Crisis On Infinite Earths Confirms Titans & Doom Patrol AREN’T In The Same Universe

Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for Crisis on Infinite Earths.

The final episode of the Arrowverse crossover event Crisis on Infinite Earths confirmed that Doom Patrol and Titans are set on their own individual Earths. While this was logically apparent after the first season of Doom Patrol, the series had originally started out as a Titans spin-off and it was assumed early on that both shows were set in the same world.

The Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths ended in much the same way as the comic book mini-series that inspired it, with the realities of all of the superhero shows on The CW merging together into a single shared reality dubbed Earth-Prime. The event diverged from the comics, however, in that a new multiverse was formed with Earth-Prime at its center. This multiverse was made up of the many other television series based on DC Comics’ properties, including all the live-action shows on the DC Universe streaming service.

A montage profiled several of the existing Earths, designating Earth-21 as the setting of Doom Patrol. The same montage affirmed that the world of Titans was still Earth-9, as it had been before Crisis on Infinite Earths began. This was the first official confirmation that both shows did not share a universe, which was odd as Doom Patrol originally started out as a Titans spin-off.

The team first appeared in Titans, season 1, episode 4, “Doom Patrol,” when Garfield “Beast Boy” Logan took his new friend Rachel “Raven” Roth back to his house. He introduced Raven to his housemates, Cliff, Rita and Larry (i.e. Robotman, Elasti-Girl and Negative Man) as well as Dr. Niles Caulder, the scientist who had saved Garfield’s life with an experimental procedure. Dr. Caulder attempted to analyze Rachel’s powers; an action which ended with him being confined to a wheelchair again, after having just apparently recently regained his ability to walk. The episode ended with Garfield leaving his home and his foster family behind to travel with Rachel and her friends, Dick and Kory.

Given that April Bowlby, Brendan Fraser, and Matt Bomer recreated their roles in the Titans episode for Doom Patrol, it was assumed that both shows were set in the same continuity despite the role of Dr. Niles Caulder being recast with Timothy Dalton for the Doom Patrol series. Indeed, the Doom Patrol were originally meant to make an appearance during Titans’ season 1 finale. Yet there were a number of continuity problems between the first episode of Doom Patrol and their appearance in Titans, with the chief one being that there was seemingly no place for Beast Boy to have been living among the other residents of Doom Manor in Doom Patrol’s timeline.

By establishing Titans and Doom Patrol as being set on separate Earths, the Arrowverse Crisis on Infinite Earths has finally eliminated the confusion regarding the connection between the two shows. It can be safely said at this point that the shows were meant to be established as part of a shared reality but all the evidence of that was removed in post-production. As it stands now, the production teams of both shows are free to proceed with developing themselves as they see fit under the shared umbrella of the new Arrowverse.
