Titans [DC Universe]

[MarkHB 7.7k]

I agree; the pics that have been officially released have been too good to expect the rest of the players to look awful. 

[MarkHB 7.7k]

DC has announced the name of their new streaming service.  It will be DC Universe, and will premiere with 4 exclusive new titles: Titans, Young Justice Outsiders, Harley Quinn, and the newly-announced Swamp Thing, directed by James Wan.

Also: we have a logo!

[MarkHB 7.7k]

This site that I've never heard of has titles for episodes 8 and 9:

#1.8 “Angela”
#1.9 “Donna Troy”

[MarkHB 7.7k]

And we already have a spinoff!

[Twilight Man 508]

I've heard of shows that have been granted full-season pick-ups,

and even a few shows that have been renewed for a second season before one second of the show "actually" debuts.

This is the first time (to my knowledge) that a show is granted a spin-off before it even debuts.

Before long, we will have a show that is "so adored" by the "network",

it will be granted six seasons, a two-hour finale movie shown in theaters, and two spin-offs

before one second of the show "actually" debuts.

[MarkHB 7.7k]

I remember when the show Angie was universally adored and star Donna Pescow (now occasionally seen as the therapist on The Flash) was America's Newest Sweetheart... all in ads in TV Guide that hit stands before the series premiere had even aired.

Two interesting spoilers.  First, a casting notice for Episode 13 seems to bring to mind the New 52 Superboy.  And then there's this set photo...

Official Announcement of DC Universe... with a new look at Robin.

first full pictures of Robin: Very Arkham wouldn't you say?

This is a new synopsis, right?

Quote

Titans follows young heroes from across the DC Universe as they come of age and find belonging in a gritty take on the classic Teen Titans franchise. Dick Grayson and Rachel Roth, a special young girl possessed by a strange darkness, get embroiled in a conspiracy that could bring Hell on Earth. Joining them along the way are the hot-headed Starfire and loveable Beast Boy. Together they become a surrogate family and team of heroes.

 

(Can't wait until Hollywood gets past the "a gritty take on..." phase of adaptations)

And still no firm release date.

From the looks of his face, Bruce must have made him babysit Damian.

First off - 'booo' to these photos being so dark (and Photoshopped).

Secondly; I'm not feelin' the costume. It doesn't scream "Robin" to me. Yeah, it's got the right colors, and the 'R' symbol, but it also seems too heavy/bulky, and I don't think it works with the cape. Good job with the domino mask, though.

I assume he's going to have a second 'Nightwing' costume at some point?

I know we are supposed to get A LOT of guest stars this season but if this show lives past a 1st season, really hoping we get a Wonder character up in there full time. Donna/Cassie deserve their time to shine! And maybe a Speedster or archer or Aqua_____.

Titans will be a part of the "DC Universe Experience" at Comic Con:

[Trini 12.7k]

Ryan Potter (Beast Boy) will be on the Super Asian America panel at SDCC.

Ryan Potter will also be on the Big Hero 6 panel, but he probably won't talk about Titans there.

VERY NSFW (Rated TV-MA).  I'm not embedding for that reason (no nudity, sorry).

Fuck Batman! You tell him, Dick! Fuck yeah!

::rolls eyes into the sun::

That is a laughably bad trailer. It's an edgy 14 year old boy from 1992's dream. How does this look cheaper than any CW show? I've seen better fanmade trailer using clips from random shows and movies.

Well, they're aiming for an "R rating" apparently, so stay tuned for that Robin/Starfire sex scene....

That's way too damn funny.

[Andrew Wiggin 99]

Wow looks Starfire bad like really bad

Yeah they say the Oufit its only for the first episode but if you got a better look off her why didnt they show it ,it would Spoil nothing.

Every shot from here in the Trailer looks teribble and nothing like the Character anythere in the  Comics and she looks older as the Actress is in RL thats realy quit good  FX work .......

[MarkHB 7.7k]

So, exclusive to some site I've never heard of... Elliot Knight has been cast to play Don Hall, the original Dove, in Season 1 flashbacks.  Don, Hank "Hawk" Hall's younger brother, was killed in Crisis on Infinite Earths; Minka Kelly is playing the new Dove, Dawn Granger.

Not about Titans specifically, but some promo for DC Universe:

[MarkHB 7.7k]

OK, news out of Kevin Smith's live stream introducing DC Daily and DC Universe: The DC Universe app will go live on Batman Day, September 15, and Titans will premiere on October 12 with new episodes every Friday (12 episodes total in Season 1).

It would help if they at least gave us an image that doesn't look exactly like the one second we saw of her in the trailer.

Meanwhile we're, what, six weeks from the premiere? And they're giving us basic promo pics that show us nothing new. Didn't this show begin filming months ago? Some episodes stills or a new trailer would've been nice. They're launching a brand new streaming service and this will be their first original live series, so I keep expecting more effort.

For me, I'm still waiting for a reason to start a subscription immediately rather than wait until all 12 eps are released so I can bingewatch.

[Trini 12.7k]

They need to ditch that hideous fur coat, but otherwise, I think Starfire looks fine. I'm glad we got a better look at Beast Boy. So he's going to have green skin with CGI?

Promo photos for the first two episodes are out - dead Graysons, and no Beast Boy. (and annoyingly, no captions)

[Andrew Wiggin 99]

If Starfire got another look they would shown it by now ,after the Backlash they got.

Still the same bad look,i dont think there is another look for her :/

[Primal Slayer 12.0k]

I am cautiously optimistic about this show.

ETA: What's even the point of releasing photos so dark, that you can't see anything??

Edited September 13, 2018 by Trini

[Trini 12.7k]

They released a group photo:

Plus quotes from the cast and producers: https://ew.com/tv/2018/09/13/dc-universe-titans-unite-exclusive-photo/

 

I think there's some photoshop shenanigans going on with Beast Boy's head. And they're really going to make people watch (buy) for an explanation for Starfire's look.

[Trini 12.7k]

I wasn't sure if this would be available online when they announced it, but the first DC Daily episode is up on DC's youtube channel. They have a 20-second clip of the two Robins (it's near the beginning). Most of the rest of it is selling DC Universe and other DC stuff; but there's also a short interview with Kevin Conroy for Batman Day.

Okay, nevermind; I haven't been paying attention to Titans twitter:

I'm really curious what Starfire's story/backstory is in this.

And for the record, I have no problem with Starfire's outfit or hair, but that Wookie coat needs to burn.

Agreed.  When I first saw it in the BTS pics I thought it was something she was wearing off-camera to keep warm in Toronto.
