The Demon

I would like that. 

My introduction to him was in The Batman Family comics BITD. 

I've always associated him w/ Batman yet he's his own hero.

But I really enjoy when Batman and Jason Blood show connection.

Various animated episodes highlighted their bond. 

I'm trying to think whom amongst the Gunn announcements are mystic-based. 

Etrican would be nice to see downn the line. I just dont know if too much comedy would ruin the portrayal.

I feel a touch of comedy makes the character more feasible, honestly. If it's just a grim "guy turns into a demon due to a curse" thing- there's many things like that. But Kirby's Demon (and Alan Moore continued in that vein), was frequently written with a degree of wit, Etrigan himself being a grinning, sardonic kind of entity. I love those Seventies comics by Jack Kirby.

I’m sure the way directors like to add some laughs to the comic book movies, it would definitely make it a worthwhile to see IMO. Hope it happens soon
