From Deadline<\/a><\/p>\n

Paramount Pictures has acquired\u00a0The Mighty<\/em>, a graphic novel published by DC Comics. Mary Parent’s Paramount-based Disruption Entertainment will produce. Parent and Cale Boyter will produce with Benderspink’s JC Spink. While DC product usually goes through Warner Bros, this one had rights that were controlled by the creators, Keith Champagne and Peter Tomasi. The artist is Peter Snejberg. In The Mighty<\/em>, they’ve come up with a nifty take on the superhero genre. The protagonist is mortal, a tough cop. He hunts a villain who is the superhero and must overcome the obvious disadvantages of going up against someone with superpowers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Updated logline:\u00a0The Mighty <\/em>tells the story of Alpha-One, the world’s most powerful super-being, who has always been a force for good, but Gabriel Cole, a cop who’s life was saved by Alpha One as a child, has uncovered his hero’s dark plan that will put them on a collision course of an ordinary man versus a super-man. Tomasi and Champagne currently write the DC Comics for\u00a0Batman And Robin, Green Lantern Corps, <\/em>and\u00a0Brightest Day<\/em>. Tomasi has also written the creator-owned comic\u00a0The Light Brigade<\/em>, and Champagne is the author of the creator-owned comic\u00a0Armor-X<\/em>.<\/p>\n
