Earlier today, DC revealed another series they’re working for the streaming service. It is the Doom Patrol and it is set for a 2019 release.
This will be a live-action 1-hour series that follows Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl and Crazy Jane, led by The Chief. Not sure if they’ll have Beast Boy be a former member or not. We do know that Cyborg will be involved w/ the team somehow. But the team will be featured in a few of the Titans series to serve as a backdoor pilot of sorts.
So w/ Doom Patrol, this now makes for the 3rd live-action series for the DC Universe streaming service. This joins a live action Titans & Swamp Thing along w/ the animated Young Justice: Outsiders and Harley Quinn.
I’m guessing the pricing and more info for the DCU will be revealed at Comic-Con. Below lies the synopsis of the series so you have an idea of what to expect.
DOOM PATROL
- DOOM PATROL is a re-imagining of one of DC’s most beloved group of outcast Super Heroes: Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl and Crazy Jane, led by modern-day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder (The Chief). The Doom Patrol’s members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities — but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence — and to protect Earth from what they find. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. Picking up after the events of TITANS, DOOM PATROL will find these reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same.
