NOTE: This was a tough one getting up. Firstly, after working hours on the GFX, Photobucket decided not to work for me. Everytime I would attempt to upload, it would log me out. IMGUR doesn't work with this site. Flickr isn't exactly user friendly as I had no idea how to link the photos from here. So ...I am forgoing the uniformity of these matches and posting more crude pictures. I HATE doing it this way, but this needs to go up. Sorry, for the lack of cohesion.
Round 1 Match 3
With our first round 2 match set to be between MrMurdock and mtwiggs, we now look to see who moves on next. Our next competitors took two very different approaches to the Teen Titans. One let the casst and the director do the talking, while the other mapped out quite the epic movie beat by beat, character by character. Both put a lot of work into their entries, but only one can move onto the quarter finals ...where things will get even hairier and even more difficult. Today's fighters are...
Flixmentallo21 Vs. Mumbix
And their challenge is a DC team that has been around since the 1960's, and some may say were more important than the Justice League during a time. We have seen these characters in multiple different incarnations: comics, animated for TV, animated for movie, and as a pitched TV pilot for TNT. We have not seen these amazing characters on the big screen yet, but today two would be producers pitch their dream casts and crews for their first big screen outing. Neither specified if their movies will take place in the larger DCEU canon. Regardless, we are about to witness the March of the Titans.
Teen Titans
Once you have peeped out what each competitor has had to offer with their casting, head below to cast your vote on which one you feel had the better take on the Teen Titans.
Flixmentallo's Cast
"Titans Hunt"
Based on: the 2015-2016 DC Comics mini-series "Titans Hunt" by Dan Abnett and Paulo Siqueira.
#Plot (modified from the summary text for the Titans Hunt collected edition)
"Robin. Wonder Girl. Speedy. Aqualad. Hawk and Dove. There was a time when these and other young heroes were synonymous with justice. They were the Teen Titans, one of the greatest superhero teams in the world…but that world has changed, and the time of the Titans has been wiped from it.
So why are Dick Grayson and Roy Harper—now better known as Nightwing and Arsenal—experiencing memories of a time they never knew? What compels them to hunt for an Atlantean named Garth and an Amazon named Donna Troy? What dangerous secrets connect them to a powerful stranger, a mysterious psychic and an odd couple—and what do those secrets mean for the fate of all life on Earth?
Somehow, somewhere, somewhen, these men and women were Titans. Now the hunt is on for the force that can reunite them so the Titans can tower once more…"
