The explosive finale of the DC Universe Exclusive Titans caught viewers by surprise, when Dick Grayson was called back to Gotham City to learn that his former mentor had finally gone off the deep end. Mourning the loss of Commissioner Gordon, Batman finally decides to cut off his humanity and abolish his no-kill rule, slaughtering the Joker and all of his most famous rogues. Unsurprisingly, this turned out to merely be a hallucination induced by the show's main antagonist Trigon. Still, fans may still get the chance to glimpse the actual Clown Prince of Crime and as more than just a corpse. Jason Todd actor Curran Walters recently posted this cryptic, but suggestive photo of the character on Instagram:
This isn't the first time that Walters has alluded to Batman's nemesis, however, as he has previously expressed an interest in adapting
Batman: A Death In The Family (which saw Jason Todd murdered by the Joker, subsequently resurrected as the murderous Red Hood). If the Joker does indeed appear, he won't be the only major supervillain joining the fray. Geoff Johns has already confirmed that
a very different Deathstroke is coming to
Titans at some point.
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.
