David Goyer Talks Green Arrow/SuperMax Project
MTV.COM caught up with David Goyer (producer of SuperMax) and they discussed the state of his uber-villain prison, Super Max. We were told by DC Comics President, Paul Levitz, that 2 Green Arrow projects were being developed at the same time and they were just a few DC projects that were in development at Warner Brothers. The projects listed were an origin story and the SuperMax story. We had heard about the prison-set piece previous to this being written by Justin Marks back in February when news of a DC Suicide Squad film was being talked about.
The premise, for those not in the know, is the DC hero Green Arrow is wrongly placed in jail and ends up enlisting some of the worst of the worst in the DC universe to get out. Goyer had this to stay about the state of the project:
“We’re working on that. We’re about to bring on another writer. Obviously, Warner Bros. is now heavily into mining all of the various DC properties.”
The writer mentioned is Justin Marks and he is leaving the project. Goyer also went on to discuss aspects of the Green Arrow character being behind bars:
“We came up with the idea and thought it could work in either the Marvel or the DC universe. It needed that type of character and there are analogues in both universes. Green Arrow seemed to make the most amount of sense.”
“We’ve populated the prison with all sorts of B and C villains from the DC Universe. For the fans, there will be all sorts of characters the hardcore comic book junkies will know, but they’re all going to be there under their human names and no one is wearing a costume, but there will be a lot of characters with powers and things like that.”
