As every network rushes to claim its own Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. competitor about the ordinary, and therefore easier-to-put-on-TV people in a comic book world, NBC has set its sights on Constantine as a potential drama series. Building a comics-based supernatural procedural around John Constantine—a cynical con artist and magician who’s reluctantly drawn into playing the role of a demon-slaying detective (possibly because he keeps wearing that trenchcoat)—seems an obvious, if a bit redundant choice for NBC, given that it already has a supernatural procedural about a demon-slaying detective in Grimm. Still, Constantine comes preloaded with a built-in fanbase and a deep comic-book mythology that can be easily ignored by David S. Goyer, who’s partnering to write and executive produce alongside The Mentalist’s David Cerone.
