Tom Cruise in a Comic book movie?

I saw this article at The Hollywood Reporter, apparently Tom Cruise has an interest in a comic book movie based on a DC/Wildstorm comic called "Sleeper". Here is a small part of the article:

As Tom Cruise goes about writing the next chapter in his career, he's developing an interest in comic book movies.

Together with Sam Raimi, he is setting up "Sleeper" at Warner Bros. Cruise is loosely attached to star in the adaptation of the DC Comics/Wildstorm comic that Raimi would produce with his Star Road Entertainment partner Josh Donen.

Written by Ed Brubaker with art by Sean Phillips, "Sleeper," which ran from 2003-05, centers on an operative whose fusion with an alien artifact makes him impervious to pain and allows him to pass it on to others through skin contact. He is placed undercover in a villainous organization by an intelligence agency and falls for a member of the group, named Miss Misery.

Tom Cruise is a capable actor and has done a lot of different roles, but a super hero? I am not sure about this, I guess he could pull it off because "Sleeper" doesn't seem like a typical super hero kind of movie, it just seems like maybe he is getting desperate. What do you think about the prospect of a Tom Cruise comic book movie?
