Raven is homeless and on the run, Starfire is on the other side of the globe on the run. Not only is the show visually dark but the characters are dark as well. Whether it was Dick Grayson talking about his old partner/mentor in Gotham, Raven trying to find her place in the world, or Dove trying to be the voice of reason, there is a deep history in each character that we will see unfold. As the two episodes progressed you do feel for the characters. Each has their own issues and demons to face. The show portrays the Titans as broken characters. There is a bit of Starfire who steals every moment she’s on screen and a brief moment with Beast Boy. The first two episodes center around Raven and Dick Grayson, along with a heavy dose of Hawk and Dove. Hawk (of Hawk and Dove) was the comic relief in most of the episode and every joke hits everyone in the audience was having a good time with it. “F*** Batman” was not he only expletive there are quite a few, and at times it felt like a Deadpool movie with lots of cursing and humor, but it’s not too over-the-top. This is a show for mature audiences and is definitely not something for children. I feel that it works for what this series is trying to achieve. Visually, the show is very dark and honestly reminds me of a Snyder/Fong production. It seems like this will happen naturally as they cross paths, as if it was destiny. Robin isn’t out to form the Titans from the get go. This “team up” show is pretty refreshing. While Gregg Berlanti is involved in the development of this series, there is nothing “CW” about Titans. ![]() In fact, there is a Robin warehouse scene that reminds me of the fan-favorite moment from Batman v Superman! Titans is brutal and bloody like The Punisher they did not hold back on the action sequences. ![]() The action is right up there with any Daredevil fight scene. If anything, this show falls in line more with Marvel’s Daredevil and The Punisher on Netflix. On top of that, everyone was desperately waiting to see the “F*** Batman” scene in context, as that was the most talked about part of the trailer.Īfter seeing it for myself, I can say that Titans is unlike any DC show on television. Most fans weren’t happy with the trailer and that was a topic of conversation at the premiere. DC Comics kicked off New York Comic Con with a bang, premiering not just one episode of the new DC Universe series Titans but two! This past summer at San Diego Comic Con, DC Universe released the first trailer for the show.
