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.

Often seen as DC’s answer to the X-Men (although they are actually slightly older), Doom Patrol similarly consists of a misfit bunch of heroes who consider their abilities more of a curse than a gift.

For instance, one of the longest-running members of the team is Robotman. Once a professional daredevil, he had his brain removed and placed in a mechanical body after he was caught in a racing car accident. The result leaves him invulnerable and super strong… but also prone to depression and existential angst.

Despite the title, Doom Patrol wouldn’t be as grim as something like Batman V Superman, as the series also embraces the wackiness of the superhero genre. Instead, there is the potential to make a really interesting and original movie out of the team, as it could look at the emotional turmoil that suddenly getting superpowers could bring to a person.
