A new report suggests Warner Bros. is looking to further expand on the darker side of DC. According to insider Daniel Richtman, a live-action Deadman project is in the works for HBO Max.
Created by Arnold Drake and Carmine Infantino in 1967, Deadman made his debut in Strange Adventures #205. A former circus trapeze artist, Boston Brand performed under the stage name Deadman. After he was murdered, his spirit was given the ability to possess the living in order to search for his killer and find justice. The character has appeared in several teams, including the Justice League and Justice League Dark.
