The Reboot Crew is on a job-seeking tour of the only game left in Hollywood: Streaming services! Warner Bros.' golden child JJ Abrams just yanked us back from a parallel universe to tackle one of the longest-simmering, most-hyped superhero reboots in town: SPAWN!  Spawn creator Todd McFarlane is second only to the great Stan Lee when it comes to comic book hucksterism. His indie superhero passion project made good on all the hype throughout the 90s, topping comic book sales charts with millions of copies, launching one of the world's most successful toy companies, wowing critics and audiences with a revolutionary HBO cartoon, and finally hitting the big-screen with a special effects spectacular in 1997. The movie was an unmitigated bomb. Book sales tanked in short order. But the Toddfather is nothing if not persistent. For close to a decade, he's been promising an all-new Spawn movie produced, written and directed by him. He's even attached bonafide mega-stars Jamie Foxx and Jeremy Renner. Spawn's back on the top of the comic book sales charts. And with Bad Robot and the Reboot Crew in the driver's seat...What could possibly go wrong with this reboot? Right? Guys...?
