Constantine is one of DC's most iconic comics, and one of the few to make it to the big screen. The story is now in its second airing on the small screen, and already the executive producer is thinking about the future and what it could entail.
According to David S. Goyer, there is a possibility the character Swamp Thing could appear in the show. However, this is something that would take time, so fans should not expect to see Swamp Thing in the first season.
Goyer explained that bringing Swamp Thing to TV would be expensive, and the team is not interested in short-changing the character. Basically, there's no point in bringing Swamp Thing if the budget available right now is not capable of bringing the character to life in a way that is believable.
Apparently, it would cost around $10 million to design Swamp Thing for TV, so unless Constantine turns out to be a massive hit in the future, chances are fans will have to accept reality and move on.
In our eyes, it would be better for DC and Warner Bros. to bring Swamp Thing to the big screen. There's more room to do the character justice, and there wouldn't be any need to hold back on what makes the character special.
For those who have no idea of who or what Swamp Thing is, let us break it down in just a few words.
Swamp Thing comics came before Constantine. In fact, Constantine first showed up within a Swamp Thing comic. The character should be seen as a humanoid plant that is all about protecting his swamp from terrorists and folks who might want to do it harm.
The creature came about after the death of scientist Alec Holland. For some odd reason, the Swamp Thing was born, and it possesses the memories of Holland. In many ways, it wants to become Holland, and there are several identity issues.
We have to say, the comics are great to read, and up to this day the Swamp Thing is one of DC's most consistent comics. For this very reason alone, Swamp Thing needs to be on film or on TV.
