TITANS: A Golden Age DC Comics Superhero Is Being Cast For Season 2 Of The DC Universe Series
Season two of Titans is shaping up to be very interesting indeed as just days after Superboy was cast in the DC Universe series, it's now been revealed that a Golden Age hero is also being sought after...
Season two of Titans is gearing up to begin shooting and now a new casting description is doing the rounds which points to a Golden Age DC Comics superhero joining the DC Universe TV series.
It's said that the online streaming service is looking for a Caucasian male in his late 30s to late 40s to play "Jack Cole." Apparently, he's haunted by his past after dedicating his life to vigilanteism from the shadows, guarding his vulnerability and secret fighting skills with a gentlemanly exterior.
Does that sound like anyone familiar to you?
Well, it's more than likely Guardian, a character created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1942. He was later resurrected in the 1970s as a Superman supporting character and has since been reimagined in The CW's Supergirl as the hero Jimmy Olsen suits up as. As for why he may be coming to Titans, the role that CADMUS Labs (where Superboy escapes from) may tell us all we need to know.
After Infinite Critics, we learned that the original Jim Harper/Guardian was killed and then cloned by the villainous organisation. The new version was haunted by the memories of the man who came before him and that matches up with the description above.
