The upcoming DC-branded streaming service, DC Universe, has ordered the live-action series “Doom Patrol” for 13 episodes, Variety has learned.

The Doom Patrol’s members each suffered horrible accidents that gave them superhuman abilities but also left them scarred and disfigured. Traumatized and downtrodden, the team found purpose through The Chief, who brought them together to investigate the weirdest phenomena in existence and to protect Earth from what they find. Part support group, part Super Hero team, the Doom Patrol is a band of super-powered freaks who fight for a world that wants nothing to do with them. Picking up after the events of fellow DC Universe series “Titans,” “Doom Patrol” will find these reluctant heroes in a place they never expected to be, called to action by none other than Cyborg, who comes to them with a mission hard to refuse, but with a warning that is hard to ignore: their lives will never, ever be the same.
 
something to note from the synopsis is cyborg, looks like he might actually in the tv shows which many thought wasn't going to happen since he became a founding member of the JL in New52

he was never mentioned in the Titans show at all but with that synopsis, maybe he'll make a late series cameo?
 
no ramblings yet but it will likely vary

Titans probably going to be similar to the old cartoon (the good one) while Swamp Things going to be darker on the horror side

i'm looking forward to more show announcements
 
probably another actor since the movie-verse is still separate

for example Titans has it's own **** Grayson but they are still making a Nightwing movie with a different actor
 
So Snyder finally broke down and admitted that he was using Injustice as a basis for the DC Film Universe...

What “execs” over at WB thought that would be a good idea? The only way Injustice even comes close to working is if you have these charecters established in their intended canon first...No way it should have gotten the go ahead...Snyder would’ve really benefitted from somebody sitting him down and explaining how bad an idea that was...

Was this an interview? Only reason I could justify it is if they were basing they're reasoning on the success and reception of the game. Very short sighted in my opinion but I can see them thinking that would work

I read it here https://www.comicbookmovie.com/batm...rations-for-his-dc-cinematic-universe-a160613

The Knightmare sequence in BvS makes sense if Injustice is where things were headed...Pregnant Louis gets killed by the Joker which causes Superman to become a tyrant...

But still, even if you were thinking of visiting Injustice or other elseworlds stories, the charecters needed to be established in their own mythos first...
 
Might’ve dodged a bullet with Snyder being removed from the Universe though...Certainly wasn’t ready for full on evil Superman before even getting the actual big blue boy-scout version first...

:lol:

And I like(d) Injustice. As you said you definitely only form an entire cinematic universe around that unless you establish the heroes as themselves first :lol: That's the entire crutch of Injustice. A Superman thats first known for snapping necks isn't gonna be that compelling if you kill his mom or Lois. We know he'll kill again.

the butler gets his own series on epix...

'Gotham' Boss Sets New Batman Prequel Series at Epix

'Pennyworth,' a 10-episode, straight-to-series order, will be an origin story about Batman's best friend and butler, Alfred Pennyworth.

Epix is getting into the DC Comics business.

The MGM-owned premium cable network has handed out a 10-episode, straight-to-series order for Pennyworth, a drama set in the Batman universe from Gotham showrunner Bruno Heller.

The series will revolve around Alfred Pennyworth, the best friend and butler to Bruce Wayne (aka Batman). The series is not a Gotham spinoff but rather an entirely new story exploring Alfred's origins as a former British SAS soldier who forms a secret company and goes to work with Thomas Wayne — Bruce's billionaire father — in 1960s London. Sean Pertwee, who plays Alfred Pennyworth on Fox's recently renewed Gotham, is not involved. Casting has not yet begun and the series is set in a completely different universe despite hailing from Heller and producers Warner Horizon. (Others who have played the Alfred role include Jeremy Irons, Michael Gough, Michael Caine, Alan Napier and William Austin, among others.)
 
:smh:

A prequel series for a prequel series now? Starting to get absolutely absurd...

Just make a show set in the 70’s that follows an SAS agent...The hell they have to connect the damn thing to Batman for...
 
When I read the title of that elswwhere I thought it was just a solo comic series :lol:

Not a damn tv show. WB will reach for anything while milking Batman like crazy.
 
cw been avoiding doing one for the longest but made arrow a knockoff batman. Wonder if they were scared to make one or dc was like nah you can’t.
Rumor was that DC was telling CW they can't do shows with the big 3 but then Supes showed up in Supergirl. So who knows.
 
DCs been a lot more protective of Batman appearances because it's their biggest cash cow.
 
Honestly none of the big guys should be in tv shows

Batman, superman, WW, flash, green lantern or aquaman.. and then major villains
 
Superman is fine because they had a long running series with Smallville but Batman is still their biggest hero and Gotham doesn't count.

I actually don't like what Gotham is doing, I like the concept but i wish they didn't involve Bruce Wayne too much.
