Animated World of DC Comics: The Teen Titans meet the Doom Patrol (2005)

Teen Titans kicked off its 5th & final season in 2005 (the five seasons were produced over a 3 year period) by introducing Beast Boy's old team, the Doom Patrol, in the 2-part episode, "Homecoming". Here's part 1:

Unfortunately, Dailymotion deleted both chapters. For now, we have this excerpt from part 1:



We'll save the rating for when we present part 2, which will be tomorrow.

So, you might ask, what's the occasion? Well, word just came across the wires earlier today that DC has chosen the Doom Patrol for a live-action series to air on their new DC Universe streaming service, beginning next year. As with the forthcoming Titans live-action series, Doom Patrol is being entrusted to----who else?---Greg Berlanti, as if he doesn't have enough on his plate already. At the rate things are going, Berlanti may as well be offered a stake in the CW, even though he also has shows on NBC (Blindspot, just renewed for a 4th season), Netflix (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, coming soon), Lifetime, and, in the fall, two entries on CBS, in addition to the 2 DCU online entries. Now, that's busy with a capital B.

I heard a rumor that the original show might come back for a sixth season. During a WonderCon panel in March 2018, Teen Titans Go! producer Michael Jelenic said he could "almost guarantee" the original Teen Titans series would be returning.

Something like that.

Give me the source of the rumor, if you can.

Just checked it. You quoted it in your initial post. I'll have to check articles on WonderCon 2018 for more details.

It took me a while, but I've replaced it.
