We're going to see one of my more beloved characters, the Beard Hunter." Doom Patrol 2 trailer: When will it land? We're going to see some other characters over the years, such as Danny the Street. We dip into the Silver Age where we are seeing the Celsius and Lodestone characters. "A great jumping-off point is the Grant Morrison run in the '90s. "This show is dipping into different versions of the Doom Patrol from the years," Carver said. Whether the team ends up facing off against Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man (who looks exactly as he sounds) or Monsieur Mallah, an evil French militant revolutionary homosexual gorilla who’s in love with a disembodied brain in a jar, that remains to be seen.Ĭarver’s respect for Grant Morrison’s run on the comic is a good sign, mainly because it was certifiably insane and included a sentient street as one of the team’s friends, as well as a Punisher knock-off named ‘The Beard Hunter’ who, well, killed people with beards. The first season has the kind of odd tone fans of Legion and Umbrella Academy will recognise, but the source material goes to infinitely stranger places. It’s hard to speculate but what’s certain is that season two will be WEIRD. Season two goes before the cameras in June, but what will it involve? We’re glad you asked! Doom Patrol 2 air date: When will it be on?

DC Universe has commissioned a second season before season one’s even finished airing. It was a bold campaign, containing more than enough to attract our attention. 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.Īccording to showrunner Jeremy Carver, "It's a show about a group of reluctant heroes who are content living in isolation, until they’re called upon to rescue a world that has long shunned them.”Ĭool posters followed, along with intriguing teaser videos. 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. 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. The Doom Patrol's members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities - but also left them scarred and disfigured. The announcement came with a synopsis that’s actually a pretty solid guide to the show.
