A bonkers trailer for the fourth season of DC series Doom Patrol, has been released ahead of its return in December.

Doom Patrol reimagines one of DC’s most beloved groups of superheroes: “Robotman” aka Cliff Steele (Brendan Fraser), “Negative Man” aka Larry Trainor (Matt Bomer), “Elasti-Woman” aka Rita Farr (April Bowlby), “Crazy Jane” (Diane Guerrero), “Cyborg” aka Victor Stone (Joivan Wade), joined by former super villain “Madame Rouge” aka Laura de Mille (Michelle Gomez).

Each member of the Doom Patrol suffered a horrible accident that gave them superhuman abilities, but also left them scarred and disfigured. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of superpowered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them.

Season Four opens with the team unexpectedly travelling to the future to find an unwelcome surprise. Faced with their imminent demise, the Doom Patrol must decide once and for all which is more important: their own happiness or the fate of the world?

Doom Patrol is produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television with showrunner Jeremy Carver, Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Chris Dingess and Tamara Becher-Wilkinson serving as executive producers. The series is based on characters created for DC by Arnold Drake, Bob Haney and Bruno Premiani.

Double episode Thursday 8 December, new episodes continue weekly.

  1. This show reminds me of Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy which for me lost its way as a series and became so frenetic that not even the CGI could save it, which was disappointing. With Warner Bros trying to jump start its DC universe from the crisis it was in I’m sure all critical eyes will be on this new HBO season of Doom Patrol, which does get reasonable scores on Rotten Tomatoes (though this site is not a good recommendation for ratings anymore). Examining the various creative issues regarding ‘metahuman’ franchise shows the big studios are still finding it difficult defining who their most dedicated audience really is, and what stories and themes will please them, and this includes those DC fans who buy the DC merchandise or will want to see the big budget DC movies more than once; in the mean time the wastage of studio money keeps rolling on.
