ELIZABETH BANKS Developing DC's DOCTOR THIRTEEN for CW
Henry Bennett
Christopher Ortiz
Literally what the fuck even is this
Grayson Lopez
Sounds like gold to me.
Wyatt Bailey
This is the one where the dad wants to fuck the daughter right?
Tyler Morris
That's the one with the incest, right?
Chase Kelly
Anyone want a storytime of this thing?
Anthony Peterson
>Yes we have a streaming site for DC movies and television that will feature new and original content
>We're not going to actually use it but we have it
Ian Rivera
>CW
looking forward to it being absolute shit
Bentley Carter
This was a backup in the 8 part miniseries "Tales of the Unexpected"
Julian Lee
Thad iz pure gol'.
Nolan Carter
...
Xavier Reyes
I don't think that will make the show.
Hunter Murphy
...
Carter Ortiz
Incest is very IN these days
Parker Foster
...
Juan Nelson
...
Adam Brown
I'm more surpised that Elizabeth Banks is developing this than the fact that it's getting developed.
Hunter King
...
Andrew Carter
Here we go!
Daniel Jenkins
>based on the book by Azzarello and Chiang
How?
Not only was it a short affair but it was built mostly on references and comic writing conventions that can't work for TV.
There's less architects and more executives with TV. Things don't get retconned and resorted as much. None of the characters have existed beforehand to feel their exclusion from continued presence is unfair.
Leo Myers
...
Joshua Foster
This sounds right up my alley
Sebastian Smith
Wait wasn’t this story a fucking back up in a spectre series?
Lucas Rodriguez
Sounds like they just want to do a father/daughter ghost hunting/cryptid thing, and Structure and Mortality was the most recent thing both have been in
Liam Cooper
...
Jaxson Walker
Plus the incest. It'll sell alone on the incest angle.
Charles Wilson
...
Parker Fisher
...
Andrew Lee
...
Aiden Morgan
...
Levi Thompson
...
Camden Carter
It’s funny I just finished reading tales of the unexpected specifically and I always skipped this part
Jeremiah Lewis
The weirdest thing about the incest...is how it's there. It completely comes out of of left field and it doesn't really get resolved in any way.
Jayden Morales
...
Benjamin Collins
This story is ~130 pages, so I am going to skip covers.
This is how the next part starts
Joshua Flores
I can't say that I liked all the accents and Ebonics that Azz seems to love
Samuel Long
...
Lincoln Sanders
>our in--uh--ancestral home.
Heh.
Andrew Allen
...
Lucas Campbell
...
Cameron Long
...
Asher Lopez
Dr 13 has been a character long before Azzarello wrote him. He's just a supernatural hoax exposer.
Chase Gutierrez
just like in real life
Kayden Bennett
...
Christian Long
Yep, everyone in this was specifically old characters who were not used in a long time, though wasn't Traci Blue Beetle's girlfriend for a while?
Julian James
...
Dominic Butler
...
Adrian Ramirez
>2006
Charles Davis
I know what he's been in comics, I was referring to how none of these characters have existed before in TV.
>"built mostly on references"
>"can't work for TV"
>go on to cite all the differences between comics and TV
Anyway OP already clarified a show "based on" this probably means something far more loosely related to than "adapted", so it doesn't really matter.
Xavier Rivera
...
Jack Anderson
...
Carson Price
literally when did you literally get here from reddit you literal casual
> but it wasn't a movie why should I know about iiiiiit
Elijah Peterson
...
Dylan Hughes
...
Colton Rogers
...
Thomas Lopez
...
John Foster
Azz is really fond of "jump ahead in time" with every single issue
Ian Williams
...
Austin Fisher
I am excite!
Can it also feature Blue Beetle?
Jackson Anderson
...
Matthew Garcia
>though wasn't Traci Blue Beetle's girlfriend for a while?
I was never ok with that for some reason. It wasn't one sided either, I felt like neither was really getting anything from the pairing aside from the collision of alien tech and magic being repped through them.
Nolan Cooper
...
Brandon Hall
...
Dylan Martinez
If comicvine is right, then it looks like she joined his book right after this miniseries ended.
Apparently she's a lesbian in rebirth, but I haven't read Superwoman
Joseph Sullivan
...
Parker Wood
>Apparently she's a lesbian in rebirth
I'm less ok with that, guess I should have been careful what I wished for.
Jackson Hernandez
...
Colton Hernandez
> apes
DC's big red "in case of boredom" button but god damn if it always works
Ryan Reed
...
Gabriel Gray
Don't worry, that lesbian thing ain't gonna stick.
Joshua Davis
one attractive woman short of comic books in one page
Kevin Taylor
...
Nathaniel Wood
Don't worry, there's a sickeningly attractive woman coming up
Jaxson Sullivan
...
Ian Howard
Somewhere Azz was screaming "DO YOU GET IT?"
Jace Martinez
...
Sebastian Jackson
>Mignola drawn Spectre
Shit, now I want this series to exist so badly now
Easton Perry
...
Connor Thomas
remember that time JEB Stuart thought his descendant was the white guy but it was the black guy
Jose Rogers
Yep. The ultimate irony of this miniseries is that most of the characters ended up appearing in the main DCU almost immediately after. Traci appeared in Blue Beetle, Haunted Tank got a Vertigo miniseries, and I, Vampire got a New52 series

Cliff Chiang has a very attractive artstyle.
It is wasted on "obvious movie pitch" Paper Girls.
Oliver Walker
...
Hunter Gonzalez
...
Brandon Rogers
>so I am going to skip covers.
They're all just Spectre covers anyway, aren't they?
John Wilson
...
Christopher Torres
yeah, this is my first thought..
ah, that makes more sense.
Robert Moore
Yes they are. Some people like their issues split up though, so I decided to at least mention that there are no cover breaks coming up
Colton Stewart
...
Hunter Gonzalez
Yeah, reading the actual article it looks more like Father Daughter Ghost Adventures than exploring the glorious trash of cape comics.
Camden Hall
...
Juan Turner
Poor Funky
Lincoln Stewart
This is going to be one of the iZombie kind of deal right? In name adaptation only?
