THE PITCH
Comic books seem to be the go to for Hollywood -- and the porn industry too -- these days with lots of properties being optioned or already in production.With that in mind, I am going to look at properties ripe for a shot in the TV or film medium.
Medium: TV
Okay, yes, there was a short lived and incredibly bad TV series based on this concept. This was a shame as there was potential there but the producers didn't seem able to grasp it. But with the right people in charge the concept is strong enough to support a series.
Using Supernatural and Person of Interest as jumping off points in terms of how the series dynamics should work, the series would follow the adventures of Oracle/Barbara Gordon and Black Canary/Dinah Lance, with later seasons adding Huntress/Helena Bertinelli to the mix, as they fight crime around the USA. It would follow the same road as the plethora of the procedural series on TV but with the twist of comic book villians -- using DC's library of villians -- instead of the run of the mill TV villians.
It would also be an idea to acknowledge, but shift away from, the Batman mythos. Set the series in Chicago and not Gotham. This way you don't have the shadow of the Bat cast too much over the series.
