It's pretty safe to say that DC Universe's live-action Doom Patrol series is not your typical "superhero show" – it makes ABC's Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D look like the 60's Batman television series A fourth-wall-breaking "big bad," a farting donkey and a Spanish priest's stigmata wounds as portals to other places, and an "homage" to[...]

Now that DC Universe's live-action Titans series has found its "Boy of Steel" in Joshua Orpin (The Blake Mysteries: Ghost Stories), the sophomore season's Conner Kent aka Superboy is taking to social media to put posers and fakes on notice Or to paraphrase the great teachings of Digital Undergound prophet Greg "Shock G" Jacobs aka Humpty Hump:[...]
