TITANS TV Series Character Breakdowns Reveal Some Intriguing New Details About The Four Team Members
Detailed character descriptions for Warner Bros. TV's upcoming Teen Titans show have been unveiled, and they reveal some intriguing new details about Dick Grayson, Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy...
Warner Bros. and DC's new Titans TV series is scheduled to begin shooting this September in Atlanta, and thanks to That Hashtag Show we have detailed descriptions for each of the main characters.
As always, their actual identities are hidden behind code-names, but the details make it pretty clear that actors are being sought to play Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing, Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy.
Based on these breakdowns, the small-screen take on Grayson will be heavily influenced by the mid-90’s Nightwing run, which saw the former Robin join the Bludhaven Police Department in an effort to combat the corruption in its ranks. It sounds like both Raven and Starfire will be based primarily on the first incarnations of their comic book counterparts, while Beast Boy will be portrayed as an affable thief.
Check out the video and descriptions below, and let us know what you make of 'em in the usual place.
