Having really enjoyed the Titans series that wraps up its first season today on the DC Universe streaming service, I’m even more pumped for the three other live-action projects in the work with Stargirl, Swamp Things, and Doom Patrol. The Doom Patrol group got some attention during the Titans run with an episode focused on them which got things jazzed enough to move forward with a series of its own. Some recasting went into it, which included bringing in Timothy Dalton as the Chief, and now we have a first cute teaser that shows us everyone in their costumes – including Cyborg. We also get some amusing character posters and a February 15th, 2019 premiere date for the run.
The cast includes Timothy Dalton as Niles Caulder, Jake Michaels as Robotman, Dwain Murphy as Negative Man, Diane Guerrero as Crazy Lane, Brendan Fraser as Robotman, and April Bowlby is playing Elasti-Girl. Alan Tudyk is playing the first season villain of Mr. Nobody.

Plot Concept: 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.
