I'm so confused about the thought process here. Did someone somewhere get him mixed up with Static Shock?

(I really like the character Jefferson Pierce but seriously)

Yeah. Funnily enough, a live action Static Shock probably would be a better sales pitch and a better show. But ultimately DC doesn't seem to care too much about its IPs so it just does whatever and hopes it sticks.

Static Shock was the show name, the character is just Static!

Isn't Static in some weird place where the rights to his character for adaptation is in some legal limbo where the McDuffie estate, the other Milestone founders, and DC itself all having a say?

Something like that. There's a false rumor that part of Will Smith's SS contract involved Jaden getting to star in a Static film.

A Static Shock show would be great, but given the near super-saturation of Superheroes in both movie and TV, I'm surprised no one has fast tracked a Greatest American Hero reboot. A deconstructed goofy anti-superhero seems like the perfect show right now.

I am surprised that Sam Raimi hasn't tried to get Darkman vs M.A.N.T.I.S. off the ground yet.

It sounds like they're going more for the family dynamic part where probably by the end of the pilot his kids will start manifesting their powers too.

So I'm guessing that the Iron Fist thing is legit then, considering that Jones' post disappeared?

Heavily weighed towards "legit" but as with everything posted on the Internet, keep healthy skepticism. :)

Fox announced just such a reboot last year with exactly the creative team you'd want on the project. I have not seen anything about it since then though.

If you aren't watching Gotham, you're missing the kid who plays Bruce Wayne also playing a doppelganger hobo who has spent more time just staring longingly into the camera like some kind of tiger beat photoshoot than actually saying words.

Every time I want to stop watching this show, they go so off the rails, I can't look away.

Edit: OMG, they're seriously dumping the much younger Poison Ivy actress in a pipe of "fluid" so they can sexy and age her up. This show is like some kind of weirdly amazingly bad 90s comic.
