The Sandman TV Show? Great Hera give me Strength


If there's a classic, powerful, odd comic book that presents a wide array of stories and characters; I beg for it to stay on comic book print.

However, that's not the case. Warner Bros. is planning on making The Sandman (Neil Gaiman's version) into a TV show... Somebody give me a Coney Island Iced Tea.

Warner Bros. TV is in the midst of acquiring television rights from sister company DC Entertainment and in talks with several writer-producers about adapting the 1990s comic. At the top of the list is Eric Kripke, creator of the CW’s horror-tinged “Supernatural.”

“Sandman” told the tale of Morpheus, the Lord of the Dreaming, a deity who personifies dreams. The book began in the horror realm but quickly made its mark in fantasy and mythology as Gaiman introduced the Endless, a group of powerful brothers and sisters named Destiny, Death, Destruction, Despair, Desire and Delirium (as well as Dream).

Now, I'm not sure if these stories can be done on TV, and I don't mean any harm, but Supernatural? Let's just say it's not a Buffy or a True Blood.

Unless, Neil is writing, casting, producing and directing this, it's a "No" for me.
