With Batman currently the box office's reigning comic book hero, thoughts turn to the big screen prospects of other titles in the DC Comics library. One character eagerly awaiting his shot is Green Arrow, the acerbic Robin Hood of the DC universe, whose vehicle Super Max is one of Hollywood's longer-gestating projects.
Pressed for an update on the film at Comic-Con, Super Max writer/director David Goyer, who was in San Diego to promote his upcoming horror flick Unborn, stated that Warner Bros. is now "reevaluating" the project. Iron Man and The Dark Knight have "changed the landscape" of superhero movies, he noted, and now Warner Bros. is re-thinking how they approach the DC-based titles in their stable of upcoming flicks.
Of course, "reevaluating" could mean anything from simply re-tooling the script to shelving the project entirely. In this case, it's more likely the former, as Goyer remains hopeful that the project will move forward within a year.
