TITANS: Geoff Johns On The Significance Of Robin Leaving Batman; Says The Trailer Isn't "The Whole Show"
Titans will premiere on the DC Universe streaming platform this October, and ahead of its debut, we have some comments from Geoff Johns on the controversial trailer and Robin's relationship with Batman.
The official trailer for the upcoming DC Universe series, Titans, was filled with quite a few shocking and controversial moments. Perhaps, the most talked about moments in the footage were the parts featuring Robin, specifically the "F*ck Batman" line.
Now, thanks to an interview from CBR, we have some comments from co-creator Geoff Johns on the divisiveness of the trailer and whether the moment that caused Dick Grayson to leave Batman will be explored.
“It is! It is controversial! I think that was expected though, you know?" Geoff Johns said before explaining that the trailer isn't indicative of the what the show is as a whole. "I don’t think anyone was like, ‘What? Wait! What?!’ As I’ve been telling people, I’m like, you know, not to take the trailer as, ‘This is the whole show.’ But I’m glad there’s discussion and there should be discussion about that and why we would go that direction and why Robin would ever get to that point."
Aside from addressing the amount of criticism directed at the Comic-Con trailer, Johns said the series will indeed explore "the moment that Robin left Batman” and that it will be a "big part of the series" that stays true "to Marv [Wolfman] and George [Perez]’s" Teen Titans run. So get ready to learn why Grayson had harsh words for The Dark Knight.
