At a comic book conventions Guillermo Del Toro is a god, both for the goodies he brings and the goodies he announces for the future.

He has also been working on Dark Universe, aka Justice League Dark, a DC Comics team-up film featuring some of the company’s darker heroes: Swamp Thing, the Demon, Deadman, the Spectre and Zatanna.
