DP on DC Nation - FINALLY!!! or Gal Friday 3

Boy, oh boy, was I thrilled to see the link on CBR declaring that the Doom Patrol clip and stills were available.

I'm not sure what the actual air date is, but it seems like it might be tied to Teen Titans Go! Admittedly, I found the one and only episode of TTG! that I've viewed to be a little too pointless for me. That said, I do supposed this is why Niles Caulder invented DVRs, right? 

Thanks to my favorite freelance employer, Comic Book Resources, here is the clip in all of its forty-seven second wonderfulness. 

Thanks CBR!

Personally, I love it! 

I love the way Rita and Cliff work together, the way Larry's body falls limp, the crotchety old man voice they gave Immortus - I love EVERY BIT of it and cannot wait to see more!! 

Sure, this is a bit of a stretch for a Gal Friday feature, but I'm making and breaking my own rules here. 

Let me know what you think of the video, friends. When did you see it? How did it rate compared to the show it was paired with and who would you like to see more of?

Almost Doom Patrol!

This week gives us a little nugget of Doom Patrol goodness- er, well, Doom Patrol evilness, in the form of General Immortus as the bad guy in the latest issue of Batman: The Brave and the Bold.

Issue #6, penned by J. Torres and drawn by Andy Suriano with Dan Davis on inks sees the "Forever Soldier" trying to cobble together a commandable army of warriors from times past. Torres spins Immortus into an amusing character, as Immortus recounts his failings in summoning his army from yesteryear. Twelve viking raiders, six knights, four old west outlaws and three spartans come to the present day and pose a bit of a problem for the Dark Knight detective.

Batman draws up his own recruit in the form of Kid Eternity, which of course leads to a few more guest stars, as revealed on the cover.

A wacky adventure, befitting the tone of the television series, but unlimited in character usage.

The DP themselves do not make an appearance in this issue, save for Batman mentioning them in his monologue exposition that helps introduce the readers to General Immortus. I could almost hear Diedrich Bader's voice speaking to me through this issue.

Four (out of five) stars!

I'll add some images later this evening.

It's evening. I'll just leave the images here and we can discuss a little later:
