Doom Patrol season 2 premieres on HBO Max and DC Universe June 25
- Thread starter Slayven
- Start date
Easily my least favorite of the DC Universe shows, but I'll probably give it a watch. Hope it goes to DC Universe ASAP because I'm not gonna sub at HBO Max for a while
S1 was top tier TV last year and that's saying a lot when we had Chernobyl and Watchmen.
Cannot wait.
Cannot wait.
So... what the fuck is the plan for DC Universe?
I hope worst-case is them cutting TV and movies and focusing on comics.

No kidding, just Season 1 or plans for additional seasons as well?
Looking at the date, this is a Thurs
I'm guessing it will still drop Fridays on the app?
If I had to guess their plan is to keep YJ locked on there with a shoe string budget as a hostage for subs.
The first season is perfect and more or less self contained. If they mess up on Season 2, we'll always have Season 1.
just s1 to fill holes in schedule from COVID
best part of s1
Deflated that they didn't announce this for DC Universe but happy it's coming sooner rather than later either way (although I ain't getting HBO Max for this, just canceled my current HBO sub after finishing West World. May re-up for Lovecraft Country in the fall).

I have immense respect for this show and made it 5 episodes in..... Then fell off
It's pacing, ain't great, even if it has a lot of excellent things to say.

Sounds like it'll he the audience it deserves. It sucks they buried this show on some random streamer here in the UK. Only heard good things, but I'm not subscribing to a service for one show.
DC Universe is pretty much only this, Young Justice, and Harley Quinn for me, so I'll probably cancel this month if everything ends up on another streaming service.
I don't think it's finalized but there are talks of moving that to HBO Max as well.
Oh man, so not even like Max and DCU at the same time? Lol, DCU deader than shit. I hope they at least move over the content to Max. Harley Quinn has to find a home somewhere.
The plan is to eventually turn off those streaming services and transition them to Max, give it a couple of months
Oh well, spoke too soon lol.
I realize, but are the original shows going to get renewed? Harley Quinn, Titans, Young Justice, etc.? That seems doubtful. And they already said they won't have Cinemax shows since they won't be doing anymore original shows going forward. So I want to know what lives and what dies to the sands of time
I don't know if we know how Max will function, but it was a weekly release on DCU
What a great scene and a great episode easily one of the highlights of the show. This show laps every other superhero show 10 times over.
One of my few none-Cyborg gripes about the show I had was what they did with the "original" DP. Love the idea and the execution wasn't bad but the fact that Rhea/Lodestone didn't even get a single line bugged me.
What does this mean for DC Universe?! I wish Warner Bros. would stop being so quiet on this front.
I'm not going to get rid of DC Universe, as I get so much mileage out of the comics portion, and I'll subscribe to HBO Max, if I have to, but some communication would be super helpful.
Slayven you should update the first post to say that this is also airing on the DC app same day so people stop freaking out.

'Doom Patrol' season 2 will debut simultaneously on HBO Max and DC Universe in June
"Doom Patrol" season one debuted as a DC Universe exclusive last year, but season two will be available on both DCU and the upcoming HBO Max.

Shouldn't have watched this, it had me tearing up the first time I saw it, in the middle of a pandemic and a shit day at work, I'm basically a bag of water at this point.
Yay now can someone explain what the first season was actually doing
with its plot? I enjoyed it but 'some' of the surreal ness threw me. I've spoiler tagged but still.
what was the reason Niles was always the same age during the many time skips? His daughter in the end was the reason he betrayed the team from memory. I keep thinking back to the two parter where with the unwritten book etc - that was probably the highlight of the seaaon

I'm going off memory here so I may be somewhat off but
I don't think it's made entirely clear how Niles and the rest of Patrol don't age, yet, but at some point it's said, I believe, that part of why he formed the Doom Patrol was to do research on anti-aging so it's reasonable to assume that he at some point either has the formula to reduce aging if not outright immortality and that the individuals in Doom Patrol are in some way connected to it.
And I'm not sure what you are talking in betraying the Patrol. He leaves them because of he thinks his daughter is in danger, yeah, if that's what you mean, but that was more because of manipulation on Mr. Negative's side iirc.

He'd been chasing immortality in order to outlive his daughter. One assumes he and Tempest haven't aged because they found some method. In addition one assumes whatever it is isn't good enough for Nile's purposes. Each of the team has their own version of immortality that he was researching.
So many great moments in this show. This one was definitely one of the best.
Really excited to see what they have cooked up for season 2. More Flex Mentallo pls.
