''Titans'' is a live-action superhero series, based on the Creator/DCComics team ''ComicBook/TeenTitans''.

''Titans'' follows [[ComicBook/{{Nightwing}} Dick Grayson]] (Creator/BrentonThwaites), the former sidekick of [[Franchise/{{Batman}} Bruce Wayne / Batman]] (Creator/IainGlen, season two onwards) who was once known as ComicBook/{{Robin}}. After leaving Gotham to make a name for himself outside of Bruce's shadow, he encounters a group of fellow super-powered individuals and forms a new lineup of Titans, the team of young heroes he used to be a member of. Among them are [[ComicBook/{{Raven}} Rachel Roth]] (Creator/TeaganCroft), a troubled teenager who harbors a dark, demonic power; [[ComicBook/{{Starfire}} Kory Anders]] (Creator/AnnaDiop), an alien from the planet Tamaran; and Gar Logan (Creator/RyanPotter), a metahuman who has the ability to transform into animals.

The first season focuses on the Titans getting to know each other while facing the Organization, which seeks to bring forth the demon Trigon, Rachel's birth father, to Earth. They're later joined by the surviving members of the old Titans: [[ComicBook/HawkAndDove Hank Hall]] (Creator/AlanRitchson), [[ComicBook/HawkAndDove Dawn Granger]] (Creator/MinkaKelly), and [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy]] (Creator/ConorLeslie), as well as [[ComicBook/RedHood Jason Todd]] (Creator/CurranWalters), the new Robin, sent by Bruce to assist Dick.

The second season sees Dick and the rebuilt Titans fighting their archnemesis, [[ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} Slade Wilson]] (Creator/EsaiMorales), who returns when his daughter, Rose (Creator/ChelseaZhang), gets tied up with them. The Titans also find themselves pit against Cadmus Laboratories after they provide shelter to [[ComicBook/{{Superboy}} Conner]] (Joshua Orpin), a clone of Franchise/{{Superman}} created by them. While the first season [[WalkingTheEarth does not have a permanent setting]], the Titans set shop at the old Titans Tower in San Francisco for the second season.

The third season, a loose adaptation of ''ComicBook/ADeathInTheFamily'' and ''[[WesternAnimation/BatmanUnderTheRedHood Under the Red Hood]]'', moves the setting to Gotham. Jason, after having been presumed dead, resurfaces as a terrorist known as the Red Hood, who vows to become Gotham's dictator by consolidating all criminal elements. With the departure of Batman, the Titans must deal with threats posed by Jason and [[Characters/BatmanRoguesGalleryPart2 Scarecrow]] (Creator/VincentKartheiser), who is in league with him. Along the way, they have to navigate the whims of the Gotham City Police Department, headed by Commissioner [[ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Barbara Gordon]] (Savannah Welch). The Titans also welcome a new member: Blackfire (Damaris Lewis), Kory's uncontrollable younger sister.

Produced by Creator/GeoffJohns, Creator/GregBerlanti, Akiva Goldsman, and Sarah Schechter, ''Titans'' was created for the Creator/DCUniverse streaming service after [[SavedFromDevelopmentHell previously being in development]] at Creator/{{TNT}} since 2014. The series premiered on DC Universe in the United States on October 12, 2018, with Creator/{{Netflix}} handling international distribution. After a Creator/WarnerMedia restructuring transformed DC Universe into a digital comics reader, the show [[ChannelHop moved]] to Creator/HBOMax beginning with its third season and started streaming new episodes for the service on August 12, 2021. Ahead of the third season premiere, TNT (its aforementioned original home) also began airing the first season on July 12 of that year. The fourth and final season aired on November 3, 2022.

As of ''Series/{{Crisis on Infinite Earths|2019}}'', ''Titans'' is represented in the Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} multiverse as Earth-9. The fourth episode of series introduced the superhero group ComicBook/DoomPatrol, which later got [[Series/DoomPatrol2019 their own series]]. Despite initial statements and the ''Doom Patrol'' cast reprising their roles in the spin-off, the two series are not set in the same universe. [[note]]''Doom Patrol'' is officially Earth-21[[/note]]

** Rachel, her father is SatanExpy who created her for the sole purpose of bringing him on Earth dimension to install HellOnEarth. But in order to do that, he has to break her heart, which he does, with the help of [[ManipulativeBitch her mother]] and an almost dead Garfield.

** Angela Azarath plays the role of a Lilith in the show. Yeah, so a woman named [[IronicName "Angela"]] showed her middle finger to those angelic beings in the moment she willingly has left herself impregnated by Trigon, basically SatanExpy, gave birth to his daughter and made sure she will release Trigon from his prison to enslave the Universe.

** While the main villains in the first 2 seasons are males: Trigon, a world conquering SatanExpy and Slade, a metahuman who is also deadliest assassin alive, are [[spoiler:taken down by their own daughters with relative ease]].

** Trigon, a SatanExpy and a GodOfEvil, is also Rachel's father, and had no problems with literally ripping the heart out of his own daughter.

* CoitusEnsues:
** Dick and Kory sleeping together for the first time in 1x05, given they've known each other only a very short (hostile) time.
** Hawk and Dove in their flash back episode.
** Donna Troy and [[spoiler:Garth]].

* TellMeHowYouFight: During a sparring between Dick and Rose, they discuss about fighting, expressing different views on it that can be seen even in their WeaponOfChoice. Rose chooses the deadly, quick [[KatanasAreJustBetter katana]], reflecting her elegant fighting style, [[DanceBattler full with dancing movements]], but ready to give deadly blows at every turn. Dick instead has just a wooden staff, and his style is less about the killing blow and more about [[ThouShaltNotKill defense and knowing when to spare a life]]. Rose breaks his wooden stuff at the end, but he still defeats her.

* WeaponOfChoice:

* WretchedHive: Implied, but it would be no wonder when it comes to Gotham City. While we see the city only in Dick's hallucinations as being a dangerous place to live in, a few characters make not very light statements about the city; like Jason's harsh life on the streets, the fact that many of its most dangerous criminals exist within ''Titanverse'' and Batman's own existence all seem to indicate this. When we finally see it, there's a RunningGag about how awful they can make it with nightly curfews and entire regions of the city that are no-go areas.

** Season 2 takes it UpToEleven with almost every episode having a cliffhanger.

** Season 3 even takes it UpToEleven with the revived characters:

* AdaptationDistillation: Much like its [[WesternAnimation/YoungJustice animated]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans predecessors]], ''Titans'' combines several elements of the Wolfman and Perez age of the comics with the modern runs, and even some elements of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'', changing or simplifying storylines and characters.

** The founding members of the Titans in this adaptation are Robin, Hawk, Dove and Wonder Girl, with Aqualad being the first recruit. In the comics, it was formed by Robin, Speedy, Kid Flash and Aqualad, while ComicBook/WonderGirl was the first recruit when the team was officially named. The second Titans team is formed by same Robin, but this time with Kory, Raven and Beast Boy. This brings it in line with the second run of the comics titled [[ComicBook/TeenTitans ''New Teen Titans'']] and the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans famous animated series]], though other members are expected to join the core team later.

** Kory and Donna are the worst offenders. In the comics, both are super fast [[FlyingBrick Flying Bricks]] with enough [[SuperStrength raw power]] to keep up with Wonder Woman, especially Kory. Here, Kory cannot shoot her eye beams, none of them can fly, and their SuperStrength is reduced to a more realistic level.

* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed.]] Dick Grayson wants the man who killed his parents, Tony Zucco, dead. Instead of killing him personally, though, [[MurderByInaction he allows Maroni thugs to gun him down.]]

* {{Bishonen}}:
** Beast Boy is half Japanese and half Caucasian.
** Jericho too.

* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: The male Titans are either {{Pretty Boy}}s (Jason [[{{Bishonen}} Gar, Jericho]]), {{Hunk}}s (Hank, Garth), or both (Dick, Conner).

** Just like in [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans the animated series]], Robin is Dick Grayson, but has Tim Drake's bo staff.

** Rose Wilson borrows some characteristics from Terra's [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans animated version]]; from [[spoiler:being trained and manipulated by Slade to spy on the Titans only to realize he deceived her and take him down like Terra]], to her short-lived affair with Jason Todd.

** Rachel is just as deadpan as her [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans animated counterpart]].

* PrisonEpisode: Most of [[Recap/TitansS2E10Fallen Fallen]] and [[Recap/TitansS2E11ELO E.L._.0]] centers around an incarcerated Dick in a Nevada prison after attacking two cops in previous episodes. The two episodes show Dick going through an important emotional and psychological transformation leading to him finally finding his own hero path.

* RuderAndCruder: As a result of the more darker take on the comics, the show also uses quite a lot of profanity, with every character dropping the f-bomb even several times on the same sentence, which is a big departure from the comics, despite the TruerToTheText adaptation. Is not that in the comics, the characters never used swearwords, but they never used any profanity stronger than PG-13 like "hell" and "damn", and occasionally "son of a bitch". This was mostly done to avoid the show to be seen as a live adaptation of a [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans certain insanely popular cartoon]], which led to the infamous "Fuck Batman" in the promotional trailer, said by no other, but Dick Grayson.

* TruerToTheText: This is the first ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' series to fully embrace the [[DarkerAndEdgier maturity and grit]] of the comics, whereas the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitans animated series]] had to be LighterAndSofter to be acceptable for young audiences, and the [[WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo gag series]] caters solely to children.

* AbsenteeActor: Very obvious in Season 2 because of the increasing of the main cast. In a similar fashion to WesternAnimation/YoungJustice, almost each episode will mostly focus on 3 or 4 storylines, while some characters will not appear at all.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters:
** Season 2 goes a little overboard with the number of new main characters, since it features all four mains from season 1, it adds the original Titans (Hank, Dawn, and Donna) as well as Jason Todd and Rose Wilson as mains in addition to introducing new faces.
** The showrunners recognized that there were frequent disruptions to the storytelling thanks to Season 2's large cast. While Season 3 adds a new Titan (Blackfire) and a non-Titan main (Barbara), it removes four others (Rose, Jericho, Hank, and Dawn), and keeps Rachel and Donna away from Gotham until the last few episodes, so the story can focus solely on the Red Hood arc. Tim Drake, while touted as the third Robin, is kept mostly out of conflict, as having him tag along the group would have felt like a retread of Jason's Season 1 arc.

As of ''Series/{{Crisis on Infinite Earths|2019}}'', ''Titans'' is represented in the Series/{{Arrowverse}} multiverse as Earth-9. The fourth episode of series introduced the superhero group ComicBook/DoomPatrol, which later got [[Series/DoomPatrol2019 their own series]]. Despite initial statements and the ''Doom Patrol'' cast reprising their roles in the spin-off, the two series are not set in the same universe. [[note]]''Doom Patrol'' is officially Earth-21[[/note]]

** ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}, who is white in the comics and all of his previous live-action incarnations (save for the Series/{{Arrowverse}} version who AmbiguouslyBrown) is played by Creator/EsaiMorales, who is Puerto Rican. His son and daughter, Joe Wilson/Jericho and Rose Wilson/Ravager, are also been given race lifts and will be played by Chella Man and Chelsea Zhang, who are both Chinese.

** [[GodOfEvil Trigon]] and [[DarthVaderClone Slade]], probably DC's most infamous examples, though none of them touch the epic-scale manipulations of their comic counterparts.
