It's been clear from day one that Titans will deliver a much darker and grittier take on these characters than what we're used to seeing, something which came as a surprise considering the fact Warner Bros. has tried to move away from that after the response to 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
In Deadpool 2, Ryan Reynolds' Merc with the Mouth took a swipe at the DC Extended Universe when he asked Cable, "So dark...you sure you're not from the DC Universe?" Now, the Titans Twitter account has issued a very simple response to that: "Suck it." Yes, this really is how the DC Universe streaming service is choosing to promote the series which launches this coming Friday. It's certainly...unique!
It appears as if Warner Bros. is perfectly fine with poking fun at its dark past because the Teen Titans Go! movie certainly didn't shy away from that and it appears as if the Harley Quinn animated series won't either. It seems a tad disrespectful to Zack Snyder's work, of course, but moviegoers did reject that darker take on these comic books so most will probably appreciate the jokes. What do you think?
