CW to develop Hourman TV Series

Postby AcidDragon » Tue Nov 05, 2013 7:21 pm

Hehe yup, according to the Hollywood Reporter, the CW is planning on adding another superhero TV series to it's line up and they're looking at JSA's Hourman. One hour episode, one hour Miraclo Pill. I guess the math is right? :smlol: Hey, I love Hourman and Arrow worked out for me. Every time a DC property gets another TV series or movie or what have you, I can't help but have a big grin on my face. Not too sure what to think about this right now, but I'm sure there are more than a few JSA fans who are eager to weigh in on this one.

I'll hold off judgment until they reveal a little more about the show. Hourman's a bit of a surprise (I would've been willing to bank on a Doctor Fate series popping up before Hourman), but he's definitely a hero who lends himself to the hourlong format quite well. And, hey, who knows? If it's a success, maybe one of his JSA cohorts will wind up with a spinoff. I'd still like to see a WWII set JSA movie (and Hourman would be a big part of that) at some point, but this could be pretty cool.

Although I've got ten bucks on Hourman looking less the Rex Tyler we know and love, and more like that Brodude who stares at you from the Gap ads.

So how many DC series is that in development? Constantine, Deadman, Gotham Police, and now Hourman? Plus Amazons - although I'm pretty sure that one has been shelved - and a "possible" Flash spin-off from Arrow. Yeesh, I know they'll probably never have Marvel's success in film (because they're riding that gas pedal), but DC is actually doing a pretty decent job in the television world. They've come a long way since Birds of Prey.

Hourman is a pretty inspired choice. Maybe they'll do real-time episodes like 24? That would be pretty rad, even if is the Caucasian Whitey network. Have they said anything about what era it'll be set in?

So I'm wondering if Hourman isn't going to be a spin-off of Arrow? They introduced Ivo into the story and apparently he's searching for some WWII super soldier serum called that the Japanese developed called Mirakuru which sounds like a lot like Tyler's Miraclo and probably is. What do you guys think?

That is a great idea Avalon! I am curious to where they're going with Ivo; might be interesting to see if the Androids make an appearance of some sort; possibly in a Works-in-progress thing?
