Who's who in Guillermo Del Toro's Justice League Dark?

One bit of specific info was revealed. Del Toro, fascinated from an early age with the likes of Etrigan and Swamp Thing, makes John Constantine the chief character. Without losing their standalone quality, all the other characters are drown in the intricate plot.

The plot is not typically linear, such as it is a story based on the completion of a mission. On the contrary, it's quite meandering, with a focus on revealing key details about each of gloomy A-listers of Justice League Dark. In a way, each one has their own mission, e.g. to solve mysteries from their past. Eventually, to come to peace with themselves, if this notions makes any sense at all in the Dark Universe. And it does, actually.

Still waiting for Warner Bros. reaction

Nothing can be anticipated. The only remaining certainty is even if the studio approves of the script, years will pass until Guillermo Del Toro's Justice League Dark will make it to the big screens.
