Obscuring a classic?

A Goyer adaptation of the Gaiman property? Not sure how to feel about this.

Mike Fleming, Jr., Deadline Hollywood (12/16/13)
Joseph Gordon-Levitt is finalizing a deal to produce Sandman at Warner Bros with David Goyer, who pitch his treatment for the Neil Gaiman comic book classic. It has been rumored that Gordon-Levitt might star, and the deal he’s making attaches him as the protagonist. I’m told that in addition to that, he’s eyeing the project as a directing vehicle.

Movie Rights to Victoria Schwab’s VICIOUS Acquired by Ridley Scott’s Production Company | Collider

A masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, desire, and superpowers.

Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.

Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end?

Hurm. Gonna look into this book. Anyone read it yet?
 
I remember buying 3 copies of the issue where Azrael becomes the new Batman thinking it would make me rich.

Now one can pretty much find said issue for a quarter at conventions. mhihi:

Starlin isn't what he used to be, but there's no way I can not buy this.
