Variety report that British writer Drew Pearce has been hired by Paramount to pen the adaptation of DC Comic series, The Mighty.

The studios acquired the rights back in June, with Chris Bender, JC Spink and Jake Weiner involved as producers. Pearce is currently believed to be working on the Iron Man 3 script after being brought aboard the project by Disney and director Shane Black.

The Mighty, an original graphic novel from writers Peter J. Tomasi and Keith Champagne, tells the story of Alpha-One, the world's most powerful super-being, who has always been a force for good. But a cop who's life was saved by Alpha One as a child, has uncovered his hero's dark plan that will put them on a collision course of an ordinary man versus a super-man.

Drew Pearce is only writing Iron Man 3 to make sure Shane makes it "family friendly", my ass an 'R' rated Iron Man movie would be cool with me. Stark doesn't live a "family friendly" life, let Shane do what he does best because Kiss Kiss Bang Bang was kick ass

@MrAnonymous

what u talking about Iron Man should never be R-Rated its good for it to be PG-13

@Intruder

well this has nothing to do with WB since Paramount got the rights but yeah Bravo WB lol

Another non-descript superhero movie that will saturate the comic book movie pool and make the genre to crash - no matter how good it is.

Flash and Wonder Woman should saturate the CBM pool, not this non-descript obvious superhero movie.

@Intruder

well the people at DC Entertainment Diane Nelson and Geoff Johns dont know sh!t at all. i consider Batman movie now as Nolan work not DC films since they cant pull of Green Lantern right.

I thought WB had the rights to all of the DC catalog but this is good since being released by Paramount means the movie has a much better chance at not sucking. :-P

It's really sad though, this project is being picked up, Ghost Rider is releasing another film, Jessica Jones and Mockingbird are getting TV shows... all these lesser known heroes are getting or in the process of getting the live treatment yet we still have NO live adaptation of Flash nor a big screen one for Wonder Woman. smh

@Sugar .. he said that the writer of Ironman 3 which is being released by Disney /Paramount is the same writer for this movie. I think since the WB owns DC that they will release it. I really don't know why they are doing this as a movie ..it's interesting and would be better played out on tv. I never read it, but it sounds cool.

it's probably cheaper to get this rights for the movie, rather then try to get the rights of Wonder Woman or Flash.

@SugarYumYum how does Jessica Jones, Ghost Rider or Mockingbird effect Wonder Woman or Flash? Those are Marvel properties being produced by different studios.

The Mighty is being released by Paramount, not WB (who own DC).

There seems to be quite a bit of reading comprehension failure in the comments of the article. If any of those complaining actually read the article. Paramount got the rights for the Mighty from DC and are putting this movie out, not WB who would be the ones putting out Flash and Wonder Woman.

@JohnTom88 "non-descript obvious superhero movie." lol. Like Flash and Wonder Woman wouldn't be?

@ZombieOverEasy Flash & WW are known as the "quite famous obvious superhero movie". I would rather give them a chance then some unknown properties that most people don't care filling up the comic movie pool and then the demand crash.
