Animated World of DC Comics: Doom Patrol Go! (????)(2019)

If you've been following DC Universe's relaunch of Young Justice, then you know that Greg Weisman and friends took a good natured poke at Cartoon Network's perpetually spammed into the ground Teen Titans Go!.

In episode 12, Beast Boy (Greg Cipes) tries out a virtual reality helmet developed by a toy company run by Granny Goodness, of all people. The helmet transports Gar into a number of scenarios, including---are you sitting down yet----Doom Patrol Go!.

The remainder of the TTG cast (Scott Menville, Hynden Walch, Tara Strong, Khary Payton) voiced the Patrol members ("Chief" Niles Caulder, Elasti-Girl, Negative Woman (instead of Negative Man), & Robotman). Most of them also have regular roles on Young Justice: Outsiders, so this was an easy do.



All this does is illustrate just how silly Teen Titans Go! really is, and how DC & WB are willing to poke fun at themselves.

For what it's worth, Gar's origin was altered in the context of Young Justice, as his green skin is the result of a blood transfusion from Ms. Martian (Danica McKellar), making him M'Gann's half-brother.

And this is better than TTG by a country mile.

Rating: A.

Let's hope and pray this show doesn't get a sixth season.

Unfortunately, it seems as though TTG will get a sixth season, but it hasn't been confirmed yet.

What do you think of Young Justice, though? Or don't you have DC Universe on your computer, Steve?

I don't usually watch YJ, but I heard it was good. I'm glad YJ got a third season. I am still disappointed that the original TT didn't get a sixth season yet. Maybe DC Universe or Netflix can renew it. BTW, I don't have DC Universe. However, YJ Season 3 is on kimcartoon.me.

Inevitably, YJ will be on DVD for this season.
