Deadline.com has the scoop that Paramount Pictures has acquired the film rights to the creator-owned DC Comics title The Mighty.

The Mighty was a 12-issue limited series that was published through DC from 2009-2010. The title was co-created and co-written by Peter Tomasi & Keith Champagne, and featured artwork by Peter Snejberg.
