    Fox's Lucifer...Based on Vertigo Book?

    I was catching up with Gotham with Fox on Demand and they had an ad for an upcoming series called 'Lucifer'. Is this series based on the DC/Vertigo comic book? If so...Oh Yeah!!

    I watched the leaked pilot a few months ago, it's very, very loosely based on the comic. Like in the comic, Lucifer has abandoned Hell and runs a nightclub in LA, but that's where the similarity mostly ends. After that, it seems to become a show where Lucifer teams up with a police detective to solve crimes. (?!?) If they are going to stray that far away from the original source, I don't know why they bothered licensing this from DC, Lucifer is a public domain character after all.

      Yeah...Looks like I might have to pass on this show then. As much liberty CW takes with Arrow and Flash...they stay true to the character as much as they can. It's sad that other networks can't. That said I still love what Fox has done with Gotham.

        you will not have to go and read any of the Vertigo Comics toget back story on the Fox's Lucifer series much like CW iZombie, the shows are based LOOSELY on the comic book title.
