Teen Titans TV Series Will Be “True To The Comics”
(Copyright-DC Comics)
Network President of TNT, Kevin Reilly gave an update yesterday on the long in development live action TV series of DC’s popular Teen Titans. Reilly stated that, “The television landscape right now is well serviced on the superhero front, so we need to find a space for this show to inhabit. What we and co-writer, Akiva Goldsmith, really want to do is stay true to the source material, this really was a groundbreaking comic when it first began”
Reilly went on to say, “There were consequences to things that happened in the comic, there was the first superhero to become an addict (Roy Harper, Green Arrow’s former sidekick “Speedy“), plus a coming of age story for Robin, who feels that Batman has betrayed him”
Classic Titans
Exciting and interesting news indeed, fellow DC fanatics. Apparently the show will focus mainly on DC characters, Barbara Gordon (currently unknown whether she’ll be Oracle or Batgirl), Hawk and Dove, Raven, Starfire, and Robin.

It is, there is so much great DC stuff around at the moment, it’s becoming hard to keep up 😉 but it’s damn awesome all the same!

I agree. Did you see the season finale of Arrow yet? I really liked it.

I am still really behind on Arrow, I don’t watch TV so get the various series on dvd and then binge watch them, so I’m still in the process of catching up. 🙂

I used to do that, but now, with so many great shows, I can’t afford to do that anymore. Arrow’s one I will buy, however. I love it.

I usually wait for the inevitable sales, dvds drop in price so quickly these days. I only ever keep the DC stuff and just trade things like Game of Thrones once I have watched them, but as you said it can still be a bit expensive to keep up.
