According to reports, NBC has greenlit a TV pilot based on the DC Comics character 'John Constantine'.
The character 'John Constantine' debuted in DC Comics' "The Saga Of The Swamp Thing" #37 (June, 1985), created by Alan Moore, Steve Bissette and Jamie Delano, as a working-class magician, occult detective and con man stationed in London, known for his endless cynicism, deadpan snarking, ruthless cunning, and constant chain smoking.
Constantine rarely uses 'magical' spells, unless he has to, especially in combat, relying primarily on his cunning, quick-thinking during fights, vast knowledge of the occult, manipulation of opponents and allies, and an extensive list of contacts.
As a sorcerer, Constantine is armed with the knowledge of many magical spells, rituals, and curses, such as evocation, necromancy, illusions, invisibility and time travel.
His most signature ability is 'synchronicity wave traveling', which is an instinctual supernatural ability for Constantine to make his own luck. This has led John to uncanny luck at games of chance, the ability to avoid and escape harm, meet the right kind of ally to help prevent or stop an apocalyptic event from happening, and reshape the battle he's fighting to his own accord.
