<b>Titans</b>, a live-action tv series produced by DC universe, a new streaming streamer owned by DC, premiered last fall and released its second title, Doom Patrol, their best original series to date.
This distinctive team of superheroes first appeared in Titans, but this brand new series has little to do with Titans other than retaining some key characters and actors. The series producers created a whole new tone through Doom Patrol, using the most bizarre elements of DC Comics to finally complete this strange, exaggerated but super interesting piece.
The Robot Demon (Brandon Fisher), the Negative Man (Matt Pommer), the Bouncy Girl (Apple Bower) in Doom Patrol have all appeared in Titan, and Timothy Dalton, who once played James Bond, played Professor Niles Calder.
The first episode of the series identifies the season's main villain, "Mr. Nameless", played by Alan Tudek, who wants to take revenge on Professor Calder and his Doom Patrol. At the same time, the story also tells the origin story of the machine demon, the negative and the elastic girl.
In addition, we learn about the new members of the Doom Patrol, with 64 independent personalities, each with a different personality crazy Jane (Diane Coriano).
After Mr. Nameless attacks the Doom Patrol, kidnaps Professor Calder, and destroys a small town in Ohio, Victor Stone, a superhero known to fans as Steel Bone (Jowane Wade), joins the team to help the other members save Calder and organize Mr. Nameless's crazy plan.
In the process, a new member is added to the team, the supernatural detective Willoughby Kipling, played by max Sheppard, who works with others to stop the plot of the "Unscripted Bookfathers" to destroy The Earth.

The episode of "Titans" about Doom Patrol is the highlight of the entire series, and the independent series of "Doom Patrol" itself is also the best achievement in the DC Superhero Universe streaming. The producers wisely chose to eschew any connection to Titans, instead creating its own tone to conform to these offbeat characters in the original comics, while also satisfying the popular demand for "superhero TV series."
In fact, the show is very diverse, unlike the Deadpool movies, although Mr. Nameless in the show often breaks the fourth wall and realizes that he is in a TV series, which is exactly the same as the original comic book. The result of this operation is to create a refreshing and dysfunctional superhero team, which we can see similarities in previous X-Men, Avengers, Guardians of the Galaxy movies, and in the episodes Legends of Tomorrow, Titans, and most recently, Umbrella Academy.
But as a fan of doomsday patrol comics, I have to complain about this point in the series: Why are steel bones here? Steel Bone, as a member of the Teen Titans, first opened his experience fighting crime, and after the DC "New 52" reboot, he became one of the elders in justice league, but he never joined doom patrol!
If steel bones appear in the titans, it is still more reliable, and the beast boy (Ryan Potter) in that drama was once a member of the Doom Patrol, and he began to fight criminals under the leadership of the professor. My guess is that Steel Bone was a member of the DC Superhero Cinematic Universe at the time titans were created, and he had just appeared in Justice League and perhaps in the "Flash" standalone movie, which was not possible in a TV series like Titans.
But justice league lost at the box office, and DC may realize that the character won't be on the big screen anytime soon, so he decided to use the role on the small screen as well. At that time, Titan had already begun production, so he had to be put in Doom Patrol. Although this is a bit different from the comics, this choice does have some significance, and his origin story and unique strength have also added a lot of highlights to this superhero team and the series.
But what really makes this show worth a look is the quirky characters and great cast.
Diane Coriano's Crazy Jane is eye-catching, and this debut character is like James McAvoy in "Split" and "Mr. Glass", playing out all her different personalities in the clinic. While I appreciate Bruno bichir's performance in Titan, Timothy Dalton is a better fit for the role, and he is able to perfectly balance the strengths and weaknesses of each character.
The bouncy girl played by April Bowbet, who had previously been very prominent in Titan, did better this time because she was given more time to show off and develop the attractive character. Matt Pommer and Brandon Fisher don't show much face, but they're still the show's center of gravity.
The two actors appear only in the character's flashback episodes, in which Fisher dedicates the best performance of his acting career, while Pomo has more time to explore the problems of homosexuality that his character faced in 1960 and how he became the superhero he is today. Fisher and Pomo's powerful live-action performances in the first episode allowed the audience to bond emotionally with the characters, even after they were later presented in cgi form.
<b>If there are no powerful enemies, there will be no great heroes. Doom Patrol portrays dc as one of the best villains since the Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight, Mr. Nameless, played by Alan Tudek. </b>The producers must have asked Tudek to go a little too far, and he did, studying each scene while finding fun in it.
In the end, "Doom Patrol" became a strange, humorous, and funny superhero work, which had an unexpected reversal, and I believe that fans and science fiction fans will like it.
<b>Media reviews</b>

Dc universe's second live-action original series is a leap forward compared to the first Titan. You can speak freely about the DC Universe's latest superhero drama, Doomsday Patrol — it has a very chaotic structure, but it's an epic advance for Titan — and no one will accuse it of jokes that no one understands, no matter what those jokes are. In fact, if you hadn't fallen into the story trap of Doom Patrol, you wouldn't have been able to evaluate Doom Patrol positively or negatively.
After all, the show's narrative is always taunted, and after the protagonist, Alan Tudek, talks about "critics, what do they know, they hate the show," critics liken him to Deborah Chloe in a particular movie. So exactly is this a positive comment, and I'm trying to prove that I have a cool attitude towards DC and the series producers? Or is it a critical review, and as the episode says, I won't accept the work? I don't know, the only thing I can be sure of is that I don't hate Doom Patrol no matter what the story's creators expect. Whatever that means.

I saw Brandon Fisher's face dutifully take up five minutes of the navigation set, and that's when I realized that Doom Patrol would be a part of the cracked piece. After Titans and Justice League Junior, DC Universe Stream's third original, Doomsday Patrol, is like a bizarre journey down the rabbit hole, an ode to surrealism, black humor, celebrating those who don't fit in and those who are abandoned.
Despite some oddities and awkwardness, Doomsday Patrol is about a story of an unsociable person finding each other, and the show completes the story very well, all of these characters are so unique, thanks to the creative choices of the actors and writers. "Critics, what do they know, they're going to hate the show." Alan Tudek's character uttered this line in the first episode of Doom Patrol. Mr. Nameless was wrong, and this was the first time ever that there had been an online review of a comic book work.

Maybe Neither Titan nor Justice League Junior isn't enough to get you subscribed to DC universe's streaming programs. This is incomprehensible. Titans made a bad impression at the beginning, thanks to the infamous "Get out, Batman!!! ”
Although the first half of "Justice League Junior" performed well, the show is more aimed at the existing audience of this animated series. Now that Doom Patrol is here, there's no reason why people shouldn't pay the $8 subscription fee. This new drama is the best performing DC TV series in recent years.
Whether you're a die-hard fan of Doom Patrol comics or just love the stories of how unsociable heroes protect this world that hates and fears them, Then Doom Patrol is definitely for your taste.
Theoretically, Doom Patrol is a spin-off of Titan, but people don't need to understand the original comic book or watch Titan in advance. While retaining some of titan's creative cast, Doomsday Patrol lacks a deeper connection with the DC universe, with a very different story tone than Titan.
All you need to know is that Doom Patrol is DC's response to the X-Men, and it fills the gap that Marvel currently has for X-Men in terms of TV series.

Doom Patrol seems to dismiss Titan's dark, serious tone and then begins to create an antidote to the dullness. The third original, launched by the new streaming company, is very weird, which is exactly what you want the comic book characters to look like, who were once billed as "the strangest heroes in the world".
But Mr. Nobody, played by Tudek, did not appear much in the first episode, and he was the biggest highlight of the series. In the past, Tudyk always appeared as a comedian, but in Doom Patrol, he was not only an imminent threat to superheroes, but also an evil, omniscient narrator, always saying lines like "Our story, like many similar stories, begins with a visit to the Nazis" and "more TV superheroes, which is the need of audiences around the world", he is more than just a comedy star.
From the 1940s to the 1980s, from the 1950s to the present, the premiere ratings of the series were wavy, but Tudek's sharp comments calmed the show's viewing volume a lot, ensuring that people didn't take important moments too seriously.
If Mr. Nameless hadn't done it, there would have been no doubt that others would have done so. The first episode of Doom Patrol didn't get very good ratings, and perhaps the producers couldn't resist using the idea that "people are weird." The whole play presents a fascinating alternative, sometimes funny, sometimes heartbreaking and irresistible.
