CW developing Deadman series

Well if he sticks with the circus, that might be the standing set, even as it travels from town to town.
 
I dont know that the costume is really a problem. Its basically a red jumpsuit and a face mask. After he dies we can turn the jumpsuit dark red almost black and just lose the facemask. I dont think we need the circus after the pilot either, but we do need to have him searching for his killer as well as a way out of just being a ghost. Supernatural has manged to survive without a love interest so I dont think we need one of those either. Oh and of course we need GhostFacers to show up once a season.
 
If he has a lot of screen time in spectral form then they should ditch the costume, but if he has minimal screen time in spectral form and is almost always seen embodying one of the living then it would worth considering keeping some version of the costume if it fits the tone they're shooting for - particularly if they're going to feature a lot of the supernatural and magical characters of the DCU. Of course we might end up with something as far afield of the comics as Human Target.
 
The CW has two kinds of shows: where the romance is heterosexual, overt and triangular (Vampire Diaries) and where it is slashy, coyly disguised and binary (Supernatural, Smallville).

Deadman seems to fit in with the latter type, so the main character needs to have a a foil who is young, hot, and male (the Hook?) Deadman can inhabit the body of anyone in the world except the Hook, but until he does, he can never return to the land of the living.

Dr. Freud need not apply, we can figure this one our for ourselves. :rommie:

Who needs a love interest when we have Wincest? :rommie:

Wincest is a blight upon Supernatural fandom. :p

Supernatural has survived without love interests because the show's not about romance. Every time they tried to introduce love interests, they blew up in the writers' faces.

Once it didn't work. Once, and the writer's realized it before it even got to a state of romance (Jo). Everyone else has either been deliberately plained out as just a hook up, or was specifically designed to show why the character can't be a relationship, or designed specifically to set the plot movie (Death of Jessica).

Smallville really falls more into the first category.
 
Yes There is slash fans for Clark/Lex, but the featured far, far more traditional romance. The vast majority straight couples and straight triangles. They embraced that to a large degree for character focus.

Hell tehy even did it with the Parents with Martha/& Jonathan and Lionel trying to get between them.

3 different characters in triangles with Lana & Clark (1st season's Eric Johnson character, Jason Teague, and of course Lex for a few seasons), heck you could probably add Chloe and Lois there for certain years.

You have the Lois/Clark and Oliver for a season, ect, ect, ect. Heck even Jimmy, Chloe, and Doomsday guy (or even Jimmy's fear of Clark).
