As a lifelong comic book reader, I love me some Doom Patrol,
both the silver age wackiness and the Grant Morrison drug-fueled fever dreaminess.
So when I saw that the DC Universe app was going to have its own Doom Patrol
show, I broke down and sprang for a subscription.
There’s not much else on the App right now, but their
schedule for shows premiering in 2019 is ambitious to say the least. Aside from
watching Doom Patrol, the thing I was
most excited about was the old Spirit pilot starring Sam Jones as Denny Colt. I
hadn’t seen it since 1987 and I’m looking forward to revisiting it. I made the
decision to wait, not immediately watch it, because I might need a palate
cleanser.
Turns out, it was a good call. Seeing that Doom Patrol was going to be a weekly
show, and only two episodes were online, I figured I’d be more frustrated than
gratified. With nothing left to lose, I decided to try out Titans.
