So much happened inDoom Patrolseason 1 that its honestly difficult to summarize.
So EW caught up with showrunner Jeremy Carver and asked him how he originally conceived the show.
These were not typical superheroes to the extent that they didnt even consider themselves a team or superheroes.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about Robotman is that hes played by two actors.
Carver admits these dynamics presented a challenge, but the characters came together beautifully.
It felt exciting, but also a little scary!

It was one of those things that, had it not worked, it couldve been a disaster!
The fact that it did work was miraculous.
Negative Mans storyline was one of the most affecting in the show.
The show kept that specific context and worked it into the story.
Each member of the team essentially comes from a different decade.
That was very deliberate on our behalf.
We were absolutely trying to make a statement as much about America as we were making a superhero story.
It was an opportunity to add another layer to the show.
For one thing, the team is shrunken down to miniature size the last time we see them.
Theres a lot more where that came from.
BeforeDoom Patrol, Carver served as showrunner onSupernaturalfor years.
He says that show taught him very important lessons that he applied toDoom Patrol.
Speaking specifically to a person like Mark Sheppard, I learned to know when you have a winner.
That was one thing I learned right there, Carver says.
But theres a multitude of things.
Doom Patrolseason 1 is now streaming on DC Universe.Watch it herewith membership.
