BI did hold the rights to this for years and never got it into development. I think the rights went back to Time-Warner, but I haven't heard I thing since, other than it was not part of the licensing deal between FFG and GW.

Maybe I'm the lone voice in the wilderness on this topic, but I think the time is right for a new Super Hero RPG. I can't think of any better hands for a DC RPG franchise to be in than FFG's.

Since this is a wishing well, I might as well go for broke... Picture it cover art by Alex Ross... fluff by Mark Waid... and a non-d20 system... perhaps along the lines of Dark Heresy...
