We recently got confirmation that the "freaks, outcasts, and social misfits" that make up The Doom Patrol will indeed appear on the upcoming live-action Titans series, and now we know who'll be playing another member of the team.

On the heels of the news that The Chief and Elasti-Girl have been cast, ComicBook reports that Jake Michaels (Designated Survivor) has landed the role of Cliff Steele, a.k.a. Robotman.

Here's the official description for this small-screen take on the character:


"A former race car driver, Cliff Steele was in a horrific accident that left his body uninhabitable. Cliff’s brain was saved by the mysterious Dr. Niles Caulder and he lives on in a powerful robotic body."

Steele and his pals will be introduced in the fifth episode of Titans, which is aptly titled "Doom Patrol".

This tv show could seriously push me to read the Doom Patrol, which is saying something. :3

sweet, hopefully the costume looks good, cause this could look either really great or really bad

I really want to see how the feast of the characters (specifically Beast Boy and Starfire) will look.

When is this show expected to release? A trailer can’t be TOO far, can it?

The casting for the Doom Patrol has been pretty quick. For all we know tomorrow they could confirm both Mento and Negative Man.

If they are able to do Robotman, then Cyborg couldn't be that harder right?

I am excited in any case. I wish I could remember this actor from Designated Survivor. Unless he was in a episode of S2 which I still haven't seen yet.

I can't speak on the show as a whole, but from what's been seen and heard I'm in.

They deserve a show of their own. Hopefully a spinoff is possible.
