One of the things that must be depressing to people who hate comic book films is that even now, over 20 years into the genre’s popularity, there is a wide, untapped spring of film worthy-properties just waiting for adaptations. One of the better ones, Black Hammer<\/strong>. is about to make the leap to TV and Film.<\/p>\n

Deadline<\/a> is reporting that Legendary Entertainment has optioned Jeff Lemire and Dean Ormston’s creator-owned Dark Horse Comics series Black Hammer <\/strong>with the idea to adapt it to movies and television.<\/p>\n

Black Hammer <\/strong>is a deconstruction of the superhero comic book genre which follows a team of heroes who are transported to a strange, off-kilter town called Rockwood after defeating their arch-nemesis. They series deals with the struggles of them trying to escape the city.<\/p>\n

Lemire has expanded the original world of the series with a number of spin-off that fleshed out the Black Hammer <\/strong>universe. So, Legendary has acquired a pre-fab shared universe for them to conquer all media with.<\/p>\n

Lemire is no stranger to having his comic book work adapted into other media. His The Underwater Welder <\/strong>is being adapted to film by Ryan Gosling and his Descender <\/strong>and Gideon Falls <\/strong>have been optioned to television.<\/p>\n
