Yes, it's true, Jack Knight may soon be a TV star. Read below.
Starman On The TV
Screen!

The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that the ABC television network
has given a script commitment to Starman, which they describe as "a
drama based on the comics that will center on a 25-year-old former
slacker who is forced to become a superhero after his brother, the
former Starman, is mysteriously killed."
Starman, which was popularized by James Robinson and Tony Harris in
the 1994-2001 comic, is the next project to come from Tollin-Robbins
Productions, the "brains" behind Smallville and Birds of Prey. John
Gatins ("Hardball") is writing the script, and Tollin-Robbins' Joe
Davola, Brian Robbins, and Mike Tollin will be executive producing.
While there was a movie and a well-liked television series bearing
the name, this is the first time a live-action series has been made
incorporating the character.
Sounds cool! For those unaware, the Smallville tv show (focusing on
Superman as a young boy) has been doing quite well for the WB (and is a
very well done show). The Birds of Prey show (focusing on the
illegitimate daughter of Batman and Catwoman, who has teamed up with the
former Batgirl, now paralyzed and called Oracle) has also been doing
well, and I've heard good things (although I have yet to see an
episode). If the Starman show is as good as those, it should be quite
cool.
