DC Universe is many things: A video-on-demand streaming service, a digital treasure trove of DC comics new and old, an encyclopedia, and a nostalgic throwback to the old school message boards. Most importantly, though, it’s a walled garden DC Entertainment hopes you never want to leave.
DC Entertainment’s grand plans to enter the streaming service world have looked pretty bold so far, and now it won’t be long before fans in the U.S. will get to try them out. But weirdly enough, DC Universe won’t actually launch with one of its biggest hooks so far: its new Teen Titans show.
If you were to ask a casual comic book fan who the usual members of the Justice League are, you’d probably hear the standards: Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, the Martian, the fish dude, and so on. But for the past few years, DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. have been heavy-handedly trying to turn Cyborg into a core member of the League in a way that’s both narratively weird and optically questionable.
Say what you will about Titans' questionable production values, or how odd it's going to be to see a modern incarnation of the team that doesn't include Cyborg. There's one thing that the show seems as if it's definitely going to get very right: This Dick Grayson isn't the biggest Batman fan.
DC Universe has just announced its live-action Titans show, which has yet to premiere, is already getting a spin-off series: Doom Patrol, based on the exceptionally weird superteam.
DC Comics has lifted the lid on a new four-part crossover between Teen Titans, Deathstroke and Titans that will see Deathstroke once again strike out against the Teen Titans -- this time in an attempt to get at the returned Wally West, who Deathstroke believes can bring his dead son Grant (the original Ravager) back to life. It's going to be called The Lazarus Contract. Get it?
Here's a new trailer for the upcoming live-action Attack on Titan movie -- this one gives us a closer look at the titans, and I think it's safe to say the movie nails the horrifying giants.
Video: Looks like the line-up of Titans live-action series might include Barbara Gordon. The redhead known as both Batgirl and Oracle might be part of the twentysomething Titans TV show, according to a report on Nerdist.
Mostly because the best Teen Titans show -- yep, Young Justice -- has already been made. And then cancelled.
Aww. Look at the auto-Titans trying their best to protect their pilot -- even if it means destroying themselves in the process. It's the result of lacklustre artificial intelligence. But it's also kind of endearing, don't you think? They're trying their best!
