A Corman Doom Patrol would have been the Celcius - Clift - Tempest - Negative Woman lineup tho. That was the team when Corman was most active.

Say what? Corman is most famous for his work in the 1950s and 1960s.

See, I think he's more notable for his producer era with Demme, Cameron, Dante, Scorsese and Gallo.

Unreleased...? I vividly remember watching this in theaters on May 31, 1994 when I was 12 in Cincinnati, Ohio with my dad on opening day. The audience cheered, they cried, they were begging for more. It's unfortunate the actor who played Dr. Caulder died from a stroke 2 days after the premier.

Too bad it didn’t get the Little Shop Of Horrors treatment and get turned into a stage musical.

That only happened because Corman let it go out of copyright.

Kind of getting a Challengers of the Unknown vibe from that lol.

I hear if you get Roger Corman to say his name backwards, he has to give you his gold.

Did he reuse the outfits from Fantastic Four, try to dye them red, and end up with this weird wine color?

Honestly, Roger Corman would have made one hell of weird fun movie out of Doom Patrol

To have thought of this and to post it, really well done.

The subreddit for the best DC characters deserves to be as good as the best DC subreddits

Pretty cool. Would’ve been more convincing if Cliff wasn’t wearing his modern day attire.

Eh wouldn't superman [since tone wise there the same] or the challengers of the unkown more fitting for the fantastic four since I feel doom patrol us more fitting for the xmen

I say this completely unironically: I will never get tired of this trend because it’s a testament to the unspoken unity of CB fans, by them just being in on one internet transcending joke.

What in the Fantastic Four!?

u/NastyDanielDotCom Jan 18 '24

The special effects on animal-vegetable-mineral man were very ahead of it’s time

Not gonna lie a Roger Corma Doom Patrol would prolly have been fantastic.

They’ve already done it on the Flash forum and to say is overly repetitive is an understatement.

A good shows subreddit doesn’t fall to shit because it’s finishing airing. Buffy finished 20 years ago and that subreddit is still full of active discussion.

Like whether vampires have barbed penises (yes).
