The report means that the collection can be based mostly loosely on (or a minimum of resemble) Marv Wolfman and George Perez’s The New Teen Titans, through which the unique Titans “sidekick” Titans have been members however lots of them had moved previous their sidekick roles to undertake personalities and identities of their very own. Robin turned Nightwing, Wonder Girl eschewed a secret id altogether and simply turned Donna Troy, and so on.
Akiva Goldsman, who wrote Batman Without end and Batman and Robin in addition to less-awful movies like The Da Vinci Code and A Lovely Thoughts, will write the pilot. Goldsman had beforehand been connected to a movie model of the property that by no means went ahead, though lately rumors began to flow into {that a} Teen Titans film was again in growth. It appears probably these rumors have been confused and that the TV collection is not being co-developed with an unrelated characteristic movie (though something is feasible).
A child-friendly animated model of the property, Teen Titans GO!, at present airs on Cartoon Community. It changed Young Justice on the schedule, reportedly as a result of it appealed extra to youthful children and had extra merchandising potential.

A youthful, Titans-inspired model of the Justice League appeared on The CW’s Smallville.
Cyborg is called within the article particularly, which is fascinating contemplating that the character has already been forged for Batman V Superman: Daybreak of Justice.

Lately, experiences surfaced {that a} Supergirl TV collection was being developed by The Flash’s Greg Berlanti. A variety of followers have puzzled how that present would work with out being tied on to a model of Superman. It will appear that the concept of Dick Grayson working in a universe with out an on-camera Batman would increase a number of the similar questions.
