Deadline

Warner Bros. TV is rapidly expanding its live-action DC Comics TV universe. This season, it is going from one to four primetime series, returning Arrow and freshmen The Flash, Gotham and Constantine, and already is prepping another major broadcast franchise with Supergirl. Now the studio is expanding the DC brand to cable drama with Titans, a project that is nearing a pilot order at TNT. Titans is one of three TNT drama pilots stuck on the runaway, awaiting a formal green light as the network is undergoing a regime change. The other two are Lumen from Amblin TV and the Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay-produced Cocaine Cowboys.

Written by Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman and executive-turned-scribe Marc Haimes, Titans revolves around the eponymous group of young Super Heroes-to-be from the DC Universe. The action series centers on Dick Grayson (probably best known for his alter ego as Robin), who emerges from the shadow of Batman to become Nightwing, the leader of a fearless band of new Super Heroes including Starfire, Raven and many others. Goldsman executive produces, with Haimes serving as co-executive producer for WBTV’s cable division Warner Horizon.

Very cool!

Here comes the colorful leather costumes. LOTS of them. I don't see how this won't end up looking like a porn parody.

Guess I won't be seeing my boy Arsenal in this one since he is already tied up with Arrow. Beast boy could be cool but in my head the idea of a life action beast boy automatically turns in Manimal youtube.com/watch?v=HQZxRH6uoiY

Hard to pull that one off. I applaud their ambition and wish them luck, but this sounds dubious at best.

I want all of these shows (Arrow Flash, Gotham, Constantine etc etc etc) to do well so i can get more of the stuff i like. I want to see good writing and characters i enjoy. So, I guess for all of these new shows I'm pulling for them. That doesn't mean I'm going to tune into watch dreck every week but going into it i certainly want them to be good.

Let's hope it does well. I think this could be awesome just wondering how would they pull off someone like Cyborg because I don't want another Smallville version of him.

It seems this is coming and the first 6 characters according to The Nerdist are. Nightwing, Starfire, Raven, Hawk & Dove, & Oracle.

Hawk and Dove? Should we fear...

The MONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARCH?

The female to male ratio is kinda interesting.

Titans was always pretty heavy on female characters post-Cardy era. Probably one of the reasons I loved it so much. :)

Yeah it is but I honestly think that the only reason there doing Barbara is so they can immediately have a love triangle which could be not good.
