Grant Morrison and Fart Jokes – / Movie

Second live show of DC Universe, Doom Patrol, arrives today. This team of superheroes is made up of Robotman (Brendan Fraser), Negative Man (Matt Bomer), Elasti-Girl (April Bowlby), Cyborg (Joivan Wade) and Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero) and a farting donkey . So, it's not the Justice League. It's not even the Suicide Squad.

During a panel of television reviews for Doom Patrol, creator of the series Jeremy Carver confirmed appearances of Danny the Street, Celsius and other characters from the Grant Morrison series Doom Patrol. The flashbacks reveal more and more of the characters' story, such as how Larry Trainor was a closed pilot before an accident made him black, and Cliff Steele an adulterous race car pilot before the leader (Timothy Dalton) does not put his brain in a robot.

After the TCA panel, Carver spoke in more detail about the series' cinematic look, the overlap of Cyborg characters and more.

Is there a bit of an influence of Zack Snyder on Doom Patrol with slow motion, 300 effects esque?

No disrespect to Zack Snyder, but mimicking the movies was not really part of the conversations we had when we were collecting the series. It was mainly Glen Winter, our pilot project manager, and Dermott Downs, who led the second episode. We were trying to create our own appearance. Any resemblance to me is flattering but unintentional.

I do not mean to imitate the look of someone else. I meant the scale and reach reached as much as the movies.

There has always been an effort to give it the widest possible reach, to give it the same feeling as television and cinema, as some of the best premium and streaming programs do. I think this was very important for Warner Brothers and DC Universe as an application to indicate that they were going to become even bigger and more scopey than network TV. It was still part of the plan to give it a very broad cinematic feel.

Is there a superhero battle in each episode?

No no. This is actually a superhero show based on characters. You could witness a battle and an episode that is essentially a group therapy, in which they try to stop themselves from going crazy slowly. The show does not pull a fist when it comes to show. We do not do it every episode, and I'm very proud of the series, but it's a show that's not just about big battles every episode.

When it comes to prominent superheroes like Batman, Superman and Spider-Man, people may feel that these original stories are so well known that you will not need to repeat them. Were these original stories really juicy to put in the first episode?

Yes, these are really fun stories. Some are presented as fun. I think you can see in the first episode that it's not just fun. There are many layers in their original stories that we unpack during Season 1, at the very least. These people were not necessarily fantastic before becoming what they were. It's very interesting, at least for me, to live in a world where there are not great things that do not happen to great people and where they have to learn to manage them. People who may have mocked what was different or different are in this position. Others, who may have felt different in different ways when they were normal human beings, find themselves totally different as meta-human. Backstories are of great interest to us, writers, now in the life of the series. There is a lot to decompress there.

Is there an element of karma in their original stories? I hesitate to say that about Cliff because his family did nothing wrong.

I think it's a great question because I think it's an issue they're struggling with. During all these decades, they wondered if they were stuck in isolation. What did I do to deserve this, is not it?

Larry had a secret, but now we know it's not a bad secret. It was a bad sign of the time when he had to keep it.

It is totally true. I think for Larry, a very control-oriented man, he always wanted to keep control, keeping control of his different lives. I think what's important in Larry's character, as you've described it, has taken a long time to forgive himself for feeling different and realizing that what he's doing is not a good thing. had not done since all the years that followed his accident puts his previous life in the context of the times. That it was not bad to be what it was and that it was wrong what the time gave him.

There are currently three versions of Cyborg, Doom Patrol, Justice League and Teenage Titans. Does your Cyborg cover his eye and hand only because you already have two characters completely covered?

The suit of Cyborg, we wanted to do a lot of hindsight where, in some of the Cyborgs, more of his human flesh was exposed. With the face, we wanted to see so much emotion in the face, because this story of Cyborg and its history of origin as well as the problems of relationship that it has with his father during the first season are precisely this feeling: Does his father like the machine or the man? We wanted to feel as much humanity as possible at Cyborg, which meant to expose us a little more of his human traits.

Does the irreverent narrator come from comics?

Mr. Nobody is a pretty irreverent figure in comics, so the voice is very much inspired by Grant Morrison's Nobody.

Is he the narrator all along Doom Patrol?

Yes, but he does not tell every episode. He chooses to go in and out. We play a little with narration in different episodes. It's better to let the episode itself understand.

Is Doom Patrol do you have the most wacky jokes of any comic series?

[Laughs] In episode 1, we indicated that we would own this space. I would like to say that we are trying to be fairly small, but the truth is that we are letting everyone hang out. Be ready for anything.

Will flashbacks always be part of Doom Patrol?

Yes. Part of the pleasure of introducing these stories of these team members from their different eras goes back to history, there were still many elements to discover and learn. So there is a rich world in these stories.

What do you take from Grant Morrison?

There is the unwritten book cult which is a two-episode arc, which is basically an end-of-the-world scenario in which we, the writers, wrote our own response to the version of Grant Morrison, with which we a lot of fun.

Is a Sensitive Street a piece of cake after finishing Robot Man, Negative Man and Elasti-Girl?

You know, we get a lot into this episode through the eyes of our characters who are sometimes just as stunned by what they meet in the outside world as we are. From the point of view of the character, the tests they perform in the first three episodes form the basis of the fact that nothing surprises them.
