I haven't read it but wasn't Peter David's Fallen Angel a Supergirl pitch that DC rejected? From what I understand it would of had the Linda Danvers version of Supergirl revealed as an angel.  |

Good one!
Fallen Angel was supposed to *be* Supergirl, if I remember right.
I'm not sure it was a rejected pitch PER SE, but I think it was a bunch of ideas that Peter David couldn't use in his Supergirl series because Superirl got cancelled.

Here's a relatively obscure one:  Bill Mumy and Miguel Ferrer pitched this as a successor to DC's Sandman (Earth-2 version), years before Sandman Mystery Theatre. I think the book would have had more impact under the "Sandman" title, rather than disappearing after a single showing as Marvel's Dreamwalker did. But while Gray Morrow would have been terrific on a Sandman comic, I wouldn't have traded SMT for this. |

Apparently Grant Morrison's The Filth was partially a rejected Nick Fury pitch.

Apparently Grant Morrison's The Filth was partially a rejected Nick Fury pitch. Wow. I don't see that working at all. Very glad he made it its own thing - in fact I rate it as possibly his single best piece of work. I suspect that a lot of current or recent comics with existing characters would have worked better as independent projects - Tom King's Mister Miracle comes to mind. |

Of course, that's the exact opposite of the theme of the thread. I've been waiting to pick up a copy of Darwyn Cooke's Minutemen for cheap, and frankly I wish he had told the same stories with a different bunch of characters. |
