Heat Vision has reported that Warner Bros. is looking for someone to possibly helm a Sandman television series.  Neil Gaiman’s beloved title, which brought a whole other demographic of readers to comic books, also inspired the launch of DC‘s Vertigo offshoot.  75 issues of the surreal series have been released since 1989, concentrating on the character Dream (Morpheus) and his six siblings the Endless (beings older and more powerful than gods).  Eric Kripke (creator of ‘The CW‘s ‘Supernatural‘) is rumored to be at the top of the studio’s list.  OK.  You will have a heck of a lot of angry fans if you dumb down and glam up something of this magnitude, guys.  Tread very, verrrrrry carefully.  Gaiman has also written Neverwhere, Mirrormask, Stardust, and most recently in mainstream comics, Whatever happened to the Caped Crusader? (which directly followed Batman: RIP).—ExSleepyInk
