Steven Spielberg is Martial arts Archivesheaded to the DC universe.

Warner Bros. announced Tuesday that Spielberg has signed on for Blackhawk, an action-adventure movie based on the DC comics.

The press release notes that Spielberg has "an eye to directing" the film, which suggests he's not quite locked in for that role yet. Either way, though, he'll produce with his company Amblin Entertainment.

"I am excited," Spielberg said in a statement.

David Koepp, whose credits include Jurassic Park, Spider-Man, and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, will write the script.

Created in the 1940s, Blackhawk is the leader of a small squadron of ace pilots. The team does battle with Nazis and other assorted tyrants and supervillains.

Blackhawkis one of several projects on Spielberg's to-do list, which also includes a fifth Indiana Jonesmovie and a West Side Storyadaptation.

Then again, this is also the guy who shot and released The Postin less than a year while putting the finishing touches on Ready Player One. Blazing through to-do lists seems to be his superpower.

Besides, Blackhawklooks like it won't be ready for a little while yet. There's no start date or release date. Plus, Warner Bros. already has plenty of other DC projects in the pipeline including a Birds of Preyfilm, which picked up a new director earlier today.
