We’re lower than a day away from the premiere of the flagship sequence from DC Universe making its return on the streaming service, and die exhausting followers are excited to search out out what’s subsequent on Titans. The second season will cope with the fast menace of Trigon, and whereas there are different enemies ready within the wings, the heroes must work out the best way to save Dick Grayson who has seemingly embraced his darkish facet. As followers will recall, the primary season of Titans ended with a imaginative and prescient wherein Dick murdered his mentor Batman after the Caped Crusader seemingly started killing his enemies.
Whereas Dick has already burned his Robin go well with, he has but to tackle his iconic Titans persona of Nightwing, and plenty of followers are questioning if that may occur this season. I managed to talk with Titans showrunner Greg Walker for an interview with ComicBook and requested if the Nightwing costume and persona would lastly present up within the second season of Titans.
“It is within the shadows, so keep tuned in the event you really need Nightwing data this season, I believe you may be glad by the tip of the 12 months,” mentioned Walker.
That is a powerful sufficient tease that followers will lastly get to see Nightwing within the new season of Titans. However Batman, performed by actor Iain Glenn, will nonetheless weigh closely on Dick’s thoughts as he forges his new manner with these younger metahumans who look as much as him.
“Nicely Bruce was an enormous character on our present final 12 months, you simply did not see him, I imply for essentially the most half. For Dick, he was omnipresent and it felt like we actually wanted to dive into Dick’s relationship with Bruce to essentially perceive Dick higher,” Walker defined. “I used to be actually excited as a author to enter Bruce Wayne. There’s been a lot carried out about Batman however there’s not a ton about about being Bruce Wayne… Bruce is basically superior at being Batman, he is form of crappy at being Bruce. We needed to work on Bruce Wayne making an attempt to revive that relationship with Dick in a manner get again to an up to date model of father and son.”
He added, “It may by no means be the Batman and Robin model anymore as a result of Dick has grown previous that and rebelled in opposition to it, however what may or not it’s if it goes previous that? You must cope with forgiveness and shifting on and form of grownup themes, so I used to be actually enthusiastic about writing that. Iain, he has a lot stature, he’s such a gifted actor along with his grace and magnificence and weight that he can deal with the drama of a person struggling to cope with his estranged son higher than anyone I may consider.”
We’ll get to see how Dick and Bruce lastly bury the hatchet within the new season of the DC Universe sequence. Titans returns to the streaming service on Friday, September sixth.
