History Trivia / Titans2018

* IKnewIt:
** Once the trailer for episode 11 was released, a lot of fans predicted that many of the events would be Trigon giving Dick hallucinations.
** In Japan, some fans predicted either Creator/YuukiKaji or anyone else from the Japanese voice cast from ''Manga/AttackOnTitan'' would end working in the dub of this series due to the sole name of the show. Not only they got it right on the former, he also managed to voice Robin, the leader of the titular team.[[note]]Albeit he already voiced Robin before in ''Anime/BatmanNinja''.[[/note]]

** Due to a RaceLift, Chief is played by Mexican Bruno Bichir.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The show suffered so many changes that it needed its [[WhatCouldHaveBeen/Titans2018 own page]] in this matter.

*** The Japanese one is also pretty notorious on this, as it also replaced all the long-time voice actors from the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'''s era, considering they also dubbed them in both ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' and most Japanese dubs of the DCAU. The only exception is Creator/YuukiKaji as Robin, as he already voiced him before in ''Anime/BatmanNinja'', although as the Damian Wayne iteration of Robin instead of Dick Grayson.

*** Dick was voiced by Sergio Cantú, the voice actor of his Nightwing version in the second season of ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice''.

** Robin's actor Creator/BrentonThwaites is Australian. As is Raven's actress Teagan Croft and Superboy's actor Joshua Orpin.

* McLeaned: [[spoiler: The reason why Hank Hall is killed off in the third episode of season three is due to his actor Creator/AlanRitchson leaving the show to star in ''Series/{{Reacher}}''.]]

*** The Japanese one is also pretty notorious on this, as it also replaced all the long-time voice actors from the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'''s era, considering they also dubbed them in both ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice'' and most Japanese dubs of the DCAU. The only exception is Creator/YuukiKaji as Robin, as he already voiced him before in ''Anime/BatmanNinja'', although as the Damian Wayne iteration of Robin instead of Dick Grayson.

*** Gar and Kory got the same voices from ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans'': Charles Emmanuel and Luisa Palomanes, respctively. It works well because they use their natural voices here, while, in the cartoon, they raised the pitch.

** The Japanese dub zig-zag this: From the voice cast of the titular team so far, only Creator/YuukiKaji (Robin) and Creator/ChiakiOmigawa (Raven) are the only well-known faces in the cast. Yui Kano's (Starfire) mostly known role was as Irma in ''Anime/QueensBlade'' and Mark Ishii (Beast Boy) is known for {{Mecha}} fans as the voice of the main hero Bellri Zenam in ''Anime/GundamReconguistaInG''[[note]]And ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsX'' as well.[[/note]] (which was also his debut role as a voice actor) and Lev Haiba in ''Manga/{{Haikyuu}}'', while Shouya Chiba (Jason Todd) is better known as Hayato Akiyama in ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterSideM''.

* FanNickname: Many fans have already slapped this show's version of Koriand'r with the unfortunate nickname of "Hookerfire" due to her [[WTHCostumingDepartment poorly-received outfit]] strongly resembling a prostitute.

* McLeaned: [[spoiler: The reason why Hank Hall is killed off in the third episode of season three is due to his actor Creator/AlanRitchson leaving the show to star in Creator/PrimeVideo's ''Literature/JackReacher'' TV series.]]

* This is notably one of the few live-action TV adaptations that's allowed to outright use Franchise/{{Batman}} complete with onscreen appearances, whereas DC normally enforces an embargo to prevent audiences from being "confused" by the different continuities ([[ViewersAreMorons apparently they don't think audiences are smart enough to know what an alternate continuity is]])[[note]]this had the side effect of ComicBook/GreenArrow being used in his place, most notably seen in ''Series/{{Smallville}}''; ironically, for a while, Green Arrow himself was seen as a poor man's substitute for Batman[[/note]]. The fact that it's separate from the ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'' and was initially airing on DC's private streaming service may have something to do with it. However, he was mostly TheGhost in season 1, played by stunt actors in a hallucation in the season 1 finale, whereas in season 2, he does physically appear, but ''only'' as Bruce Wayne.

** Many actors are of a lesser-known variety as opposed to well-known stars. The best known of the actors announced so far are probably Creator/BrentonThwaites, Creator/RyanPotter, Creator/AlanRitchson, Creator/MinkaKelly, and Creator/ConorLeslie. Many other actors don't even have their Wikipedia pages yet. Australian child actress Creator/TeaganCroft as Raven is especially notable, as this is her first major role outside her homeland, only having two previous TV roles and a film back home, plus a theater role in ''Literature/ToKillAMockingbird''.

** Joey Wilson/Jericho is mute and communicates with ASL. He is played by Deaf actor Chella Man.
** The wheelchair user Barbara Gordon will be portrayed by amputee actress Savannah Welch.

* LyingCreator: Brenton Thwaites raised a lot of fans' hackles when he said that Dick split from Batman because Batman became a killer, yet nothing in the show outright confirms this and when Batman finally appears, Dick is shocked that he violates his one "no-kill" rule against both criminals and cops. Even then, this is all inside Dick's head courtesy of Trigon. Though to be fair, given all the changes the show has gone through behind the scenes, Thwaites' comment may be less a "lie" and more of a WhatCouldHaveBeen.

* RoleReprise: A very interesting cross-continuity one happens in the Latin American Spanish dub: Bruce Wayne is voiced by Sergio Gutierrez Coto, who already voiced him in the dubs of ''Film/TheDarkKnightTrilogy'' films, through only in the first season, since Creator/GerardoReyero voices him in the second one.

* TakeThatTitForTat: The promo "To Deadpool With Love" responds to the joke from ''Film/Deadpool2'' about DC being too dark.
** Ironically, Creator/BrentonThwaites and Creator/AlanRitchson appeared alongside ''Deadpool'' actor Karan Soni in ''Film/OfficeUprising'', which was released the same year as ''Deadpool 2'', and Creator/ConorLeslie previously starred with Soni in ''Series/OtherSpace''.
