As San Diego Comic-Con kicks off in force today, DC Universe, the new streaming service, has released the first trailer for ‘Titans‘, their upcoming live-action take on the Teen Titans.
Written and produced by Akiva Goldsman (‘Star Trek: Discovery’, ‘The Dark Tower’, ‘Fringe’), DC God Geoff Johns (‘The Flash’, ‘Arrow’) and the Arrowverse’s Greg Berlanti, the tv series centres around Dick Grayson, aka Batman’s partner, Robin. After years as part of the Dynamic Duo, Dick struggled to find his place outside the Dark Knight’s shadow. Finally striking out as his own man, he emerges as a leader, mentor and father figure to his new family, the Titans.
Brenton Thwaites (‘Home & Away’, ‘Maleficent’) stars as Dick Grayson, Teagan Croft (‘Home and Away’, ‘The Osiris Child’) is starring as Raven, Anna Diop (’24: Legacy’) plays Starfire, and Ryan Potter (‘Big Hero 6’) takes the role of Beast Boy. Alan Ritchson (‘Smallville’) plays Hawk with Minka Kelly (‘Friday Night Lights’) rounding out the members of the Titans playing his partner Dove.
DC Universe will be available at launch on iOS, Android, Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and Android TV, as well as the web and mobile web… BUT only in the United States… for now… which is rather frustrating for those of us this side of the pond.
DC has yet to release any information on the international rollout, but we will let you know when we have something. For those of you in the US, you can register for an opportunity for beta access in August (full launch coming in the “Fall”) at dcuniverse.com.
