JC Alvarez READ TIME: 2 MIN.

Unlike any kind of superheroes you've ever seen before! The DC universe is full of some of the most colorful and attractive heroes – gods really – but hidden in some of the darkest corners are some of the most unconventional misfits, with powers and abilities that keep them on the on fridge, heroes not on the make for the glory of it all. Here now is... "Doom Patrol" The Complete First Season of the DC Universe Original Series is now available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital and introduces the most fascinating group of misfits you'll ever meet!

Spinning out of the subscription networks premiere hit "Titans," when we were first introduced to Beast Boys "roomies" aside from their ravenous appetite we didn't really get to learn much about the oddballs living under the care of The Chief (series guest star Timothy Dalton) who harbors a collection of residents with uncanny abilities that set them apart from their contemporaries in more ways than one. Among them there's Cliff Steele (Brandan Fraser) the Robotman who was once a philandering car racer who was giving a new lease on life.

The Elasti-Woman (April Bowlby) is one-time Hollywood starlet Rita Farr who hasn't aged a day since being exposed to some exotic fumes that turn her skin into pliable material, but if Rita lets her feelings get the best of her, she literally breaks down into a blob. Larry Trainor (Matt Bomer) was an expert pilot flying the most dangerous missions, but was leading a double life and keeping his true self a secret, until he comes across a strange alien form of energy and is turned into the Negative Man. Trying to keep it all together is Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero) the newest recruit.

When an old enemy of The Chief's, the elusive Mr. Nobody (Alan Tudyk) literally comes out of the woodwork, to plot to destroy everything the chief has built in the service of his charges, the group has no other choice but to follow a trail that will undoubtedly lead them to doom! Perhaps with the help of Vic Stone (Joivan Wade) the Cyborg, the Doom Patrol may have a chance at finding The Chief and along the way prevent Mr. Nobody from setting his plan in motion to do what else – but destroy the world!

The 3-disc Blu-ray features all 15 episodes of the premiere season of "Doom Patrol" and include bonus, unaired content you can't get anywhere else, a gag reel featuring the cast and a "Come Visit Georgia" PSA that brings the uninitiated into the world of these DC Comics favorite that are far from the ordinary, but are still proving that it takes all kinds to save the world. "Doom Patrol" The Complete First Season is completely unexpected and uniquely entertaining! It's on a whole other level and in a league all of its own.
