Madame Xanadu Series In Development For HBO Max
If it seems like there have been a lot of projects announced lately that dip into the mystical side of the DC Universe, there’s a reason: JJ Abrams was hired by WB last year to develop movies and shows based on the “Justice League Dark” super-team. He was also hired to make a movie about a Black Superman, but that’s a news item for another time. Point is, some really great characters are now in a perilous position, their chances at mainstream fame in the hands of a guy who has a reputation for botching it up. They’re doing something with Constantine, and we can be assured Matt Ryan won’t be getting a phone call because that would make too much sense. A vague undefined project with Zatanna was announced a few months ago, and I expressed my grievances and worries here. They came true: it’s a movie, and its script writer spoke a lot of words about making it really “dark.” ZATANNA IS NOT DARK! SHE! IS! NOT! DARK!
