Just a thought, but would a movie work that was the equivalent of The Avengers but using anti-heroes and alternative fringe heroes - I'm thinking a movie with 5 - 7 anti-heroes who have to group together to save the city/the world - e.g. could a Big Daddy + Punisher movie work?
Mystery Men?

Mystery Men?
I was thinking Mystery Men, but are they really anti-heroes, which I think Judgeblake is referring to, well going by his examples?
Mind just watch Mystery Men anyway as its a bloomin' great film.
Isn't that the premise of Mark Millar's Supercrooks? It's already in production as a film and will be well-timed as a counterpoint to Avengers, proving yet again that even with several years' head start over a Scottish snake oil salesman in Secret Six - a super-powered mercenary team with a roster of recognizable villains (one of whom was in that Batman film which just came out) and several books' worth of critically-acclaimed stories on shelves as well as being owned by an actual film company who make films - DC can't find its arse with two hands and a map right now.
See also: Suicide Squad. Which is several decades old and arguably should have spawned something in the way of an adaptation by now.
The Thunderbolts?
And Mystery Men is an ace film.

An equivalent, using British characters, could work.
