The fourth and final season of the beloved DC show, Doom Patrol, is all set to bid farewell to fans, with the much-awaited remaining six episodes.
DC and Max recently shared a new trailer for the final episodes of Doom Patrol, also referred to as S4B. The trailer highlights the superhero team's upcoming challenges and a meta-commentary on the conclusion. It can be viewed below.
The final episodes witness the misfit heroes confronting their deepest fears, ultimately facing a pivotal choice: remain bound to the past or seize control of their futures. Additionally, the characters are also facing an existential challenge with rapid aging, which prompts them to rally for one final mission, and urgently reclaim their longevities, as a way to extend their lifespan. This race against time coincides with their ultimate battle against the supervillain, Immortus, resulting in an intense showdown.
The trailer doesn't just showcase action-packed sequences, but it also highlights some deeper themes, giving viewers a glimpse of funny, as well as heartwarming emotional moments between the main characters. While Cliff Steele asks, "Is this really the end?", Elasti-Girl presents a monologue about having conquered various notorious villains. Complementing the video is the song "We Know It's Over" by Simon Diamond and Karl Hungus, while a transition also states "All good things are doomed," setting the tone for the climactic conclusion.
