History Trivia / Titans2018

* This is notably one of the few live-action TV adaptations that's allowed to outright use 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; ironically, 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 is airing on DC's private streaming service may have something to do with it.

* LyingCreator: Anna Diop, in response to the criticism of [[WTHCostumingDepartment her appearance in set photos]], assured fans that those photos were not representative of how Starfire would actually look on the show. Then the trailer came out and it turns out the photos were spot on. This didn't help the InternetBackdraft at all.

* CaliforniaDoubling: Set in UsefulNotes/SanFrancisco, yet filmed in Toronto.

* DarkhorseCasting: 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, Ryan Potter, Alan Ritchson, Minka Kelly, and Conor Leslie. Many other actors don't even have their Wikipedia pages yet. Australian child actress Teagan Croft as Raven is especially notable, as this is her first major role outside her homeland, only having two previous TV roles back home, plus a theater role in ''Literature/ToKillAMockingbird''.

* ''Titans'' marks the live-action debut of long-serving and iconic Titan [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Donna Troy]], who had many [[ExiledFromContinuity legal issues]] in the past preventing her from appearing outside of comic books for the longest time (hence she never appeared in the 2003 animated series, and her cameo at the end of ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansTheJudasContract'' was her animated debut).

* SpoiledByTheCastList: A variation.
