Is DC Planning A Legion of Superheroes Movie?


Well according to the Latino Review, yes. El Mayimbe latest scoop says that DC is prepping the field for a possible Legion of Superheroes adaptation, and judging by the comments of New Line's President, who said that Shazam is not a Justice League character, therefore not in the same cinematic universe, then I'm assuming that neither will this, since it's set in the 30th and 31st centuries.

"According to sources, Warners is quietly sending out the DC comic book Legion Of Superheroes to screenwriters & their reps for takes. For non-industry folks, what that means is that screenwriters check out the comic book and come up for a movie idea involving the characters from that comic. Those writers then go to the studio to pitch their idea. The studio then hires the screenwriter they feel has the best idea or take for the film." - El Mayimbe

If true, what an odd choice, no? I mean they could have gone with Captain Atom, Doctor Fate, Hawkgirl, Lobo, and others. Did Marvel's shot in the dark with an unknown space property like Guardians of the Galaxy added that much pressure to Warner/DC?

What do you think?


Otto Binder and Al Plastino created the Legion of Super-Heroes as well as creating the three founding members for the team. Binder wrote the story and Plastino drew the art for Adventure Comics #247 in 1958. Like many of Superboy's stories in Adventure Comics, this issue was meant to be a one-shot story and the Legion's only appearance. This issue was so popular that DC published a second Legion story in Adventure Comics #267 in 1959, which was also a success with fans. The Legion of Super-Heroes eventually became a regular feature in Action Comics, Adventure Comics and Superboy, which led to the Legion being published in their own book.
