TITANS Live-Action Series & YOUNG JUSTICE: OUTSIDERS Set To Debut On A New Digital Service From DC
Mere moments after Geoff Johns teased "something new," WB issued a press release announcing a new DC-branded digital service, which will launch with the debuts of Titans & Young Justice S3!
Ever since TNT decided to pass on DC Entertainment's Titans pilot early last year, not much has been said about the studio's future plans for the Teen Titans and with the recent news of a Nightwing solo movie being in development, it wouldn't have been a stretch to assume that the Titans project was effectively dead. However, as fate would have it, that was anything but the case.
In an official press release, Warner Bros. has announced their very own DC-exclusive direct-to-consumer digital service, which will launch in 2018 with two original series: the live-action superhero drama series Titans and the long-awaited third season of Young Justice.
Dick Grayson will lead the Titans team, which will consist of heroes recruited from every corner of the DC Universe, including the now-confirmed Starfire and Raven. The rest of the roster remains a bit of a mystery, but based on the The New Teen Titans #1 cover provided with the press release, it seems likely that it will be rounded out with some combination of Beast Boy, Cyborg, Kid Flash, and/or Wonder Girl. Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, and Greg Berlanti will write the pilot and will also executive produce alongside Sarah Schechter.
As for Young Justice, we have our first details on the season's main storyline, which somewhat surprisingly makes no mention of the looming Darkseid threat that was teased in the second season finale. Moving past that oversight, it does reveal that the team will tackle meta-human trafficking, which is bound to amount to some major thrills. Sam Register will executive produce while Brandon Vietti and Greg Weisman serve as producers. Emmy Award winner Phil Bourassa will serve as the series' art director.
Check out the first synopses below:
“Titans” follows a group of young soon-to-be Super Heroes recruited from every corner of the DC Universe. In this action-packed series, Dick Grayson emerges from the shadows to become the leader of a fearless band of new heroes, including Starfire, Raven and many others. “Titans” is a dramatic, live-action adventure series that will explore and celebrate one of the most popular comic book teams ever.
In “Young Justice: Outsiders,” the teenage Super Heroes of the DC Universe come of age in an animated world of super-powers, Super-Villains and super secrets. In the highly anticipated new season, the team faces its greatest challenge yet as it takes on meta-human trafficking and the terrifying threat it creates for a society caught in the crossfire of a genetic arms race spanning the globe and the galaxy. Equally praised by critics and viewers for its impressive visuals and rich storytelling, “Young Justice” reached more than 25 million unique viewers in each of its two seasons on Cartoon Network. This passionate fan support set the stage for the new third season.
