“Titans”: Starts Filming Next Year, Nightwing To Lead

It looks like next year’s TV market will be cowl high with DC Comics titles.  Currently on air we have Arrow, Flash, Gotham, and Constantine, with plans in the works for CBS’s Supergirl, SyFy’s Krypton, and the LIVE ACTION Teen Titans series for TNT.  The Titans show will reportedly center around Dick Grayson (Nightwing), as he leads a band of new heroes (reportedly including Starfire, Raven and “many others”).  We’re all hoping to see other staples of the ‘Teen Titans’ also include Cyborg, Beast Boy, Miss Martian, Kid Flash, Superboy, Wonder Girl, and Arsenal / Red Arrow.

The CW president Mark Pedowitz in an AdWeek interview explained that there ‘is potential for cross-network crossovers between TNT and CW’ (both owned by Time Warner, and WB). When asked about a potential ‘Titans’ and Arrow Crossover, he stated;

“What you’ll see embedded in Flash and Arrow is that we’ll have the ability to test characters out. Is there room to grow them into the next show? I cannot tell you yet. There are discussions going on.”

We also know they are starting the cameras rolling sometime next year from this tweet from Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns at DC Comics:

The series is said to focus on Dick Grayson as he makes the move out of Batman’s shadow and changes from Robin to Nightwing. He starts a group of young heroes called the Titans and the team includes Raven and Starfire. Titans will be a one-hour drama produced by Akiva Goldsman and Marc Halmes.
