And just for the record: I saw it coming.

 Welsh actor Matt Ryan (Tudors, Criminal Minds, Criminal Minds: suspect behavior) should have been casted (like in my imagination- that's the "for the record, I saw it coming) by NBC to cast in the incoming pilot of "Constantine", based on the DC Comics (blonde) character, spotlighted in titles such as Hellblazer, (that run for over 300 issues), and recently relaunched "Constantine" and Justice League Dark. Daniel Cerone (The Mentalist) will write, alongside  David Goyer (Nolan's Batman titles) who's attached  to the project as producer too; Neill Marshall, who workes on several Game of Thrones episodes, is sheduled to direct.
Constantine was the main protagonist of 2005 box office success namesake movie, "Constantine", featuring once again a dark-haired actor, Keanu Reeves, and director Guillermo DelToro (HellBoy I and II, Rise of the Guardians, Mama, Blade II) is rumored to have been working on an incoming Justice League Dark motion picture- which should include, according to the writer/director, characters such as Constantine himself and his love interest, sorceress Zatanna Zatara. It's unclear if, if green-lighted, the movie will be inserted in the same narrative continuity of the series( and in that case, if Ryan will be casted there as well), if it will work as a stand-alone ir if, follwoing dc recently new politics (in reaction to marvel's cross-over movies) the movie will be set in the same universe of the man of Steele motion picture, whose 2016's sequel "Batman/Superman"will feature, besides Superman, also Batman (palyed by Ben Affleck) and Wonder Woman.

" Constantine" in one of the many pilots sheduled for production for and by DC Comics for the next season; "Arrow"'s spin-off "The Flash", centered around young forensic expert Barry Allen, started production this month for the CW, who's rumored to be working on "Hour-Man", alrthogh it's still unclear if the series will work inside the same universe as Arrow or as a separate entity.
"Gotham", instead, by Fox and Bruno Heller (again, "The Mentalist", like Constantine's Cerone), centered around the rookie years of Jim Gordon and Bruce Wayne prior to his Batman days, with former "The OC" Ben McKenzie and Jada Smith from The MAtrix, has already been given a full-series order before the production of the pilot could even begin.
