Looks like that NBC Constantine series really will happen as Deadline reveal that a pilot episode has been ordered. The show will be produced by The Mentalistt executive producer Daniel Cerone and, the man who now very much seems to be DC/WB's go-to-guy, David S. Goyer. Constantine (which looks to be the title for the time being) centers on John Constantine, an "enigmatic and irreverent con man-turned-reluctant supernatural detective who is thrust into the role of defending us against dark forces from beyond". The character is also expected to pop up in Guillermo del Toro's Dark Universe (an adaptation of the Justice League Dark comic book) and of course was already featured in his own movie starring Keanu Reeves - though I'm sure we all hope that the next incarnation will be a bit more blond..and British.

I'm so glad this is on NBC.

Since David Goyer is attached AND this show is on a different Network than The CW, I can already see a connection to the DCCU, or at least Del Toro's movie plans.

Nice! Hope it'll be great.

When the Sandman movie comes out, if they decide to include the Constantine section of Volume 1, I hope they use the guy from the show. Would be a great crossover.

@OmegaDaGod

uh... this is literally the only thing they have announced since then. Announcing that a Constantine Pilot has been ordered constitutes as "fire everything"? Yeah ok....

LOL @ Omega

If DC really wanted to trump Marvel today they would announce The Rock officially or who is playing Lex etc......
