As we first said in January 2020, Bad Robot and Warner are developing the dark Justice League universe for films and TV. Justice League Dark (or JLD team) first appeared in the September 2011 issue of Justice League Dark # 1 featuring superheroes, mostly occultists and eccentrics, like John Constantine, the mystic and diviner Madame Xanadu, Deadman, Shade, the Changing Man, and Zatanna. The list is much longer, and members joined later, with Swamp Thing being added in issue 19. Given their powers, they typically dealt with situations outside the scope of the traditional Justice League, which includes Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Aquaman and Flash. Shadow and Act had news from Coates.
