Doom Patrol is a re-imagining of DC’s beloved group of outcast superheroes: Robotman (Brendan Fraser) Negative Man (Matthew Bomer), Elasti-Woman (April Bowlby), and Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero), led by modern-day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder (Timothy Dalton). The Doom Patrol’s members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities — but also left them scarred and disfigured.

One thought on “Free preview of DC’s ‘Doom Patrol’ first episode now available

  • “Doom Patrol” was after my time (comic book wise) so I wasn’t up on the story details or the characters. But I did watch the free 1st episode preview on the big YouTube screen at home and I liked the show. Might have to break down and subscribe to DC Universe.
