Jesus, just once can we not give these shows to people with the mentality of a 13 year old who has just discovered GTA?

Heh. You'd swear it was an SNL parody.
The sound effects are what seem funniest to me. Like when he gently taps on that guy's neck and you get a thousand celery-snapping KRRRRRRUNCH sound.

At least Doom Patrol being thematically (and literally?) dark would make sense? There are plenty of bleak stories from the Morrison run that could be fodder for the TV show. As much as people love Doom Patrol for the meta stuff, there's a pervasive element of body horror to the majority of the series. But given how unappealing the costumes are and how the sets and lighting look like they were put together with on a $5 budget, I have no clue how someone like Robotman could even look passable. I can only imagine how they're going to ruin Negative Man. "OK, so this guy just has cloth bandages over his face? Got it." "Psh, yeah, right, not on our budget! Just go get a rubber mummy mask from Party City, that's good enough. We're shooting in pitch black anyways, no one's gonna notice it!" And Elasti Girl never uses her powers because once she got big and stepped on a kid and had been suffering PTSD ever since.

What the f***? Is that supposed to be Dick? Is it supposed to be Tim? What the f*** did you do to Robin, DC? The only way that would work is if it's Jason. And then, you'd take away Jason's backstory. Holy Zod. Apparently, Grayson did have a potty mouth once, but the willingness to waste goons like that was exclusive to Todd, and I associate that persona with the Red Hood instead of Robin. The complete violence, shooting a gun, and breaking people's necks is the problem. Why must they try to make every superhero dark and gritty? A staple of Dick is that despite the horrible deaths of his family, he never lost his happiness, compassion, and love of life. They made it canon in the comics, that when Bruce adopted Dick, Dick was the one that saved Bruce, not the other way around.

I was thinking it looked like a parody as well. It's exactly the kind of thing I would of imagined if I was asked what a joke trailer making fun of how dark the DC movie universe has been would look like.

Its a bad sign when I look at Titans and then find myself preferring the quiet dignity and restrained taste of the Gotham television series.

Dick having a falling out with Bruce is a good idea; it's why Wolfman/Perez did it in the first place. But you can/they did it without being so corny and on the nose with it. Dick having surrogate daddy issues needn't totally undermine his character.
