We've known for a couple of weeks now that The Doom Patrol is coming to Titans and it seems we now have a much better idea of which iteration of the team we're getting in the DC Comics series. Drop Dead Diva and Two and a Half Men alum April Bowlby has been cast as Rita Farr, a hero better known as Elasti-Girl. She certainly looks the part and seems a pretty good fit for a character like this one.
According to the official description for this take on the hero, "An actress on the rise, Rita Farr was exposed to a toxic gas that altered her cellular structure — which, in the comics, allows her to expand or shrink her body at will. Longing for the days of old, Rita finds a place for herself among The Doom Patrol." Bowlby will first appear in episode five and has the potential to recur later on.
The casting of Elasti-Girl points to us getting the original roster of The Doom Patrol, a group which also included the likes of Negative Man and Robotman. Bowlby now joins a cast of characters which includes Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites), Starfire (Anna Diop) and Raven (Teagan Croft). Alan Ritchson and Minka Kelly will also appear as vigilante duo Hawk and Dove. Are you guys excited for Titans?
