We're now down to only a matter of hours before DC Universe and HBO Max's dysfunctional do-gooders Doom Patrol come storming back (all teeny-tiny) for a second season, and the streaming service is still offering viewers some pretty cool enticements to help set the mood. What follows are some hand-selected preview images from this season's first […]
Doom Patrol fans reading this know that we're down to our "Lucky 13" days. That's the number of days left before the DC Universe and HBO Max's live-action series returns (with three episodes), on Thursday, June 25 (with single episodes releasing for six weeks after that). To get all of us up-to-speed on the first […]
Believe it or not, we are only two weeks away from the return of DC Universe and (now) HBO Max's dysfunctional do-gooders Doom Patrol. That means it's as good a time as any for an official trailer. We already know that Mark Sheppard's (Doctor Who, Supernatural) Willoughby Kipling is set to return, but in the following […]
Fans of DC Universe and now HBO Max's Doom Patrol have less than a month to go before their dysfunctional heroes with a rogues gallery to make Batman's head hurt returns for a second season, and now we have some new key art and intel on what you can expect. Starting with the latter, if […]
When the weirdness settled on the first season of DC Universe's live-action Doom Patrol, we had some important questions answered only to have them lead to even bigger questions. If you've seen the series, then you know what we're talking about. If you haven't then a quick "major spoilers warning" because our heroes find themselves very, […]
The entire first season of Doom Patrol is now up for streaming on DC Universe, I think it's the best superhero show on TV. It's a show that can hold conflicting layers: both heartbreakingly sad and hysterically funny, serious and ridiculous, smartly cerebral and gleefully stupid, all at the same time. Fans of the original Grant […]
Streaming can make for some very strange bedfellows… case in point? DC Universe, who tapped a rather unique "spokesperson" to promote the service: Alan Tudyk's Eric Morden/Mr. Nobody. That's right, Doom Patrol's resident "big bad" fourth-wall breaker is out selling you on the benefits from subscribing to a service that gives you the best in […]
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 […]
I have this cautious optimism about third episodes of new series – especially after a strong two-episode start. By the third episode, shows usually start hitting their stride and season-long story arcs begin to take shape. Sometimes though – more often then we care to admit – the third episde can be a raging dumpster […]
We're two episodes deep into the first season of DC Universe's live-action Doom Patrol series, and we've had some "interesting" stuff thrown our way in a very short period of time. From a farting donkey that's also a gateway to another dimension and a hero with multiple (super-powered) personalities to a fourth-wall-shattering "big bad" in […]
Last week saw the live-action series debut of "The World's Strangest Heroes" with DC Universe's Doom Patrol making an impressive debut in a year set to be filled with dysfunctional superhero teams. In my review of the opener, I explained how I was impressed with the way the pilot for the 15-episode series checked off all the important […]
This week saw the series debut of "The World's Strangest Heroes," with DC Universe's live-action Doom Patrol staking its claim as the most dysfunctional super hero team of 2019. When you consider we have The Boys and The Umbrella Academy this year, too – that's a lofty goal to achieve. With that said, the pilot […]
Doomsday has arrived!!! Got your attention? Great! Except it's not really "doomsday"… which is a good thing. An even better thing? DC Universe's live-action series Doom Patrol begins leaping screens in a single bound starting today, as subscribers to the streaming service can treat themselves to the first of the 15-episode season. But if everything […]
With only one day to go before "The World's Strangest Heroes" Doom Patrol leaps large and small screens in a single bound, DC Universe is giving viewers a special "valentine" in the form of an extended trailer. Let's be clear: even if you've watched everything else that's been released on the series, you will absolutely want to […]
With "The World's Strangest Heroes" ready to leap our screens in a single bound, DC Universe has unveiled the musical maestros tapped to bring the "sounds of strange" to the masses – and there's a very good chance you've heard their work before. Titans composers Clint Mansell (Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan) and Kevin Kiner (Narcos: […]
As 2019's "Dawn of the Dysfunctional Super Team" rolls along and with a week to go before its February 15th premiere, DC Universe is giving us our first in-series look at "The World's Strangest Heroes," with a Doom Patrol teaser that gives us a strong sense of clearly "different" tone to the series. Which is […]
If we needed to assign 2019 a pop culture theme already, "The Dawn of the Dysfunctional Super Team" would definitely be one of them. Next week's bring us Netflix's The Umbrella Academy and Amazon unleashes The Boys this summer…and let's not forget the "World's Strangest Heroes," as Doom Patrol makes its solo series debut on […]
With the "World's Strangest Heroes" set to make their solo series debut on DC Universe on February 15th, the new streaming service is giving each member of this definitely-not-the-Justice-League team their moment in the spotlight–beginning with Brendan Frasier's Robotman, April Bowlby's Elasti-Woman, and Diane Guerrero's Crazy Jane. Here's a look at the first-half of a wholly different super team […]
With one of the more "unique" superhero teams to ever grace the comic book page set to make its debut on ths week's newest episosde of Titans, DC Universe is giving Doom Patrol fans a preview of what they can expect as the group readies for its own live-action spinoff series. At the end of […]
Every great team needs a great leader, and DC Universe's live-action Doom Patrol series has theirs in the form of former 007 and Penny Dreadful star Timothy Dalton, who has been tapped to play Dr. Niles "The Chief" Caulder in the Titans follow-up series from Greg Berlanti and Warner Bros TV. Dalton joins Alan Tudyk (Firefly), who was cast last week in the role of […]
