Oh I see, thanks!Official press release from DC/WB states Doom Patrol takes place following their episode in Titans.
Doom Patrol: The Gang Gathers for a Moody New Poster | DC
Doom Patrol, the highly anticipated TV series based on the acclaimed, notoriously weird comic series, is set to debut on February 15th. Yet, we still haven’t seen much from it.www.dccomics.com
Show runner has also said:
"They're in the same world. We're asking fans to come to this version of the show knowing that it is the same world, but it's a different continuity. While there are elements of Titans and the show's introduction of our team, not all characterizations are the same and it's best just to come into it with a fresh look."
How the Doom Patrol Series Connects with Titans | DC
If you watched the first season of Titans, you probably think you know the Doom Patrol.
Not to mention that episode 2 has references to the Krypto/Superboy ending for Titans season 1 and the death of Melissa Roth from that shows first episode.
Swamp Thing and Stargirl are more in the air. Swamp Thing team has said it COULD coexist, but that they werent concerned with that. My guess is it may be brought back in later like how Constantine was to the Arrowverse. Stargirl set reportedly had a Rita Farr poster, and the DCU Easter eggs blogs suggests there may have been a Stargirl reference in Doom Patrol so there's potential, but no confirmation.
On a seperate note, I've been working on a timeline video for Watchtower Database on both shows, and one of the last things I've gotta pin down is the flashback from Danny the Street. I see here that its marked 2009, but after watching the episode multiple times I've seen nothing that pins it there. Is there a reason for this date?
Yeah, it's certainly a confusing situation, but I think the staff talk about it being different had to do with DP's characterization and overall feel being different from that of Titans as well as the logistics of crossover opportunity (from the outside looking in one could assume that both shows would want to use Cyborg and Beast Boy at points)Oh I see, thanks!
They are both great shows, so if they're in the same timeline, it's perfect!
The point is not that he's on Earth-1/Earth-38, the point is they're trying to make him apart of the Arrowverse formally. 6 shows, not 5, treated like Batwoman in Elseworlds. That's what I'm getting at here.
Live-Action Vertigo Universe? Throw in Matt Ryan John Constantine (his show can be canon to both universes like Vertigo comics were in DC and Vertigo universes, although it would be great if they could get his name right for once) in a cameo in Lucifer for a little fan service and you've got The Sandman, Swamp Thing, Hellblazer and Lucifer comics represented.
Just in case, in the Watchmen TV Series universe, there is:
Are there any contradictions between it and Doomsday Clock? If not, throwing it in is fine I suppose. The movie is non-canonical since it's an adaptation, and the show and Doomsday Clock follow the comics.
So, as Pro Bot said, the prequel and sequel are also canon for the TV Series?
Might as well have the whole thing. You could even include Watchmen: The End is Nigh, which is a tie-in game to the movie but can be treated as canonical. The Watchmen wiki includes promotional material for the movie, which is fine too. Those two are really just optional, though.
