Titans
Series Premiere Friday, October 12
DC Universe’s first original offering is a far cry from your usual superhero show. “We wanted it to not be what people expect,” says executive producer Geoff Johns. His take on the Teen Titans comic books about a team of costumed vigilantes led by Batman’s former sidekick Robin, aka Detroit police detective Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites), taps into the violent tone, creating a truly gritty tale.
It kicks off with the cop hiding a secret life as a costumed crime fighter, while supernaturally gifted teen Raven (Teagan Croft) and alien Starfire (Anna Diop) find their own powers. What brings them together — along with partners Hawk and Dove (Alan Ritchson and Minka Kelly) and shape-shifting Beast Boy (Ryan Potter) — is a slow burn that mixes action, atmosphere and scares.
