James Gunn seems to gravitate towards teams of oddball characters, so I think that The Metal Men are definite candidates for inclusion in his DCU. You could make a Pixar-style animated movie with them or even a live action film with todays special effects. I hope they show up somewhere.

I won't hold my breath waiting for Hollywood to develop the good sense to make such a movie. But, I will cross my fingers that tomorrow we'll see a part 2 to this cover. One featuring Magnus the Robot Fighter fighting _alongside_ the Metal Men. After all, in January, it'll be exactly fourteen years since the one-and-only time you've teamed them up, thus far (way back @ STF #26)!
I'm hoping for a good, classic 2-D animated series! That's what we need! They were already teased in an episode of the Creature Commandos, after all!
Almost 5000 issues and still not one appearance of the Mangog.
@my namesake: maybe he can be the antagonist for the lead story. "MANGOG vs. DOOMSDAY!"
@both Anons: I'd rather see the Hulk and Magnus the Robot Fighter vs. the Super-Adaptoid!
@Carycomic (from AnonA332: maybe that could be one of the five back-up tales.
After seeing the screen version Metamorpho, it shoulr be a LEAD pipe cinch to do the Metal Men.
Or tank like a LEAD balloon.
