9/1/2021 - Changed the thread title to reflect Season 3.
Didn't see a thread on the first season on Doom Patrol, so kicking off one for season 2...
Season 2 premiere Thursday, June 25 on DC Universe and HBO Max.

āThose annoying, feckless losers that I live with? Are my family.ā If you donāt know Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero)āshe of the 64 different personalities, each with its own superpowerāitād be easy to miss just how heartwarming the sentiment is. After a first season that saw Doom Patrol bring together its disparate group of outcasts (Brendan Fraserās garrulous Robotman, April Bowlbyās Elasti-Woman, Matt Bomerās Negative Man, and Joivan Wadeās Cyborg) into something vaguely resembling a team while rescuing their mentor-turned-betrayer, Niles Caulder (Timothy Dalton), the new season has seemingly very clear stakes. Milesā daughter is back, and she possesses a power that threatens to destroy the world, a looming cataclysm that has spurred every decision Caulder made, including creating the titular team of oddballs.
The trailer reintroduces everyone, though some characters get more of an emphasis than others, especially Bowlbyās Rita, who has made some real progress with her powers and looks to finally try and step up in heroic fashion. (Though not before failing to use her stretching abilities to hang a disco ball on the ceiling; āIāll get a ladder,ā she tartly concedes.) The first season expertly blended pathos and outsized hijinks, so itāll be interesting to see how the series continues to delve into the troubled psyches of our heroes now that theyāre explicitly in more of an all-for-one-and-one-for-all mindset. It already looks like great fun, from miniature Cliff punching a rat (letās not forget, they were all shrunk at the end of last season) to Nilesā daughter making a getaway in a literal spaceship. Thereās even a brief shot of good olā Flex Mentallo! This show has been missed.

Doom Patrol season 2 trailer: It's all about (a very weird) family
It all looks like reliably bonkers fun, from miniature Robotman punching out a rat to Niles' daughter making a getaway on a literal spaceship.
