During the New York Comic-Con, it was also revealed the premiere date of "Doom Patrol". Previous report by Newsrama suggested that the series would arrive on DC's upcoming streaming service on December 12. However, they quickly updated the report, saying that "Doom Patrol" remains slated to premiere in 2019.
Written by Jeremy Carver, "Doom Patrol" is a reimagining of one of DC's strangest group of outcasts, Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Woman and Crazy Jane. Led by the mysterious Dr. Caulder, they're called into action by the ultimate hero for the digital age, Cyborg (Joivan Wade). Banding together, these rejects find themselves on a mission that will take them to the weirdest and most unexpected corners of the DC universe.
In addition to penning the script, Carver serves as executive producer. Also executive producing the series are Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti and Berlanti Prods' Sarah Schechter. Berlanti Productions produces in association with Warner Bros Television.
