Just a quick update on a question somebody had in the comic book thread. Apparently Robert Rodriguez currently holds the rights to the Madman comic book film, though he has at least a couple projects between now and then.
http://www.comics2film.com is a good source of up-to-date info on all superhero-movie projects (and non-superhero comic-related projects, yes). Use the "alpha index" to find "Madman" and the latest word.
