Reports of a “Titans” TV series first surfaced in September, with Akiva Goldsman and Mark Haimes cited as executive producers. The show will reportedly draw influence from the classic “New Teen Titans” comics by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez; centering on Nightwing, with early accounts also listing Starfire and Raven as part of the team.
While Dick Grayson has appeared in live action as Robin before, notably played by Burt Ward in the ’60s “Batman” series and Chris O’Donnell in the ’90s movies, no actor has yet donned the characters signature blue and black suit. It looks like “Titans” aims to fix that.
