It wouldnt work in a movie. Maybe a 4-season series, but a movie? No way. Too much stuff going on, and if they cram it in, it will look rushed with no acting and no story, just non-stop action.
I have a hypothesis that superhero groups dont seem to be as good in the movies (X-Men, Fantastic 4) for this reason. It works in the books because you have many, many pages to develop characters ad infinitum. In the movies, you have 120-180 minutes to fully develop and tell compelling stories involving a ton of characters. Can't be done, at least not well. A lead or two with a few supporting cast members can work, but anything more than that and it has to be on TV.
