It took over 20 years, however Warner Bros. is lastly doing it: on Friday, they introduced their plans to present the Teen Titans a live-action film. Ana Noguiera, who’s already written Supergirl: World of Tomorrow, is on deck to do the unattainable and produce the teenage superhero workforce to cinematic life. Beforehand, the Titans have dabbled in each ive-action and films, albeit individually: Titans wrapped its four-season run simply final 12 months, and Teen Titans Go to the Movies! is their solely cinematic incarnation interval.
The Teen Titans have all the time been well-regarded to 1 diploma or one other again within the day, however the 2003 Cartoon Community collection made them A-listers, no less than to most people. The five-person workforce of Robin, Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, and Cyborg was extremely in style and folk got here to like that incarnation. However with the New 52, issues took a bizarre swerve with the workforce: Cyborg and Starfire received pulled from the roster to hang around with different heroes (and sport erm, controversial new seems), whereas the opposite three had been caught in a largely forgettable Teen Titans ebook. Issues have improved from Rebirth onwards, however the comics Titans have largely spent the previous many years treading water.
As with all superhero workforce making the bounce to the silver display screen, it’s a must to surprise who’s going to be on the workforce. A few of these could also be no-brainers—you may moderately determine Raven and Beast Boy on the very least will probably be members of the workforce. Others are larger query marks: we all know Damian Wayne’s going to star within the Courageous & the Daring film for Batman, and never solely was he main the Titans for a number of years within the comics, he was a part of the workforce in a number of animated movies like Justice League vs. Teen Titans and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. Equally, it’s a must to surprise if Xolo Maridueña’s Blue Beetle will pop up right here—he was a part of the workforce within the each the pre-New 52 comics and the identical animated flicks Damian was in. To not point out, there’s quantity of new-ish comedian faces like Sew and Purple Canary who might pop up right here as properly.
