One of the best things about the boom in superhero/comic related live-action adaptations in the past decade is the embracing of the costuming side of it. While a lot of them get modifications to adjust into reality there’s something to be said for the bold coloring as opposed to the simple black leather that used to dominate most of these things. The upcoming Titans live-action series that’s coming as part of the new digital service that DC and Warner Bros. are putting together has taken a new step as we’ve got our first look at Brenton Thwaites in a partial costume for his portrayal of Dick Grayson, aka Robin. It’s definitely leaning into the Tim Drake version a lot as opposed to the classic Robin costume and we’re more than fine with it because it works very well.
Previously announced cast includes Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson, Teagan Croft as Raven, Anna Diop as Starfire, Alan Ritchson as Hawk, Minka Kelly Dove, and Ryan Potter as Beast Boy.
The series will be done by Greg Berlanti, Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter and Warner Bros TV, which means there’s a very good chance it’ll connect with The CW shows to some degree as Berlanti’s projects have worked to keep that a part of things.
Plot Concept: Titans follows a group of young soon-to-be superheroes recruited from every corner of the DC Universe. In the action-adventure series, Dick Grayson emerges from the shadows to become the leader of a fearless band of new heroes that includes Starfire, Raven and others.
