Jeffrey Dean Morgan has always loved comic book adaptations. Back in 2010, he told MTV why. “I like the genre, and it seems to me that the best characters and the smartest writing is coming from that world,” he said. “I don’t know if it’s just a trend or how long it’s going to last, but it’s obviously been going for a year or longer, and studios have really caught on to it now.” Indeed, the actor need not have been worried about whether the trend will last. Comic book adaptations have been trendy for years now.
