One of my glory moments is being able to have some input in the writers room last season and being able to talk about some of the issues and wanting to address things that television doesn’t when it comes to black diversity in sci-fi and superheroes. It really speaks to how much the culture has changed. Taimur Dar: There’s a great episode in the previous season where during the Eternal Flagellation the team switch places with their subconscious selves and Vic remembers being in a store as a child and being told that they don’t sell black superhero toys. It’s about the mentality of wanting to protect and serve. But I think he comes to the understanding that being a hero is not just the cybernetics and the power he has. We see him battling with what it means to be a hero because he’s lost all of the glory of what makes him a hero. This season we pick up with Vic losing his cybernetics and going on a journey to understand exactly who he is and make his own decisions. We saw that when he was having a conversation with Frenzy and he was questioned about what it means to be black. Wade: At the end of Season 3 we left Vic in a place where he confronted his father and decided that he is going to take matters into his own hands and he wants to experience what it feels like to be Vic Stone and just be a black man.
Q: What can you tell us about Victor’s journey in Doom Patrol Season 4?
Season 4 is bigger and wackier and weirder. Just when you think you can’t get any worse than talking butts then you have sex ghosts. You never really get to grips of it until you’re going up the donkey’s ass and then realize this is the Doom Patrol. We read the editions from Grant Morrison and Gerard Way which is where we were the told a lot of our material was going to come from. We tried to do as much preparation for ourselves. Q: How did they prepare you for such a weird show? Did they share the source material with you? During our conversation, the cast discussed a variety of topics including the experience working during COVID, a musical episode and much more! Whether or not Doom Patrol Season 4 ends up being the final outing for the motley crew, everyone involved is clearly making sure they’re pulling out all the stops.Īhead of the season premiere, The Beat had the chance to participate in a press roundtable with other outlets at New York Comic Con to chat with actors Joivan Wade (Cyborg), April Bowlby, and Michelle Gomez (Madame Rouge).
DOOM PATROL CAST SERIES
television projects at the moment, the future of the series is up in the air. Given the precarious state of Warner Bros. Since then it’s become a critically acclaimed and beloved gem with the fourth season set to to arrive this week. But I don’t think anyone could have predicted just how far the television adaptation of the series would explore the weird and bizarre when it debuted back in 2018. Any DC Comics reader is well aware of the reputation of the Doom Patrol, the self-styled self-proclaimed world’s strangest superhero team, to go against the grain of mainstream superhero comics.
