So here's the plot idea for John Constantine: Hellblazer I had for a week now.

On a random day of the week like every other, at a random mundane time, every child on earth collapses. attempts to wake those children up are fruitless with many remarking on their soullessness. In a panic, the UN held a meeting during which a slimy man named Buer entered, claiming that he was, in fact, a demon and had stolen the soul of every child on earth by the order of his superior (I wonder who that could be?) He gives the world's leaders a dilemma, allow him to keep a certain amount of souls or he'd keep all of them. For unspecified means. They have a week to decide. Every occultist/magician on the planet doesn't want to engage with the situation for reasons. So there's only one man who can help yep, Willoughby Kipling John Constantine. Given his history with souls (and having kid niece) John tries to figure out how Buer even is able to do such a thing of this caliber and stop it. I'd need to iron some things out, it would be a book, and figure out how to give John a satisfying arc without stepping on his in the first film.

I am worried it might be a bit dark though.
Is this not just the Pied Piper?

He should canonically be the Pied Piper. Either him or Dracula.
Holy cow lol. Did not realise that.
This also seems a bit… BIG. Like Batman, Superman, and co. would notice this. There's no way Batman wouldn't try to learn magic if this happened

Yeah … yeah. I mean the original plot was big to with the war and all that but I have a good excuse for it.

They don't want to, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman are all on the alignment of very good, and a situation like that would cause some grey area with demons and the like. It could also be set like before they were active.
