She’ll arrive on
Doom Patrol just in time to be a part of the show when it’s exclusively streaming on HBO Max, now that DC Universe has begun to phase out original programming.
Madame Rouge was first introduced in
Doom Patrol #86 back in 1964, and has since appeared in all number of DC stories. However, to modern fans, the character is probably best known as the villain on the
Teen Titans animated series. According to Variety, this version of Rouge is “a complicated and electrifying eccentric who arrives at Doom Manor with a very specific mission, if only she could remember it.” Sounds like she’s not going to be herself right off the bat.

Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina has always been a show that struggled to be
about something while still churning through vast acres of plot. And while this season occasionally spent time with Sabrina struggling to figure out who she was after a bad breakup, the finale goes out in a wild blaze of plot, as her various loved ones battle to save her and stop the Void.

They’re ultimately successful at stopping the Void, but Sabrina herself isn’t saved, thus ending the show on a surprisingly down note for a series that was often explicitly about darkness but rarely completely despairing. It’s a blur of events, considering the episode begins with Sabrina making out with her boyfriend among friends while watching a scary movie. In short order, Sabrina Morningstar reappears through a mirror with just enough life left in her to warn Sabrina Spellman about the Void before she perishes. This event then kicks off a series of speeding train events that keep dropping characte
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and reveals some general plot points for season 4.]
Like its title character, Netflix’s
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina has always been pulled in too many directions. Half-mortal/half-witch Sabrina Spellman (Kiernan Shipka) started the series by dividing her time between getting a normal teenage education at Baxter High, focusing on social-justice causes, studying magic at the Academy of the Unseen Arts, trying to fight the patriarchy running the Satanic Church of Night, and protecting the town of Greendale from supernatural threats. Her life and the show’s plot got even more complicated in season 2, when Sabrina was revealed to be the daughter of Lucifer Morningstar (Luke Cook), leading to her using magic in the season 3 finale to simultaneously both rule with her father in hell and stay in Greendale.
