This past weekend was the DC in D.C. event which had DC Entertainment bringing actors, writers, and artists to Washington, DC for signings and panels. Kicking off the day was the “Art of the Matter” panel which featured Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Geoff Johns, Salim Akil, Cress Williams, Candice Patton, and Danielle Panabaker.

During the question and answer portion, one individual stated that Hitman was his favorite character and wondered if the character of Tommy Monaghan was coming to television?

Johns said he’s been asked this before and he gave a vague answer but here he gave something a little different, saying it is something “they’re talking about.”

.@geoffjohns says there's a chance of a Hitman TV show. They're talking about it. #DCinDC #DCinDC2018

Hitman is about Tommy Monaghan, an ex-Marine Gulf War veteran who is a contract killer. When he is attacked he his metagene is triggered granting him x-ray vision and some telepathy.

The character was created by Garth Ennis and John McCrea and debuted in The Demon Annual #2. He was first published as a comic series that ran 60 issues, with one annual, and one event tie-in.
