Writer Tom King’s reign of adaptations continues: The Hollywood Reporter has the news that Warner Bros. Animation and DC Studios have greenlit a new series based on Mister Miracle, a 12-issue series by King and artist Mitch Gerads.
Mister Miracle is—well, I’ll let the collected volume’s synopsis explain:
Scott Free is the greatest escape artist who ever lived. So great that he escaped Granny Goodness’ gruesome orphanage and the dangers of Apokolips to travel across galaxies and set up a new life on Earth with his wife, the former Female Fury known as Big Barda. Using the stage alter ego of Mister Miracle, he has made a career for himself showing off his acrobatic escape techniques.He even caught the attention of the Justice League, which counted him among its ranks.You might say Scott Free has everything…so why isn’t it enough? Mister Miracle has mastered every illusion, achieved every stunt, pulled off every trick—except one. He has never escaped death. Is it even possible? Our hero is going to have to kill himself if he wants to find out.
King will serve as showrunner for the series, which THR says is currently in production. THR also says the “boilerplate” for the series describes it as a “harrowing, hilarious, heart-wrenching journey across the pitfalls of the ordinary and extraordinary as the son of God raised by the devil tries to save his family, his world, and maybe even himself.”
That’s a lot, no? That feels like a lot.
Tom King is a very busy man in the DC universe these days; the upcoming Supergirl movie is based on Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, by King and artist Bilquis Evely. He’s also a writer and producer on the series Lanterns, and the series Love Everlasting, from King and Elsa Charretier, is being made into a movie directed by Room’s Lenny Abrahamson.[end-mark]
