Animated World of DC Comics: Doom Patrol (2012)

With the live-action Doom Patrol currently airing on DC Universe, the streaming service also has the three shorts produced for Cartoon Network's ill-fated DC Nation block in 2012.

This 75 second nugget is a compartmentalized adaptation of a classic story from the comics. The cliffhanger format is intentional, but only three shorts were produced, mostly as teasers.



The intent was to use the interstital portion of DC Nation as an incubator for possible spin-offs. That led to the still-on-the-air Teen Titans Go!, but there was better material to be had, such as the above.

Rating: A-.
