Reportedly, Bleeding Cool has the first page from the script of the Pilot episode.

9/30: On the money, sorta already alluding to his comic origins of hiding out in Paraguay and being exposed to a Nazi device called the White Room.

10/3: A review/breakdown of the pilot.

Cool .

In before it debuts and people think it's better then the movie design .

 

[Rick Jones]

I just hope it's a cool design. The Smallville design did too little and the Justice League design did too. I hope the look is recognizably Cyborg.

I still have no idea what the deal will be with Vic on this show. Will he be an established hero trying to recruit the Doom Patrol for help or will he be another person coming in to be worked on by the Chief?

Unsurprising considering the influence of the Morrison run .

The cast screened the pilot.

So a 3 week gap of no new content after the first half of YJ finishes on January 25. I think so far that's the most among the series.

Honestly, that's fine for me. I myself have more than enough content to tide me over.

December 21st:
First look at Cyborg and first look at Crazy Jane. Also confirmation the show premieres on February 15th.

EDIT:
More character posters and a Teaser.

December 23rd:
A new report says the show was already renewed for a 2nd Season.

 

[Yojimbo]

Hmm, just like Titans. Though with Doom Patrol, they can wait until SDCC to formally announce it, imo.

Well, that's definitely a different look for Cyborg .

I appreciate it looks more like the character then the Smallville version, although it definitely looks like Cyborg on a TV budget .

EDIT:
More character posters and a Teaser.

That's definitely a Doom Patrol promo .

I wonder if this is another "spinning one season into two" ?

I honestly like the approach to Cyborg so far. Personally, I like when he's shown to have retained about half of his human body and isn't pushed to the limit as much as Robotman or RoboCop, where he practically has a fully technological body except for his human head. The tracksuit doesn't look too different from the sort of athletic wear Vic would be shown in when he would be incognito. I've liked the approachs to the DP main three so far and I'm having no problem with everything else that has been shown.

In the New52/Rebirth continuity, he's able to regenerate his flesh to some degree thanks to his tech.

It's possible that he could have been more robotic beforehand like Ray Fisher's version of the character, but grew more organic material around his metal skin at some point.

Also, for the sake of continuity, will Timothy Dalton have the same accent as the previous Chief actor?

Another behind the scenes look at Cyborg.

I dub thee "casual Cyborg" .
