From Newsarama:
 
 Master of Horror set to bring you the girl of your dreams. John
Carpenter is onboard to direct Darkchylde, based on the comic by Randy
Queen about a good hearted southern teen cursed to become the creatures
from her many recurring nightmares. Every time Ariel Chylde transforms,
she sheds her skin and a new nightmare emerges from her Id to act out
her deepest, darkest impulses.

John Carpenter and Sandy King's Storm King Productions have allied with
Randy and Sarah Queen's Darkchylde Ent. to produce the film, following
the release of test footage created by Richard Taylor's Academy Award
Winning Weta Workshop. (The Lord of the Rings, Avatar, King Kong, The
Hobbit)
John Carpenter says, "Randy Queen's hijacked angel, Ariel Chylde,
is the best young female character since Laurie Strode in Halloween.
Bringing Ariel and her dark mysteries to life should be quite an
adventure for us all."

Adds Queen, "I'm beyond thrilled that John Carpenter, one of our most
important, and legendary genre directors, and the man responsible for
such landmark films as THE THING, and HALLOWEEN has come onboard with
Weta Workshop to help bring the nightmarish tale of Ariel Chylde to the
silver screen. As a horror fan, the thought of Carpenter and Weta
together, beautiful dreamscapes, and multiple transformations, makes me
incredibly excited. There is a reason nearly his entire catalogue
has, or is being remade, and it's because Carpenter is a genius."

Offering a stark contrast to super hero comics, Darkchylde was a
breakout sensation of the late 90's and early 2000's, garnering
immediate acclaim, and an unusually large female fanbase. The property
went on to outsell Spider-Man, Superman, and Batman in both domestic
and foreign audiences, and has been realized in toys, trading cards,
apparel, lunch boxes, mini busts, and more recently a hit crossover
with Top Cow, and a statue from PopCultureShockToys. Fans can now read
the Ariel Chylde saga online via Wowio and Darkchylde.com and a trade
paperback collecting the "Legacy" and "Redemption" series of books
ships in January from Image Comics.

John Carpenter is an acclaimed director, screenwriter, producer, and
composer, who won an academy award for his short film while still just
a student at USC. His storied career includes such seminal films as
Halloween, The Thing, Escape from New York, Starman, Christine, In the
Mouth of Madness, Assault on Precinct 13, They Live, and The Fog. His
most recent outing, The Ward, starring Amber Heard as an
institutionalized woman tormented by a sinister spirit, premiered at
the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

@dondasch:  Seeing as how DC is Killing Marvel in the Animation Dept, I don't see them quitting any time soon.

I am going to be an odd ball and go with the following:
 
Batman: Richard Grayson
Supergirl: Kara Zor-El
Troia: Donna Troy
 
Jesse Quick
Green Lantern: Kyle Rayner
Captain Marvel: Freddy Freeman
 
Firestorm
Dr Light
Zatanna
 
Martian Manhunter
Red Tornado
Green Arrow: Connor Hawke (restored to normal)
 
Just a note, I actually like what Robinson has done to the trinity.  Mon-El was a good fit for Superman but of course, Kara fills Clark's shoes just as well.

I'm personally torn as I like Kyle and Natu but I'm still not pleased with how Kyle & Jade ended.  Jade broke Kyle's heart when she cheated on him and then she tried to make it out to be Kyle's fault that he stayed in space so long.
 
I always hoped that they guy Jade was dating would turn out to be Brainwave Jr (as he was obsessed with her) and one could say he influenced her.    Ah well, we'll see how things turn out as Jade giving up so soon just doesn't seem right.

@vuviper:  In case no one ever answered the question, the artists name is Chasen Grieshop.  He freely admits to learning to draw from Fathom issues.  He visits various comicons throughout the US (I usually catch him at Wizard World Chicago).
