A new poster for the upcoming DC Universe seriesTitanshas been released online. The original series is the first show on DC’s exclusive streaming service and presents a gritty take on young heroes from the classic Teen Titans franchise, including Dick Grayson (aka Robin) and Rachel Roth (Raven), as well as Starfire and Beast Boy. This poster showcases the quartet in full costume, all of whom are showing off their individual powers whileBrenton Thwaites’ Robin looks battered and bruised.
Indeed, the first trailer forTitansconfirmed this show isverygritty with the now-iconic line from Robin of “Fuck Batman.” That kind of dialogue seemed a bit incongruous with an aesthetic that’s more in line with Warner Bros.’ CW series, and it’ll be interesting to see how fans react to the 12-episode first season ofTitanswhen it premieres next month.
The series hails from showrunnerGreg Walker, whose credits include the TV seriesVegasandWithout a Trace. ButTitansis far from the only show on the DC Universe—the next series will be the live-actionDoom Patrol, led byBrendan Fraser, while a standaloneStargirlseries and aSwamp Thingseriesare also poised to debut in 2019.
Check out theTitansposter below. The first episode will premiere at New York Comic-Con next week, and the series will be available exclusively on DC Universe on October 12th.
