DC’s Metal Men Movie is Still In Development Confirms Director ScreenRant

"You know, it’s funny because I am developing Metal Men with Warner Bros. We’re actively working on a treatment for that. For me, it’s not so much a superhero thing as it is world-building. If you look at the work I’ve done, whether it’s The Addams Family, Men in Black, Pushing Daisies, Schmigadoon!, or A Series of Unfortunate Events, it’s all about creating a world. An unusual, slightly off-kilter quirky, different kind of world; that’s what I love doing. It’s not specifically, necessarily superhero, but even in Metal Men, that I am developing, it’s going to be a very specific kind of world. It’s a real-world because I always like things to be reality-based, but slightly with a tilt to that. It all started with The Addams Family which is both real but slightly pushed."

I've never understood why DC and Warner didn't push this as an animated series back in the 80's and 90's, when you had your Thundercats, G-Force, Silverhawks, Power Rangers... I mean a team of humanoid robots, each with a different set of "powers" and skills and personalities. Plus they can combine to form a giant robot... money in the bank.
