Blüdhaven is a series that tells the story of Blüdhaven, the most deadliest and destructive city in the United States, a neighboring city of Gotham, and one of the most lethal cities. Blüdhaven is a city where dreams never comes true, a city where once you step foot in you never leaves, you're trapped in it's darkness forever. It is a city that is rumored to house the portal of Hell, the very thin lines between our dimensions. Elias Powers (Chris Evans) is an ordinary rookie police officer that is suddenly thrown into a life of darkness and crime once he gets caught up in the corrupt police forces of Blüdhaven. With dreams to clean the streets of the city, Elias finds all the odds against him in this fight to rise above the darkness of Blüdhaven.

It's been four years since that day he left Gotham City and now, Elias finds himself in Blüdhaven. Starting his new life there hoping to leave his past in the past, Elias starts his job as a police officer on the force where he takes on takes on several disturbing cases that soon leads him down a road he's not sure he's ready to take. Finding a partner in the psychic detective, Zachary Zatara (Ian Somerhaulder), Elias soon learns there is more behind the history of Blüdhaven and the great tragedy that once befallen the city.

The Cast

[/u][/center]

Elias Powers as Chris Evans

His whole life he had been in the shadow of his father, a very insane and psychological serial killer. Elias is a man that pushes himself entirely and always is too hard on himself. Sweet, kind yet not a push over, Elias Powers depends only on himself and works now to clean the streets of Blüdhaven up. Not only does he have to worry about being one of the only few good men on the force but also he must rise above the fact that he's gay, in a new place and not be corrupted. Or like his father was it born into him? What will he do when his past catches up to him?

Richard Grayson as Shia Labeouf

A resident of Blüdhaven, Richard lost his parents only a few months ago. With no one to watch out for him he soon only had the streets of Blüdhaven as his shelter and the little boy that once loved the circus was soon lost in the pain and angst. Richard took it upon himself to avenge his parents. Though when he's given a more meaningful destiny would he be over to overcome that vengence that fuels him? Can he just let it go or will it consume and corrupt him like everything else in Blüdhaven?

Catalina Flores aka Tarantula as Jessica Stroup

A wild child, street smart and rebellious teenager. Catalina is a girl that you wouldn't want to get up with. With a life in drugs, sex and anything else. Catalina is a fighter, she rises above the odds though she rarely does the right thing. Aggressive and with no respect for authority, it is no shock that she's Roland most special and loved of his gang. Though Catalina finds it all threatened when she grows an interest in the enemy, Dick Grayson.

Ronald Desmond as Julian McMahon

Ronald Desmond code name Blockbuster, is a man that only wants control and power. Intelligent and powerful with a strength-enhancing steroid that increases his strength but a side effect of this is that he is losing his intelligence. Working to gain control of all of Blüdhaven's criminal operations, Ronald is only a step away from gaining control of all Blüdhaven and it's police forces. With the Titans rising to put a stop to him, Ronald is willing to do anything to regain his intelligence...though at what risk?

The Episodes

1x01 - Prey

[Jack Malone]

Okay, I'm really starting to like this. Like, really, really, really like this. Although there are a few problems that I will list down to be more clear and precise on them:

1) Milo Ventimiglia is already on another show "X-Men: Legends" so you will definately have to find a new actor.
2) Yes, Bludhaven is neighboured to Gotham City, but please don't mention it with this series unless we plan on crossing over the shows, which I highly doubt.
3) I think someone is using Chace Crawford so you may have to change him; and I don't think he's that much of a serious actor to be casting such an angry character like Dick Grayson. So please change him too.
4) I think you should add more characters; if not, do full bio's on these other characters as I'm not really going "WOW they sound interesting" about them right now. They seem sort of 2D Dimensional without the bio's so please do that. Seeing as everything has their little hole in the wall like Chloe has Watchtower, Clark has the Daily Planet, you should probably have a strong supporting cast from the Police Department possibly, and develop a supporting cast of criminals that Julian McMahon's character controls. XD

BTW I hope you're not trying to make Julian McMahon's character the cause of Dick Grayson's death, as I believe the man who killed his parents was Danny Zucco.

[Jack Malone]

Just had to add as well. I think to make this edgier, please skip on Dick becoming Robin; and possibly elevate him more towards becoming Nightwing. I think that would be more appealing, rather than a series with Robin in it, who I know, most of us Network Executives don't like. Also, I've done my research on the palce, and I think the only two heroes you should have on the show should be Nightwing and Tarantula - but seeing as I don't know about that second one, he'd be a great example of a character you should slowly build up an origin for as the series progresses. Just because the mythos must be appreaciated, doesn't mean you can't run with it, and make it your own. So please add him as a main character. And ... another thing. I've read the city is economically struggling. So I expect it to be rather run down, disgusting -- or your series will show us the economy failing in the city - turning it horrible.

Brandan I love it
U already know what i think about it

[brandanfeguson]

Thanks for the comments Jack, i totally agree. I do feel as if it's lacking and doesn't seem to have the same awesome feels as the other characters before the revamp but i haven't done the characters or episodes yet. Hmm well Elias's father is in Arkham Asylum and the mid season finales would be about his escape to Bludhaven? Would the mentioning the city refer to that as well?

And I'm fine with us doing a cross over now and then if you want too. I agree on the Chace, i just thought his look from the Covenant suited him though i think I'll go back to Shia. Ah damn sorry didn't noticed that will change Milo right away. Yeah there will be quite a few supporting casts that Karl and I were going over last night. Hopefully once we get it all down it'll be better and more filling. Nopers Roland didn't commit the murder himself.

I was totally thinking the same about Dick, since Robin seem kinda childish and Dick isn't exactly like his comic self but he's similiar in ways. Yeah the mythos would be there but it would be a retelling of it's history and the characters that surrounding it kinda like Smallville in it's early years. Thankies Karl.

Okay, its been a while since I gave a thorough read on the VS' right now since my life is a little hectic but lets continue with this shall we?

I really like the element of the series you have going on. It's something used but made into anew in my eyes. I like the cast, its not too unreasonable or out there like some are. I like that you used Julian McMahon because he is such an amazing actor who is extremely versatile and giving him that type of role and personality is just his pitch so you smashed through the glass with casting, same could be said with Jessica Stroup and Chris Evans, great characters. I'm a bit iffy with Shia Labeouf. Although, it is your decision whether or not to keep him but I have a few suggestions.

Devon Bostick seems like the perfect actor who would fit the role.

For me the series poses some darkening plotlines but its how you present it that really determines if it gets picked up. I would love to see an episode guide to see exactly where you are going with this because some great pitches are always destroyed by the season summary. I shall comment once again when its up sweetness <3
