What movie and television projects has Grant Morrison been in?

Grant Morrison is primarily known as a comic book writer, not an actor or director. He's written comics that have been adapted into films and television, but he hasn't had any direct acting or filmmaking roles.

Here are some of the adaptations of his comic book work:

* Batman Begins (2005) - Morrison's "Batman" run heavily influenced the film's portrayal of Batman's origin story, especially the "No Killing" rule.

* The Dark Knight (2008) - The Joker's characterization and "Why so serious?" line were inspired by Morrison's "Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth" graphic novel.

* Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) - The film borrowed elements from Morrison's "Batman" and "JLA" runs, like Lex Luthor's obsession with Superman.

* Justice League (2017) - The film features characters and storylines from Morrison's "JLA" run, including the inclusion of the Flashpoint paradox.

* Doom Patrol (TV series, 2019-present) - Morrison's run on "Doom Patrol" heavily influenced the series, including the character designs and storylines.

* The New Mutants (2020) - The film features the "Demon Bear" storyline, originally written by Morrison in "New Mutants" #98.

He has also written or co-written screenplays for some films, including:

* The Invisibles (2000) - A film adaptation of Morrison's comic book series, but it was never completed.

* Ararat (2002) - Morrison co-wrote the screenplay for this historical drama, although it's not based on any of his comics.

* The Batman (2022) - Morrison is credited as a writer on the film, though his exact contributions are unclear.

While Morrison hasn't appeared on screen himself, he has been involved in the behind-the-scenes development of various film and television projects, particularly those related to his comic book works.
