What DC Movie Is Barry Sonnenfeld Working On?

Awhile back Barry Sonnenfeld revealed that he was in talks with DC to work on one of their properties.

“You know, I’m talking to Warner Bros. about doing a franchise based on a comic that hasn’t been around since the 60s. But it’s too early to talk about it. But possibly, yes.”

Well, Vulture has found out what it is and the secret is out of the bag.

It’s ‘The Metal Men’! Aka what the fuck DC?!

The Metal Men centers on an artificial-intelligence expert named William Magnus who creates six cyborgs, each made from a distinct chemical element with talents reflecting their places in the periodic table: Gold, their leader, was almost infinitely stretchable; Iron, the strongman; Lead, the simpleton protector; Mercury, the capricious risk-taker who could melt into the tiniest crevices; Platinum, a female cyborg who could flatten herself but who couldn’t believe she wasn’t a real woman.

Do we really need or want a ‘Metal Men’ movie? I can honestly say i’d rather go see an Aquaman movie before this. And I hate Aquaman.
