Doom Patrol: 10 Things Every Fan Needs To Know
3. A Magic Brick May Be A Key Character
While it's too early to predict the exact storylines Doom Patrol will use, a safe bet would be to say that Danny – who is perhaps quickest summed up as a magical talking brick – is very likely to play a crucial role in events.
Danny initially appears in Doom Patrol as a sentient teleporting street, and develops over time into Danny the World, your friendly local sentient universe. As a surprisingly caring and moral figure, Danny goes through several transformations, the most important of which being his time as a brick.
Does the use of a talking brick as a major plot device seem like a joke in of itself? Yes, yes it does. Is it the type of joke the television producers would want to include? From what's been shown so far, it’s a definite yes.
