Comic Movie News! Doom Patrol & Deadman

Wow. Doom Patrol & Deadman as movies. Deadman I've already said has the potential to be a soild movie, maybe even a franchise. But A Doom Patrol Movie? I'm just not quite sure how that would work. The whiny, emo original team? The toad-licking surrealisim of the Morrison era? A dark comedy? Did they just look at the DC team catalog and pick the longest running team that didn't have it's whole roster locked up in other deals. At least Akiva Goldsman is producing and not writing, but the scribe, Adam Turner's, 3 credited works have a combined 48 minutes running time, so he doesn't exactly inspire confidence.
