Warners forges ‘Metal Men’
Mining for new projects, Warner Bros. Pictures is hoping to strike gold with the robotic superhero team “Metal Men,” setting up the project with producer Lauren Shuler Donner. Eric Champnella has been brought on board to write.
Based on a DC Comics hero created by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru in 1962, “Metal” revolves around a brilliant scientist, William Magnus, and his creations: six highly advanced robots who have powers associated with their respective metals — gold, iron, lead, tin, mercury and platinum. Instead of having to be programd, the Metal Men can think for themselves, which is both their genius and their biggest flaw. - Hollywood Reporter
I’ve never heard of this comic book before, but seems like a cool premise. It’s like a bunch of CP-3O’s with superpowers. I’m not sure if its going to be animated or not, but it just seems better suited as animated.
