Warner Bros. has locked up a fresh take on the superhero canon.
David Goyer, who helped return Batman to the bigscreen, will produce "Super Max," a tale that finds DC Comics' superhero the Green Arrow incarcerated in a special prison and stripped of his powers.
Story is based on an original idea by Justin Marks, who is set to pen the script. Goyer is producing with partner Jessika Borsiczky.
"Super Max" begins with a traditional comicbook hero, but the storyline takes a turn as Green Arrow's true identity is revealed and he's forced to band together on an escape attempt with the very villains he's previously imprisoned.
A fixture in adapting comicbooks to the bigscreen, Goyer hatched the story for "Batman Begins" and co-wrote the script with helmer Christopher Nolan. He also helped come up with the story for follow-up "The Dark Knight," which Nolan is set to begin lensing this summer from a script by his brother, Jonah Nolan.
Goyer's other upcoming writing credits include "Jumper," which Doug Lyman will direct for 20th Century Fox and New Regency. Goyer also is penning a remake of the sci-fi horror pic "Scanners" for Dimension that Darren Lynn Bousman will helm.
On the directing side, Goyer helmed fantasy-thriller "The Invisible," a Spyglass production that Touchstone Pictures releases April 27. Pic marks his directorial follow-up to "Blade: Trinity."
Marks has set up a number of projects around town, including penning "Voltron" for producer Mark Gordon and adapting vidgame "Street Fighter" for Ashok Amritraj's Hyde Park Entertainment. He's also working on an untitled thriller for producer Kevin Misher and Paramount.
Goyer is repped by CAA. Marks is repped by WMA and Madhouse Entertainment.
