Another DC Comics superheroine could be on her way to primetime.

The CW is looking to adapt "Raven," a half-demon also known as Rachel Roth, into a series. Diego Gutierrez, who most recently served as co-exec VP on "V," is writing and will exec produce.

Project has a script order at the CW through Warner Bros. TV and DC Entertainment.

In DC Comics mythology, Raven -- created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez -- is the daughter of a human and a demon who has empath abilities to read emotions and divine secrets.

Raven, who's able to teleport herself and enter the minds of others, uses her skills to fight crime while trying to keep her dark internal elements in check.

"Raven" reps the latest attempt by the C-Dub to find a suitable comic-themed replacement for "Smallville," which is set to retire at the end of this season.

Gutierrez spent several seasons on "Without a Trace." His other credits include "The Shield," "Kingpin," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Dawson's Creek."

I know I'm way behind on the news, but happened across it today. Always been a fan of Raven (I like the magic-based heroes), but kinda dubious of anything made for the CW... They mention the WW show too, didn't realize that was still in the 'unsigned' stage.

That'd do well. It'd sell to chicks and guys.

Nephilim are not angels.

Nephilim are the product of an angel-human pairing. Or angel-animal pairing for that matter.

More importantly, chicks dig angels--and Nephilim can be bad without being demons.
