Not entirely sure it’s gonna’ be good, but this trailer has me all optimistic. Love me some Doom Patrol.

The Doom Patrol vol 1 TPB is on amazon prime right now, so i figured I would read it, even if I'm not all that into Grant Morrison. Is this basically like Watchmen? Are these all new characters, or is it like a suicide squad type thing? How would you sell Doom Patrol to a Marvel comic book fan, completely unfamiliar with the lore? But who loves superhero team storylines.
The Doom Patrol have been around since the mid 60's (funnily enough, they debuted around the same time as the X-men, whom they're usually compared to). Robotman, Elastic Woman and Negative Man were the original 3 then added Beast Boy (who'd later join the Teen Titans). Crazy Jane is from Morrison's run and each of her personalities has a different ability. This adaptation now adds Cyborg (who is normally a Titans/Justice League character) into the roster.The Doom Patrol vol 1 TPB is on amazon prime right now, so i figured I would read it, even if I'm not all that into Grant Morrison.

Yea I like X-men, but I could do without the million love arcs.If you like superhero teams I think you'll definitely get a kick out of it. Morrison's run was good, but definitely no where near what Watchmen delivers. I think if you're a fan of X-Men, specifically Joss Whedon's "Astonishing" run, then you'll enjoy it.
Hmm. I didn't know that. Crazy Jane reminds me of Moon Knight. I'm surprised they're adding Cyborg... since for the longest time the CW DCTV universe was banned from introducing characters WB had plans for including in their movies. Then again, I've seen better animated DC movies these days than actual cinematic movies.The Doom Patrol have been around since the mid 60's (funnily enough, they debuted around the same time as the X-men, whom they're usually compared to).

I'm assuming it's because he's the closest thing to Iron Man DC has. Also with mo-cap suits it's probably cheaper to do his CGI (prosthetics in this case).. where as John Stewart GL, would be more expensive to do. I don't really know what i'm talking about...Robotman looks fucking cool in the thumbnail and I'm gonna watch this trailer later. What I wanna know is why the hell DC feels the urge to stick Cyborg in everything. I like Cyborg but I'd rather they save him for a good Teen Titans adaptation than treat him like a glorified diversity hire.

And what if Doomguy from Doom was their leader guy? And they fought the Legion of Doom. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.What if they patrolled Mount Doom? That thing from that other media property? And they're a patrol. Haha.
It at least looks better than Titans.
