The Titans finale ended on a huge cliffhanger as we learned that, yes, Batman losing the plot really was all just a dream. With Dick Grayson seemingly under the control of Trigon, we're left with a lot of questions and there was no sign of Nightwing or the team coming together to kick some ass.
On the plus side, we did get an after-credits scene featuring the live-action debut of Connor Kent. Emerging from a lab and surrounded by dead scientists, the young hero is branded with Superman's logo (on his arm) and is looking for something. That something turns out to be his dog Krypto. Needless to say, fans are going to be very happy about this.
What they may not be pleased about is the team not assembling properly during season one, something showrunner Greg Walker explains by saying it's "more interesting watching them trying to form a team and being pulled apart than watching them actually be a team and fight together." Wait, what? That sounds like a pretty clueless statement.
Regardless, asked about plans for Connor, Walker had this to say about what comes next.
"It’s still brewing. What I can say is that we still want to take the same dimensionalized and psychologically grounded approach that we do with the other characters and apply that same pressure to Conner Kent and see what shakes out when you put a character like that through that test. You know, questions of identity, questions of powers, questions of your place in the universe. These are all questions that are interesting for any kind of Superman character, and are really interesting for Conner."
As for whether or not we'll get to see Trigon's true form, it doesn't sound like he'll be anything more than human. "I always thought it was more interesting to kind of play the human seductive side of evil that preys on your weaknesses rather than just preying on your fear." Have you lost faith in Titans or was that action-packed finale enough to get you to stick around?
