"Ready for a story about superheroes? (SIGH) More TV superheroes, just what the world needs. Be honest – Have you hung yourself yet?"
-- Mr. Nobody, Doom Patrol -- "Pilot"
Hello again, everyone! My fellow TitanTalker Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast! This time, we review the pilot episode of the new DC Universe series Doom Patrol, starring Brendan Fraser as Robotman, Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane, April Bowlby as Elasti-Woman, Matt Bomer as Negative Man, Timothy Dalton as The Chief, and Alan Tudyk as Mr. Nobody!
In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like why our Titans podcast is reviewing the Doom Patrol spinoff series, casting changes from the Titans episode "Doom Patrol", the creepy and artistic opening credits, Glen Winter directing all the Greg Berlanti DC superhero TV pilots, comparing the first Doom Patrol episode to the first Titans episode, Jesse going all in on Doom Patrol, the decision to make Cliff a cheating husband and having a daughter before his accident, Cliff learning how to control his robot body, Cliff being a better person as a robot than he ever was as a human, Timothy Dalton's Chief compared to Bruno Bichir's Chief, speculating on The Chief's long-term plans, Jesse's initial thoughts on Crazy Jane, the Sally Field TV movie Sybil, Cliff asking Jane to come in out of the rain, the revelation that Negative Man is gay, the karmic fate of perfect Rita being turned into an imperfect creature, Rita being bitter and living in her past glory days, the ginormous Doom Patrol Omnibus hardcover, Mr. Nobody breaking the fourth wall and being self-aware that he's in a TV show, less f-bombs having more impact when used, wondering why Cliff never met Jane before, what Cliff thought he would face when heading into Cloverton alone, our favorite quotes of the episode, showrunner Jeremy Carver learning from the mistakes of the Titans rollout, some news of Titans Season 2 and upcoming Doom Patrol characters, some feedback from DJ Nik in Milan, and more!
