HBO Max has released the full trailer for ‘Titans‘ Season 3, which premieres in August across the pond in the (no word yet on when Netflix will air it in the UK).
Titans’ follows Dick Grayson, aka the former Robin (Brenton Thwaites), who emerges from the shadows as Nightwing to lead a band of heroes – including Starfire (Anna Diop), Raven (Teagan Croft), Beast Boy (Ryan Potter) and others. The story follows this group of young heroes as they come of age and find belonging.
Season 3 has our heroes heading to Gotham City and will see them reunite with old friends and face new threats… The trailer sets up some interesting little bits and pieces. As we saw in the previous teaser, Jason Todd (Curran Walters) looks set to meet a version of his comic book fate of being beaten to death with a crowbar by The Joker. This tragedy seems to have pushed Bruce (Iain Glen) to hang up the cowl, and attempt to pass it over to Dick, asking him to “be a better Batman”.
Dick doesn’t appear to have taken Bruce up on the offer (yet, at least), sticking with his Nightwing persona. However, the Titans are having to deal with a new apparent villain in Gotham in the form of Red Hood. Of course, for those of you who know your comic books, you know that should be Jason Todd under the mask, but we’ll have to see exactly how things play out.
We do know a few of the other new characters which will pop up this season. Savannah Welch (‘The Tree of Life’, ‘Boyhood’) is set to play Barbara Gordon, who is Gotham’s police commissioner, and Jay Lycurgo (‘I May Destroy You’, ‘Doctors’) is taking the role of Robin #3, Tim Drake. ‘Mad Men’ and ‘Angel’ star Vincent Kartheiser takes the role Dr. Jonathan Crane, aka Scarecrow, in this iteration, an Arkham Asylum inmate who offers his services as a profiler and consultant for the GCPD.
Season 3 will also see Joshua Orpin return as Connor/Superboy, Conor Leslie as Donna Troy/Wondergirl, Joshua Orpin as Conner Kent/Superboy, Alan Ritchson as Hank Hall/Hawk and Minka Kelly as Dawn Granger/Dove, along with Damaris Lewis returning as Starfire’s sister, Blackfire.
‘Titans‘ Season 3 is set to premiere Thursday, August 12, 2021, on HBO Max in the USA with the first 3 episodes. It will then drop as a box set at some point after that on Netflix in the UK. We don’t know exactly when, but the last two seasons have landed in January, so January 2022 seems likely, although it could be earlier. If you want to keep track of this show you can add it via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when it gets a UK premiere date.
