We recently found out that Esai Morales had joined that cast of Titans season 2 as Slade Wilson/Deathstroke, and now DC Universe has officially announced that up-and-comer Chella Man will play Joseph Wilson, aka Jericho.

This take on the DC Comics character is described as being "mute after his father failed to rescue him from having his vocal cords severed by assassins, Jericho has the unique ability to possess anyone just by making eye contact. This gentle natured yet proud hero has proven himself a formidable Titan."

Man, who is "deaf, Genderqueer, Chinese, and Jewish", made a name for himself with his popular YouTube channel and has also done some modelling, but this will be his first major acting role.

Deathstroke's daughter, Ravager, is also expected top be cast. She's been portrayed as both an antagonist and member of The Titans, so there's a decent chance the show will follow suit in that regard.

Wow, his casting just fulfilled the diversity quota for the show.

@THRILLHO - This shit is getting utterly and absolutely ridiculous at this point. All this stuff is making me hate season 2 before it even starts

@RebelCommander - @THRILLHO

Can I ask you two a question? I ask this honestly. What exactly are you upset about?

I really am just trying to understand. I don't know who this actor is, so I'm just curious about what the problem would be.

Is it because you are familiar with their work and they are terrible at acting (again I don't know who Chella is) or because they are "deaf, Genderqueer, Chinese, and Jewish"? I'm not sure what that last part has to do with the acting since it seems incidental but is THAT the problem? That you don't think they deserve or earned the role because of who they are in real life not what talents they might bring to the table?

Help me understand the anger.

...who is "deaf, Genderqueer, Chinese, and Jewish"

What a resume! Idk why I'm here. I watched a couple episodes and it was pretty rough. Couldn't make it through Season 1. Terriible performances, writing, editing, color-grading. Didn't see any reason to go the dark, dialed-up-to-11 Snyder-level route either. Kind of cringey.

I figured they would at least cast a Latino to match Morales. I would have loved to see Diego Tinoco from On My Block

This is quite a big role for the Transgender actor's debut.

Honestly just bring back Cartoon Network's Teen Titans because I'm not sure it can get better than those versions of the characters. This chick destroyed my entire world when she turned on Beast Boy and the team.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - You should read The Judas Contract then. I watched the episodes of Teen Titans a few months ago that adapted this story out of curiosity and it grossly pales in comparison to the original.

Never heard of him tbh. I wanna see how his chemistry is with Esai Morales' Slade, that is what will sell the Wilson family dynamics for Season 2 in my book and if it can carry the show's storyline.

Doom Patrol is easily the best CB show, and I'd argue Titans is wayyyy more engaging than the Marvel Netflix stuff. Can't wait for Season 2.

@nibs - ooooooh idk about that. Daredevil is my boy and the acting with the scripts on Marvel Netflix are fairly better

I'd google the meaning of "genderqueeer" but that might raise a red flag with our office IT guys.
