We're just a week away from the release of DC's 'Doom Patrol', and we were lucky enough to get a first-hand look at the 'Doom Patrol' series, and were pleasantly surprised by how well the series was put together. Fans have been anxiously waiting for the live-action release of this misfit bunch of superheroes, and we have to say, DC did not disappoint with this one. 

For those not in tune with DC's extended universe, the story of 'Doom Patrol' is set after the events of the 'Titans' series, and the team is led by Niles Caulder aka The Chief, who is also the founder of the 'Doom Patrol' team. The Chief (played by Timothy Dalton), who has paraplegia, has a genius-level intellect and uses his wit to help his new team members survive their fatal accidents by providing everything they need to get over their "disabilities".
