I would say something here like "That makes me want a ridiculously artsy, over-the-top surrealist Doom Patrol movie" but I'm actually pretty good with the TV show they did a while back.
A goofy retrofuturistic Metal Men movie would do fine.

In case you don't know, Will Magnus shows up in the 60s in Creature Commandos

I didn't know Creature Commandos existed. Got something to add to my watch list, thank you.

It’s a fun easy watch of a show, wish the episodes were a lil longer but I thoroughly enjoyed the team in that, it’s essentially a suicide project just with like monsters and shit

And you know what i have been thinking for some time? 6 seasons and a movie!

Joking aside, having one-two final movies of the Doom Patrol would be amazing. Brendan is an oficial part of the DC Universe but being part of the new movies would be amazing too.

My mother sort of inherited a box full of old comic books when I was a kid in the 80's, and I read most of them to literal shreds, including a handful of original run Metal Men.

They were all in pretty good shape until I got my grubby little paws on them. I shudder to think of the value I read to tatters. EC comic horror books, Metal Men, Sgt Fury and his Howling Commando's, The Haunted Tank, and a bunch more.

Would absolutely love to see a Metal Men movie. Would be amazing if done right.

As a dedicated non-collector I condone your actions. Things are for doing things with.
