Live Action Teen Titans series
 

Apparantly a live action Teen Titans series featuring Nightwing is in the works over at... TNT!! :o DC's taking over all the networks! :o

I wonder how they'll get Starfire's costume to work in live action. She might be toned down like her cartoon counterpart.

Won't live up to Young Justice. Already calling it.

It will certainly be interesting to see how this will turn out.

Its finally been confirmed!!!:D I thought they were calling it a young justice spin off though???

That would be insane. Holy sh*t.

It's nice that it only took longer than I've even been alive, but they're finally pushing Grayson as Nightwing in spin-off media the last couple years.

The Perez run on Titans was some of the best stuff ever, so if this show is using those stories as a jumping point, there's a ton of great stuff they can work with. This could be really neat.

Wow, DC is really going all at it with TV shows after the success of Arrow and how well received The Flash pilot was. So I guess if they can continue the quality of Arrow or at least be 80% as good as Arrow I'll definitely enjoy it.

Well obviously, but that's not necessarily for the worse, her costume doesn't work in live action just like Batman's doesn't.

Oh yeah, I remember reading about that. I think the Young Justice Spin off thing was just more of misinterpretation something than it actually being a spin-off.

Can't agree with this.

I found it a questionable statement as well.

For one thing, Batman's costume works perfectly fine.

For another thing, chicks who are built like Starfire, should have to dress like Starfire. That should be the rule.

Bat in the Sun have proven that Batman's costume do work in live-action form in a serious setting. The grey suit isn't just for 1940's serials or glorious Adam West.

But Starfire's costume.... It's not a very good costume, I wouldn't mind if they redesigned it to something less Skimpy.

I wonder how Beast Boy would look :-?............cool!!!:D

When did "chicks need to wear more clothes" become a thing? That makes me sad.

When Power Girl rolls on the floor cackling by looking at it, it's a wee bit too much.

Although, anything N52 Starfire should probably not even br touched with a 10 foot pole involving any.... anything.

I see your point. On the flip side, if more chicks did dress like that, the world would surely be a better place. We just need to keep nudging social norms along until "pasties" becomes an acceptable clothing choice. :tgrin:

Hmm...Akiva Goldman's been forgiven for Batman and Robin then.:D

I wonder if this means DC will probably discard what they're doing with Dick in the New 52 to synch up with their tv output when the time comes

:lol: really?????? Where are the feminists to burn you at the stake??????:lol: but then again you are pushing for the freedom of women to dress as they want so you could be praised????:lol:

I get away with a lot because I'm charming. :tlol:

I'm sure they'll dress her like her cartoon counterpart

Can't be worse than Teen Titans Go, that's for sure...

That's not saying much.

Hmm, kind of interested in this. I definitely want to see how Beast Boy will look for sure. Not sure if I'll check this out or not, but I might.

Hmm. I guess DC realizes their movies aren't as good as Marvel's, so they're trying to take over television instead (Gotham, Supergirl, Arrow, Flash, and now this).

Shooting for the pilot starts next year:

Eh c'mon, Teen Titans GO ain't that bad. At least it's clear on being a parody (unlike let's say Ultimate Spider-Man) and it's not like the Teen Titans cartoon from ten years ago didn't have huge problems.

Yeah, I always see people say this about Teen Titans Go. It's purposely bad and not comparable. It's an overthetop parody of itself. It's not for me (although the ep with Robin getting his license was great, imo), but for those who like that kind of humor, more power to them.

Welp the roster has been revealed and.... NO BEAST BOY?! WTH?! :x

So the roster is:
Dick Greyson/Robin/Nightwing
Barbara Gordon/Oracle (only she's not being called Oracle...but she's still wheelchair bound)
Raven/Rachel Roth
Starfire
Hawk/Hank Hall
Dove/Dawn Granger

Their HQ will be...Boston?!

Yes it's nice that the team mostly consists of females but it'll be weird without Beast Boy. Now to await the casting (really curious as to who'll be cast as Barbara and Raven)

I guess it's because Beast Boy would be difficult to do. Either you use CGI or use real elephants and rhinos and whatnot. Either one is expensive.

I wonder if the lack of Beast Boy is because nobody wants to put green paint all over their face.

Also where the hell is Cyborg?

Alan Cumming put on make up for Nightcrawler in X-Men 2. Dave Bautista did the same thing for Guardians of the Galaxy, so the only plausible reason would be for the special effects.

While it will be weird to see a Titans line-up without Beast Boy or Cyborg, I'm not surprised they won't appear. It would be expensive to make realistic CGI animals with a television show budget. And because of the New 52, Cyborg's now seen as a founding member of the Justice League.

Overall, still can't wait for this series.

Cyborg probably can't be used because he's a leaguer now. He's popping up in Superman v Batman and getting his own movie.

So no Beast Boy or Cyborg? Which version of Teen Titans is this based on anyway? With Rachel/Raven there and Starfire, I figured it was going to loosely be based on the New Teen Titans. Speaking of which, shouldn't Kid Flash be a part of this too?

Meh...this is one gear grind I have about DC...too many changes and retcons.

It's not really based on a specific version. Barbara was never a member of the Titans, and neither was the Hank Hall version of Hawk. Dove/Dawn Granger, however, was a brief member of the Titans in the past.

As for Kid Flash, I doubt will see him in the show. Considering the fact that the producers of the CW "Flash" series have stated in the past that the plan to somehow bring Wally into the show, as well as the fact that it's on a different network, the chances of seeing him are looking pretty slim.

TNT is a sister station of the CW so crossovers can very easily occur.

Weird roster. Hawk and Dove were barely Titans. And Babs never was. She's just gonna be there for "romantic angst" between her, Dick, and Starfire. Great, just what we need, more love triangle stuff. :roll:

Whatever, I'll give it a shot. Finally seeing a live-action Nightwing should be pretty cool.

Didn't we pretty much already see that with the Batman and Robin movie? I mean, it was just a different version of his Nightwing suit with red instead of blue....

No idea what you're talking about. No such movie exists.

All these live-action DC shows are making my head spin. They all rub me the wrong way dating back to Smallville. Gotham, Flash, Green Arrow, and now this?

I watched the first couple of episodes of each series and then I always lose interest. I don't know what it is, I can watch DC cartoons just fine unless they're too childish, but the live-action bores me to the point of tears.

Look, if you wanna block it out, that's fine, but some of us still have to face the reality that it was made..... :trazz::twink::tlol::tgrumble:

Maybe, but I doubt it.
