NRAMA: Just for the sake of absolute clarification – Doom Patrol. Specifically Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol. Given it’s appearance in Teen Titans #31 – in continuity, or out? And then how does that now work with John Byrne’s Doom Patrol?

DD: All Doom Patrols are in continuity.

NRAMA: All?

DD: All of them. And some of the shifts have been explained away with the “Continuity Wave.” See, its working already.

NRAMA: So then, John Byrne’s Doom Patrol series was started with this in mind? That is, the unexplained re-appearance of the Doom Patrol in the present day was done so with Infinite Crisis and how it would realign it in mind?

DD: Right.

NRAMA: But DC and Byrne took a tremendous amount of heat for the Patrol’s return without mention of their past…in the end, was it worth it?

DD: Absolutely, you cannot publish a large line of comics with out taking some risks and if it had worked better, we would have been having a different conversation. As you’ll soon see with some of the new series planned, we will continue to add a level of risk in everything we do.



Please If Byrne's Doom Patrol had been a success Morrison's DP would either still be out of continuity or shipped off to some other Earth.



I don't see the problem here. DiDio admits that if Byrne's run had worked, they wouldn't be taking the route that they are.



But still, to say that they had this planned before Byrne's DP? I doubt it. Now maybe they planned to do something continuity wise, but I doubt they knew his run would flop the way it did. I mean why even bother if they didn't think it would work?
