The treatment is said to be a mix of a few different genres. Take a splash of Raiders of the Lost Ark, mix it with a bit of Clash of the Titans, and a bit of a Da Vinci Code prequel, and you have an idea of where they want to take it. The film will follow Da Vinci as a member or a secret society that pits him against all kinds of monsters and puzzles.
This pickup comes as Warner Bros. is trying to do more period action pieces, and hope to capitalize on them like they did with Sherlock Holmes. The studio has other period pieces like this in the works including a Sherlock Holmes sequel, a Marco Polo film, and a new King Arthur project.
I find Leonardo da Vinci to be one of the most fascinating people to have ever lived, and I would much rather see something on his real life exploits than an over the top action film. Although, I feel I would probably be in the minority on this one.

I agree, such an important and influencial historical genius should not be watered down and made into a cheap Marvel Comic action hero / fantasy figure.
Rather make a dramatized movie of his astonishing real life, paintings and amazing inventions.
