because its a paranormal series, but others might not, comparing it to other supernatural series..... no pun intended. 
 
Now personally I'd love to see a Booster Gold / Blue beetle series (the current blue beetle) I mean just imagine it. Hero kicking bad guy but acction, Time travel (for booster), and teen drama (for beetle). It's got the scify and drama elements that just spell out viewers..... though this might just be my imagination running wild (I also like the idea of a Bart Allen show. starting him out as he was in the comics, and developing him to the point that he was in his flashpoint mini series).  But these be my thoughts. :P We'll just have to wait and see.

As long as they do not have Kristen Kruek in the show to help drag it down for 7 seasons, and PLEASE do not have the same 5 minute dialog at the end of almost every show about him trying to deal with his powers, his dad or his feelings for Lana or Louis....

I would be somewhat interested in watching this but there are so many more people from Dc that they could have chose. 

Scott Bakula will be playing him, right?

Thanks for reminding me of Quantum Leap. I miss that show. D: They need to make a television special and give the series a proper freakin' ending.

@ninjacommando: Serinda Swan reprising her role of Zatanna in her own show would be freaking epic..!

@RareCheshire: I totally agree. Dina Meyer was the best Babs, if it was to be eventually redone they should keep it more like the comics.

@RareCheshire: Same, every time I watch it, Its like she's the real live living Barbara Gordon straight from the comics.

Its not that I wouldn't want a Deadman series, its that I wouldn't want a >>CW<< Deadman series. 
 
so let's see... they'll get rid of the costume and white face... probably replace him with a 20-something pretty boy in skinny jeans... lots of emoting... oooh, I got a great idea.  Boston dies with his brought-to-you-by-Verizon smartphone , so he's never without his undead collection of music on a device that never needs to be recharged.  Great for having an excuse to play Vanessa Carlton or some crappy pop-punk band during emotional moments in the show.  Greenlight that s**t now... it can't be as bad as Aquaman.

That's be dope! I think Wes Bentley would be perfect for the role. In fact I just did a blog where you can also see who I think would be an ideal Dove in a hypothetical Brightest Day movie=]

any updates on this?

Really great idea. Deadman is a great, interesting character andCW is the master of the live action superhero show. Everybody wins!

An intangible hero who leaps from body to body solving problems worked pretty well for Quantum Leap once upon a time. I could see it working if done right.

HA! i love the comparison to Quantum Leap....but yeah sooo much potential

i saw one of interviews at NY comic con on youtube with a random cosplayer that he will be playing deadman in some movie or show, dont know how true it is or if i heard it right
