Source: Hollywood Reporter According to The Hollywood Reporter, THE DOOM PATROL, an idiosyncratic DC Comics superhero team, is heading for the big screen. Warner Bros. Pictures, the parent company of DC, has brought in writer Adam Turner to pen the adaptation, which will be produced by Akiva Goldsman. Created in 1963, THE DOOM PATROL featured a collection of super-powered misfits brought together by a man in a wheelchair, much like another superhero team that debuted in the same year, "The Uncanny X-Men." The similarities proved to be superficial, however, and THE DOOM PATROL developed a cult following, especially during the late 1980s, when writer Grant Morrison introduced elements of surrealism into the series. The main characters include the Chief, a paraplegic genius; Elasti-Girl, who can shrink or grow her body; Negative Man, a man in bandages who could release a silhouette form of himself; and Robotman, a former athlete whose brain resides in a robotic body. |
