DC's 'Doom Patrol' vs Netflix's 'The Umbrella Academy': Same premise but vastly different experiences

The two teams of dysfunctional superheroes sound like they might have quite a bit in common, but are they really that similar?
PUBLISHED FEB 15, 2019

It may just be a coincidence that both DC and Netflix have decided to release their off-beat superhero shows on 15 February, but one thing for sure, both teams are definitely an odd bunch of heroes.

While both series tend to follow a pretty similar story arc, misfit superheroes dealing with their own problems before they can save the world, they tend to be drastically different in terms of backstories, visual styles and even in the way their characters are portrayed.

Here we compare the two superhero shows on a few confirmed bases.
