I think it's clear from what's happened over the past few days that the world needs the Doom Patrol... needs us more than ever. Don't you see? There are areas in which only we are qualified to operate. When the rational world breaks down, we can cope... because we've been there, in ourselves. We have known madness... and delirium... and we are no longer afraid. The world has turned its back on us, but it's time to stop being victims, time to show them we're more than just freaks or cripples. Believe me, they need us. And we need each other. Don't let the Doom Patrol die again.
