 Warner Bros. Pictures is giving new life to DC Comics cult favorite Doom Patrol, about a band of superheroes with freakish powers, with Akiva Goldsman producing the bigscreen adaptation through his Warners-based Weed Road Pictures, says Variety.
Studio has hired Adam Turner to pen the screenplay.
News is sure to set off buzz at Comic-Con. Debuting in 1963, Doom Patrol was often compared to Marvel's X-Men. Both comics follow the exploits of a band of super-powered social misfits ostracized by the rest of the world.
As with X-Men, the Doom Patrol is guided by a wheelchair-boundmentor in fighting evil. Characters include Elasti-Girl, Negative Man and Robotman.
Series, created by Bob Haney, Arnold Drake and Bruno Premiani, ceased in 1968 after failing to woo a big aud. DC revived the series several times over the years, however, with more recent incarnations turning Doom Patrol into a much darker, edgier comic than X-Men. |
