DC Universe Took The “Teen” Out and Left the TITANS – Trailer Reaction

If you were excited about the DC Universe, you’re in luck. Today DC opened up pre-orders for the premiere one-stop comic book media streaming service. The monthly subscription is gonna run you up $7.99, but right now you can opt in for the Annual Membership for $74.99. That’s a very respectable price point in the grand scheme. Now, a DC fanboy like myself has already committed cash because I’m hungry for that Young Justice: Outsiders life. But DC also dropped the trailer for their flagship programming: TITANS. Now that you watched the trailer, say it with me. Fuck Batman. If the giant TV-MA warning at the beginning didn’t clue you in, the perpetual darkness of every single shot and the chanting of Madness / Madness / Madness definitely should have let you know that TITANS is a dark, gritty take on the Titans. We get a few story beats of Raven reaching out to Robin to help with her with some vague mysterious force that is coming. Other than that, we mostly get some quick action shots in a city that desperately needs more budget for lighting and final character designs.

Honestly, we got a mixed bag of things to work with here. Our boy Robin is supposed to be Dick Grayson, but he’s out here quick firing a mook’s gun and curb stomping fools. It is like he’s Jason Todd.
