In the comic books, circus trapeze artist Boston Brand is “resurrected” as a ghost by a Hindu goddess so that he can seek revenge on his murderer as well as protect the innocent.

Guillermo del Toro is on board to produce the picture with Don Murphy and Murphy’s partner Susan Montford also producing the DC Comics adaptation.
