New ‘Doom Patrol’ Teaser Hints At Robotman’s Tragic Origin Story

Entertainment Weekly has released a new Doom Patrol teaser that hints at Robotman’s tragic origin story.

In one of the earlier episodes of Titans, viewers were introduced to Brendan Fraser’s Robotman and the cyborg superhero will return as one of the main heroes in Doom Patrol. Much like the comics, Robotman started life as a race car driver named Clifford Steele, who would have died in a horrific car accident had The Cheif not been able to transplant his brain into a robot body. Now, a new Doom Patrol teaser offers fans a glimpse at Robotman’s tragic backstory and a new look at Brendan Fraser as Clifford Steel.

DOOM PATROL is a re-imagining of one of DC’s most beloved group of outcast Super Heroes: Robotman, Negative Man, Elasti-Girl and Crazy Jane, led by modern-day mad scientist Dr. Niles Caulder (The Chief). 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 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.

Doom Patrol stars Matt Bomer as Larry Trainor/Negative Man, Brendan Fraser as Cliff Steele/Robotman, April Bowlby as Elasti-Woman, Diane Guerrero as Crazy Jane, Joivan Wade as Victor Stone/Cyborg and Timothy Dalton as Dr. Niles Caulder/The Chief.

Doom Patrol will premiere on February 15, 2019, exclusively on DC Universe.
