No, because Warner Bros. owns Crusade.

Thing is, of course, there's zip that I can *do* that would achieve that
result. I can stand outside WB and hold my breath until I turn blue, but
that's about it. If a network were to come to them and ask for it, that's one
thing...but the studio owns Crusade, and without a compelling marketplace and
an interested buyer, there's nothing they can or will do in the matter.

(Which goes to the note some people post asking why I don't write in this area
anymore, do I not care about it. Yeah, of course I do, but WB owns it, and if
I went otf and started writing stories in that universe I'd be infringing their
ownership.)

Which, actually, is not that different from the real thing....
