The DC Universe service is doing quite the push on the Doom Patrol series this week with several character promos and now a new full 2 1/2 minute promo for it. The fifteen episode series wrapped up a few weeks ago to critical acclaim and we’re hoping for a second season. In the meantime, we definitely recommend folks try out the service and binge the hell out of this series (and check out Swamp Thing too).
The cast includes Timothy Dalton as Niles Caulder, Jake Michaels as Robotman, Matt Bomer as Negative Man, Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane, Brendan Fraser as Robotman, and April Bowlby is playing Elasti-Woman. 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.
