8 Superhero Teams We Still Need To See On The Big Screen

2016 is surely a golden year for superhero team movies, with the likes of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, Captain America: Civil War and X-Men: Apocalypse bringing three of the biggest comic book groups to the big screen. Sure, two of those see the heroes fighting each other rather than teaming up against the bad guys, but we’ve still never had it so good before.

Justice League Dark

Let’s start with one that previously almost made it to cinemas.

Thanks to the DC Extended Universe, we are finally about to see the Justice League form on the big screen. So, wouldn’t it be great to have their supernatural sister team join them? Featuring DC’s more occult-based characters like John Constantine, Deadman, Shade, Zatanna and Swamp Thing, Justice League Dark deal with those threats to humanity too otherworldy for the ordinary Justice League.

It’s a premise that would surely make for an awesome movie – and one that nearly happened with Guillermo del Toro writing and directing. However, when the DCEU was dreamt up, the project found itself being retooled and eventually canned.

We can only hope that the movie execs change their minds and that del Toro is lured back sometime soon. Are you listening, Warner Bros.?
