History Trivia / DoomPatrol

** As of 2021 you can read Pollack's run digitally...if you spend $50 to pick up each individual issue, or subscribe to Comixology's Unlimited service. An omnibus of her run was finally released in late 2022, although it costs $100.

** Another rejected pitch that has come to light in the past few years was one by Scott Lobdell and Ilias Kyriazis, about an all-new Doom Patrol featuring stalwarts Cliff Steele and Gar Logan leading [[ComicBook/SwampThing Tefé Holland]], [[ComicBook/MetalMen Platinum]], [[ComicBook/JonahHex Madame .44]], [[Franchise/TeenTitans Zatara]] and ''Bizarro'', of all people. [[https://iliaskyriazis.blogspot.com/2013/08/a-different-doom-patrol.html Kyriazis' blog]] also features concept art of Changeling, Tefé and Platinum combining into a ''platinum sword-wielding, tree-limbed green shark''--a GoodCounterpart of the infamous Animal-Vegetable-Mineral Man.

** ''My Greatest Adventure'', the Doom Patrol's series of origin, is almost impossible to find in any official format, digital or otherwise; the only volumes that have been released officially are #80-#85, those pertaining to the earliest adventure of Doom Patrol before they got a dedicated comic.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: If you want to read the complete series, be prepared for quite a search. The original series was only collected in expensive Archive Editions, an expensive omnibus or now-rare black-and-white Showcases until 2018. After that, only Morrison's run, Way's and less than half of Keith Giffen's are collected in trade paperbacks. Rachel Pollack's was solicited to follow up the reprint of Morrison's run, but was cancelled again.

* NamesTheSame: Elasti-girl from WesternAnimation/TheIncredibles - for this reason you'll notice a small disclaimer in the end credits of the film noting DC's ownership of the name.

* ScheduleSlip: Gerard Way's run has become infamous for this, only managing to go three issues before being hit with numerous and repeated delays, sometimes with the same issue being pushed back ''three'' times. One issue was ''finally'' on track for a certain release date... then the [[UsefulNotes/COVID19Pandemic Great Lockdown]] arrived and delayed it again!

* FollowTheLeader: The comic was heavily influenced by ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', both in the individual characters (especially Robotman, who is similar to the Thing in personality and his quest to become human again) and the idea of a superhero team that made mistakes and bickered among themselves.
