According to Deadline, Fox have given a pilot commitment to Lucifer, with Californication creator and executive producer Tom Kapinos attached to develop the project for DC Comics and Warner Bros. The character was a supporting player in Neil Gaiman's Sandman (which Joseph Gordon-Levitt and David S. Goyer are currently trying to bring to the big screen), but he would later get his own pretty popular spin-off. The site adds that the TV series which Kapinos is also writing, "centers on Lucifer who, bored and unhappy as the Lord of Hell, resigns his throne and abandons his kingdom for the gorgeous, shimmering insanity of Los Angeles, where he opens an exclusive piano bar called Lux." This Fall will see Arrow, Constantine, The Flash and Gotham all on TV, with Supergirl and a Nightwing led Titans series also on the way. Lucifer's adventures have taken place on Earth, Heaven and in a number of other realms, though how much of this the TV show will delve into remains to be seen. How do you guys feel about this latest DC Comics TV series?

Plot doesn't even sound all that great for a television series anyways.

I can get wanting the superhero ones to be connected, but really? Constantine? iZombie? Lucifer?! If there are some guys who can get adaptations without needing to be connected to any superhero DC shit, then its those Vertigo properties.

No please. I think they have enough. Also for some reason I see Constantine not lasting every night.

So if you're expecting this to be connected to the DCCU or thought it should be you can officially hand in your comic book reader card due to your pure ignorance. This is a Vertigo title people.

"Holy shit i hate dc." And yet you still feel the need to talk about them Ad nauseam. You're either an annoying troll, or a guy who gets off on constantly reading about stuff he knows he hates and will make him angry.

Don't care about Sandman but can't wait Gotham, Titans and Supergirl! And of course Arrow is mega awesome, want to see Flash too.

Damn they're going hard when it comes to TV. I'm betting there's going to be some crisis later on and that will merge all of these TV universes with the DCCU.

I would like to know how shows like:
Gotham
Constantine
iZombie
Agents of SHIELD
Lucifer
Preacher
are going to kill the superhero tv industry when none of them are superheroes.
