I think that this is something of a major scoop buried within another article on Deadline about a writer called Aron Coleite getting a feature gig at Fox.

Coleite is a co-exec producer on the Star Trek TV series with Bryan Fuller showrunning and Kurtzman & Orci EP’ing. Coleite got his start in the feature side with his spec The End which sold in a competitive situation to Warners. He then wrote a draft of Twilight Zone at Warners for Joe Kosinski and Appian Way. He also has the DC comic Bodies in development at Hulu with Team Downey producing.

Town Downey is Robert Downey Jnr's production company in case that wasn't clear...,

In reality Downey has had a deal at Warner Bros for years, his wife is a former WB executive, and given that this is a Vertigo property it's not like he's 'jumping ship' from Marvel or anything. Still, interesting all the same.

Bodies is from DC's Vertigo imprint. It's described as...,

VERTIGO brings you the miniseries of the summer, with four detectives, four time periods, and four dead bodies – all set in London. Edmond Hillinghead is an 1890s overachiever who’s trying to solve a murder no one cares about while hiding his own secret. Karl Whiteman is our dashing 1940s adventurer with a shocking past. Shahara Hasan is 2014’s kickass female Detective Sergeant, who walks the line between religion and power. And Maplewood, an amnesiac from post-apocalyptic 2050, brings a haunting perspective to it all.
