Oracle Will Be A Member Of TNT's TEEN TITANS Series

Barbara Gordon aka Oracle definitely raises eyebrows but she's not the only surprising addition. Equally surprising are a few omissions from the roster that makes Titans a very unique incarnation

TNT is forging ahead with plans for a live-action Teen Titans series called Titans which centers on the character of Nightwing.  Previously, Starfire and Raven were confirmed to also appear and now Nerdist believes they know what other characters will make up the team.  Reportedly, TNT is looking to cast the roles of Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, Hawk, Dove and.....Batgirl (but there's a twist to Batgirl)!  The last character comes as quite the surprise as Batgirl aka Barbra Gordon has never been a member of the Teen Titans.  Nerdist further reports that at the start of the series, Dick Grayson has not adopted the persona of Nightwing and has left Gotham and Batman to become  a police officer in Boston. Apparently circumstances force Dick Grayson to adopt a costumed vigillante persona once again but the former Boy Wonder decides to make the shift to Nightwing.  Furthermore, Barabra Gordon will not be fighting crime as Batgirl in this superhero drama, instead, she'll be wheelchair bound and serve as the team's computer hacker specialist.  That's right, Barbara Gordon will be Oracle, not Batgirl on Titans.   

Joining Oracle and Nightwing are Hawk and Dove. However, this will be the Hank Hall/Dawn Granger version as the pair are described as being in a romantic relationship.  Starfire and Raven reportedly only appear at the very end of the pilot episode so there's not a lot of details on how close their depiction will be to the source material.  Noticabely absent from this version of the Teen Titans are popular members Cyborg and Beastboy.  Also absent are original Teen Titan members Aqualad, Kid Flash and Donna Troy.  Of course, this doesn't mean that these characters can't show up later on at some point during the first season but they don't appear in the pilot episode.

Couldn't give a crap about Hawk&Dove, but live-action Raven and Starfire will be interesting.

They probably wanna do storyline about Cyborg and/or Beast Boy origins, so that's why they aren't in the first line up.

I don't get why DC hasn't used Static Shock in the Titans in their comics. Like why not?

Sure Static is getting a show but isn't it a webseries? Would have liked to see Static on the team.

It seems that not only Batman exists in the Titans world but also the Joker.

I'm not surprised about Cyborg, a little disappointed that Beast Boy isn't there though.


But I'm still super pumped for this show!!
