Metal Men on the big screen?

The Hollywood Reporter reports that Warner Bros. is setting up a Metal Men movie with producer Lauren Schuler Donner.

The wacky robot group isn’t exactly DC Comics’ best-known team - though Metal Men creator/mad scientist Will Magnus is a key character in the ongoing “52” series. I can see the Metal Men more as a Saturday morning cartoon than a feature film. But DC scribe Geoff Johns helped develop the take and will executive produce, the Hollywood Reporter says, so that’s a good sign. And Donner is no stranger to bringing comics to film.
