He’s a slasher! And he must be stopped!
Forget all about funny Frasier jokes. Because Doom Patrol now has their Dr. Caulder. And his name is Prince Barin Timothy Dalton.
Known, perhaps primarily, for his stint as James Bond, DC considers him well suited to the role. Mostly, due to his ability to switch between heroic and villainous roles. Dr.Caulder, often referred to as the Chief, has a tendency to switch between the two.
In Grant Morrison’s infamous run on the comic series, the Chief was revealed to be plotting to destroy much of the world in an attempt to restart human society. He was stopped by the Doom Patrol (getting decapitated in the process, which led to him living life as nothing more than a conscious, cryogenically preserved head for a while), and eventually seemed to recant his beliefs and once again become a force for good. However, as seen in Gerard Way and Nick Derington’s recent run on Doom Patrol, his ideas are still misguided and as a result, the team is pretty wary of him.
Doom Patrol certainly seems to be shaping up as one of the killer apps of DC Universe. There’s no set launch, though. Either way, DC Universe launches on September 15 this year.
