Titans Is the Next Live-Action DC TV Show, But It Won't Be on TV

It’s official: There’s another DC TV show on the way to add to your watch ist alongside Arrow, Supergirl, Flash, and like a dozen more at this point, and this time it’s a live-action Teen Titans show, which has long been in development limbo. But there’s a twist—it’s not going to be on TV, and neither is the next season of Young Justice.

Warner Bro. has just confirmed that Titans and Young Justice’s third season—titled Young Justice: Outsiders—will headline a new DC-focused digital streaming service next year. Not details were confirmed about the new platform, other than that it will “deliver an immersive experience designed just for DC fans,” so expect more than Titans and Young Justice to come to the service.




A Titans TV show had been in the works at TNT, but the show was scrapped last year. It’s hard to tell how much of that plan remains in this new version—which will be executive produced by producer Akiva Goldsman, DC Comics Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns, and DC CW TV masterminds Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter—draws on the scrapped show, but it will seemingly at least star a few classic Titan characters. Dick Grayson, Starfire, and Raven are all mentioned in the press release, describing the show as following “a group of young soon-to-be Super Heroes recruited from every corner of the DC Universe,” as Dick prepares to lead a new team of young heroes to safeguard the world.

Meanwhile, Young Justice’s long-awaited third season will tackle the dark concept of meta-human trafficking, as the team and society at large is “caught in the crossfire of a genetic arms race spanning the globe and the galaxy.”


Doh! aurorabenz07 out scooped me by a few minutes.

Didn't Netflix collect data etc. to see if a third season of Young Justice is viable? As in: Wasn't Netflix supposed to do that third season?

Great , yet another streaming service

Oh, joy, someone else starting a streaming service.

After reading this....

I won't be paying for any more of those, they seem to be run by idiots.

As of now, if it's not on Sky, I won't be watching it.

This is why I BitTorrent...

the idea of a "dc channel" is exciting.

i can only hope they include donna and wally in some way.

Donna... don't tease me, bro. I don't need to have false hope about Donna being in the show.

Mixed feelings about this.

Well on the plus side, this means TITANS won't have to be heavy on the token soap opera drama Arrow, Flash, and Supergirl tends to have. I'll wait to get more info as more details are released but maybe this is DC's answer to Marvel's Netflix shows

Are you kidding? It's a show involving teens, it's practically mandated that there will be soap opera-levels of drama and angst. If anything it could be worse than what's seen on the CW shows. LOL

True. This is practically begging for a Dick/Kory/Barbara triangle... (Dick-Kory/Barbara/Donna anime-style harem?)

I dunno, most anime harem protagonists tend to be on the clueless side, and it's tough to imagine them making the protégé of Batman that clueless and unobservant.

Also true. Still, "clueless and unobservant about a potential harem" would be a fun counterpoint to "hyperobservant about everything else".

i know right.

if anything i would imagine them working from Titans vs JLA and the Judas Contract which at the end of the JC had Wondergirl (in a somewhat hideous version of her classic red jumper) joining the team so Donna may finally be in the titans.

Not ideal...but the animated DC version of the Titans has shown to have both Wally and speedy as well as Bumblebee as original members of the team. an ongoing series might give everyone a chance to shine.

It is totally possible that the profit numbers Netflix works on are right, including the conclusions made from it, and the real problem is the majority of the audience. Or people in total

Teen Titans live action show and a new young justice season sounds so cool but then why isn't it on tv and on a new streaming device! Can't they just put it on a existing one, of course they want to make money but there is already so many like now even youtube has shows and you have t pay for them!

Well that's more shows I wont be seeing.

Really tired of all these stupid streaming services and their exclusive content, just a waste of money.
