To be fair, Calender Man was that way because they wanted to give him something to do that wasn't embarrassing.

The trailer makes this look more like a Batfamily than a Titans series, honestly.

I point out that Season 1 was the Raven show.

A season dedicated to a specific Titan or their world is hardly a problem.

Still, one has to be careful about making the others feel like extras or something like that.

I think Hawk and Dove had more screen time and focus in the last season than Jason.

[up][up][up] Raven’s a Titans character though. Trigon is a very common arc for the Titans franchise.

While here patrolling Gotham, dealing with Red Hood, and just generally meeting a bunch of Batman characters is specifically a Batman franchise thing and not a Titan franchise thing.

They've also stated that Blackfire will be featured in this run. I think this Gotham arc will be a "part 1" of the season.

Hopefully.

Wasn't this supposed to be a Nightwing show before they changed it?

[up] I don't think so. Akiva Goldsmith, one of the developers of The Titans has been working on various iterations of the series since, I think, the late 90's or early 2000's; since before the Nolan Batman films, at any rate. It started out as a script for a movie that would have had Dick's transition from Robin to Nightwing as it's central element, but it wouldn't even then have been just about him. He was working on turning it into a TNT series before streaming services became such a big thing, but even then it was The Titans. This particular series has spent a loooong time in Development Hell.

Is the season 3 recap going up anytime soon? The first 3 episodes have been up for like 20 hours at the time of writing and nothing.

[up] Guess the interest isn't that high.

I for one haven't seen it yet either, will binge once it is complete.

There have been reports of Vincent Kartheiser (Scarecrow) being inappropriate on set

According to sources on set, Kartheiser was accused of “disruptive, juvenile behavior and inappropriate comments”, which launched an investigation by WBTV’s Labor Relations department. Kartheiser’s behavior allegedly caused at least two complaints and two internal investigations by the studio, which resulted in the actor being dropped from the show’s publicity tour and poster. Kartheiser’s “verbal comments and outbursts,” led to the studio assigning someone to monitor his on-set behavior.

Kartheiser’s actions apparently didn’t warrant his removal from the series, but he was allegedly reprimanded by higher ups at the show. A spokesperson for the actor said, “Vincent Kartheiser vehemently denies the allegations, … Warner Bros investigated this matter and made clear to Mr. Kartheiser its expectations for behavior on the set, and he agreed to comply with their directives.”

Titans has been renewed for Season 4. In addition to its announcement on DC Fandome (2:33:09), there's a clip of the season finale (2:34:43):

So I hear that after killing her off at the end of Season 2, Donna got brought back during season 3.

Good. Poor girl's got so much shit heaped on her in the comics (mostly because everyone and their mom wants to write her definitive origin), that I'm glad her death didn't stick.

Hell, it was a stupid way for someone as strong as her to die anyway.

[actual moment from my life]

Franke Potente as Mother Mayhem?

I don't get it. Why are they getting these hot and beautiful young women to play moms and guardians?

I mean they're my age.

Oh hey I love Joseph Morgan (Klaus). Though ugh we might need better writers first since man they butchered Scarecrow last season by making him a stoner who doesn't even use Fear gas.

Iunno..

granted which Jinx they are going for is probably the infinitely more popular I can't believe its not Scarlet Witch Jinx

I blame Teen Titans for kickstarting a bunch of people's obsession with Goth Emo Girls!

Well, googling her reveals she is British Indian. Don't know why I didn't just do that when this was announced.

They'll probably give her pink hair and a goth witch outfit to for familiarity sake.

[up] The original Jinx from the comics was Indian, in case you didn't already know that.

A brand trailer, along with some clips, from New York Comic Con has been released:

Furthermore, Brandon Thwaites (Nightwing) recently did an interview with New York's PIX 11 for their NYCC coverage:

Two new episodes were released today, if you are feeling confused keep in mind that the episode that was supposed to start the final stretch of the final season (where's my gar, that co-written by ryan potter) was delayed for next week.

Some reviewers got to each all the final episodes early and unfortunately they confirm that the writing nose dived again, but at least it doesn't look quite as bad as what happened in the final stretch of seasons 2 and 3.
