It took over 20 years, however Warner Bros. is lastly doing it: on Friday, they introduced their plans to provide the Teen Titans a live-action film. Ana Noguiera, who’s already written Supergirl: World of Tomorrow, is on deck to do the inconceivable and convey the teenage superhero crew to cinematic life. Beforehand, the Titans have dabbled in each ive-action and films, albeit individually: Titans wrapped its four-season run simply final yr, and Teen Titans Go to the Movies! is their solely cinematic incarnation interval.
The Teen Titans have at all times been well-regarded to at least one diploma or one other again within the day, however the 2003 Cartoon Community collection made them A-listers, at the least to most of the people. The five-person crew of Robin, Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, and Cyborg was extremely widespread and people got here to like that incarnation. However with the New 52, issues took a bizarre swerve with the crew: Cyborg and Starfire bought pulled from the roster to hang around with different heroes (and sport erm, controversial new appears), whereas the opposite three have been caught in a largely forgettable Teen Titans guide. Issues have improved from Rebirth onwards, however the comics Titans have largely spent the previous a long time treading water.
As with all superhero crew making the bounce to the silver display screen, it’s important to surprise who’s going to be on the crew. A few of these could also be no-brainers—you’ll be able to fairly determine Raven and Beast Boy on the very least shall be members of the crew. Others are greater 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 crew in a number of animated movies like Justice League vs. Teen Titans and Teen Titans: The Judas Contract. Equally, it’s important to surprise if Xolo Maridueña’s Blue Beetle will pop up right here—he was a part of the crew within the each the pre-New 52 comics and the identical animated flicks Damian was in. To not point out, there’s a superb quantity of new-ish comedian faces like Sew and Pink Canary who may pop up right here as effectively.
