News on David Goyer's supervillain prison film, "Super Max." has been pretty much non existent since rumor of the movie broke over a year ago. Originally concieved as a "Green Arrow" story which would see DC's emerald archer plan a prison break with some of DC's most infamous villains such as Joker, Riddler and Lex Luthor.
MTV brought it up when chatting to David S Goyer..
"We're working on that. We're about to bring on another writer," Goyer told MTV News. "Obviously, Warner Bros. is now heavily into mining all of the various DC properties."
"We came up with the idea and thought it could work in either the Marvel or the DC universe," he explained. "It needed that type of character and there are analogues in both universes. Green Arrow seemed to make the most amount of sense."
As for whether "Super Max" is making any forward progress these days, Goyer simply said, "It's definitely something we're developing."
I hope this happens. I was never a huge fan of Green Arrow but have since gained an appreciation for him thorough the JLU cartoon and Smallville of all things! Also, the premise sounds great to me.
