Robbie & Stephen Amell, of Arrow and Flash fame, have filmed their own superpowers based project titled Code 8.
The movie puts us in a what could be called near future that has 4% of the population endowed with powers of some sort. Due to this and the skewed poverty line, the police have militarized, equipping robots and drones to help them keep the peace. The short film is fantastic and definitely worth a look.
