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.



[John Crossland ]Male, late 20s-early 30s, Caucasian. Equal parts charm and impenetrability, John is a cop. He has a nice smile, tired eyes and a cool, distant manner. However, when provoked, his eyes are so lethal “they drain a man of every last bit of spleen.” John is haunted by the murder of his family. Unbeknownst to those around him, he is also a vigilante. In the shadows, he fights with the commitment and conviction of an artist, the brutal grace of a dancer. Mentally and physically, he is covered in a map of scars. And though he fights to escape his past, it is often a losing battle…SERIES LEAD

[SARAH] Female, Mid teens, Open Ethnicity. Troubled, bullied, often scared but unwilling to show it, Sarah is a loner more comfortable hiding in her hoodie than making friends. Haunted by a dark force inside her, Sarah experiences violent episodes that she cannot understand or control. She is also plagued by recurring nightmares that lead her across the country in search of help…SERIES REGULAR

[Casey Female, 20s, Open ethnicity. Casey is a tall, stunning woman, her beauty so magnificent it’s almost inhuman. Elegant, refined and mysterious, she is on the hunt to discover who is trying to kill her and why. And those after her are in for a surprise because she’s more deadly than anyone they’ve ever encountered…SERIES REGULAR

[JAX] Male, Mid-late teens, Open Ethnicity, Asian preferred. Funny and charming, this amateur thief’s humor hides his insecurities and past pain. Not the toughest kid on the streets, he’s learned to survive in the world with his wit and quick-thinking…SERIES REGULAR

I hope Nightwing's suit will be blue instead of red. Changing it to red has been a big mistake in my opinion and thankfully the comics have corrected that mistake, but you never know what they'll do for the live action version.

With Raven, Starfire and Beast Boy being in the show it'll be disappointing without Cyborg.

I wish Donna Troy's version of Troia would be in this show too. I remember in the past DC wanted to explore the relationship between Dick and Donna, but Time Warner said no, so now that this is a different universe getting to see that explored would be interesting to see.

Really not all that surprising. They are skipping Robin and so it would make sense that Nightwing would be older and seasoned. Then he deals with the newbies. Also allows them to introduce the first team.

@storyteller - Good story telling. Tell'em how it is!

@storyteller - Robin doesn't need to be 30 to be seasoned. If he were even 22 he'd be seasoned since he's been fighting crime since a child.

Makes a better dynamic if he is similar to their age but matured from his experiences, rather than just having him be older and dealing with young people.

That would allow for them to play on the fact that he isn't much older, if at all and is the leader because of experience rather than age. Robin typically leads the Teen Titans and most are older than him except maybe Beast Boy and Raven.
