As promised by DC Studios’ co-CEO, James Gunn, more animated projects will be underway following Creature Commandos.
According to our sources, we can exclusively report that one of these will be an animated series centered on the character Deadman. DC Animation's Deadman series is in early development currently with no writers or scripts in place and has yet to receive the green light.
The character Deadman was created in 1967 by Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino and debuted in Strange Adventures #607. Deadman was originally a trapeze artist named Boston Brand who used the stage name Deadman during his performances. During a performance, Brand is murdered and his spirit is chosen by the goddess Rama Kushna to avenge his own death. Although he is unable to be seen or speak to the living, he has the ability to possess living beings and communicate to the living through his host bodies.
Over the years, Deadman has crossed over and interacted with several DC characters. He has been a central figure during the “Blackest Night” and “Brightest Day” storylines and is even brought back to life with a White Lantern ring. In The New 52 initiative, he joins forces with several supernatural characters such as Zatanna and John Constantine as part of Justice League Dark. These storylines could possibly set up Deadman for an appearance in a future season of Lanterns or a possible Justice League Dark project.
In similar vein to Creature Commandos, it’s expected that whoever is cast as the voice of Deadman, will reprise the role in future live-action projects within the DCU. The same is expected for the multiple other animated DCU projects currently being developed for the franchise’s 8-10 year plan.
This story is developing.
