Now that they see the network and this show will work hopefully they'll pump some more money in the budget! Season had a few valleys but more peaks! I'm looking forward to season 2! Loved how they did the Hawk origin story!

I know I'm late. Just finished watching. I'm not the comic head that most seem to be here. I wasn't that enamored with this. Ending up zooming through alot of scenes. Including that whole dream shit in the finale. Since we all knew it was a dream right from the beginning. Seemed like a waste of time and I just cut to the MFing chase at the end. DC main problem is this alternate universe shit. I don't need two Robins, two Flashes, extra Supermen. How about establishing ONE storyline before veering off into others? Establish one world. One story. Shit is way too topsy turvy to follow. Shit is like Back to the Future 2 on crack.

Side note: Terry Tate Office Linebacker as the Circus Strongman was pretty cool casting. Even though he was dumb af.

Titans’ Casting: Joshua Orpin Suiting Up As Superboy For DC Universe Series

The Titans cast just added some major Kryptonian muscle: Joshua Orpin has joined the ensemble for the series regular role of Conner Kent, aka Superboy, a key character in the upcoming second season of the superhero series on the DC Universe subscription streaming service.


Orpin, a Melbourne native and graduate of the prestigious Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts, will be seen in the upcoming Foxtel drama series Upright and his most recent appearance was in The Blake Mysteries: Ghost Storiesfor the Seven Network in his native Australia. Orpin made his feature-film debut in The Neon Spectrum while his stage credits include A Midsummer Nights Dream for the Australian Shakespeare Company, The Matchmaker, TheTempestand The Diary of Anne Frank.

The name Superboy has a long but somewhat twisty history in the pages of DC Comics and on the small screen as well. The original Superboy was introduced in More Fun Comics #101 in 1945 as the junior alias of teenager Clark Kent during his school years in Smallville, the rural Kansas town where the future Man of Steel was raised. That Superboy has made his first successful leap to television with his own animated 1960s series and followed it with a syndicated live-action college-years Superboy series (100 episodes from 1988-1992) and then returned again with Smallville (217 episodes from 2001-2011) although that series opted to eschew the Superboy name and classic costume; star Tom Welling was simply introduced as Clark Kent.

The Superboy that is joining Titans for their upcoming season is based on the more modern namesake character who first arrived in the pages of DC Comics in the June 1993 issue of Adventures of Superman. Created by writer Karl Kesel and artist Tom Grummett, this Superboy was the alias of Conner Kent, who was introduced as a genetically-engineered clone of Superman. That origin story has been tweaked several times over the years and may be revamped yet again for Titans. The character appeared briefly in a fleeting, shadowy cameo in the Season One finale of Titans, which depicted the Teen of Steel escaping the confines of a secret laboratory after pausing to free his caged Kryptonian canine companion, Krypto the Super-Dog.

The character’s official description from the producers of the Titans series: “Superboy, aka Conner Kent, is the angsty teenager of steel searching for purpose and the truth about his past. While looking for answers, he crashes into the world of the Titans where he finds an unlikely home and surrogate family as well as revelations that carry more complications than he ever bargained for.”

Titans features the superhero squad that’s led by Batman’s former sidekick, Robin (Brenton Thwaites), and includes the hot-tempered alien princess Starfire (Anna Diop), the mysterious empath Raven (Teagan Croft), and the green-skinned shape-shifter Beast Boy (Ryan Potter).

Orpin is represented by RGM Artists and Stone, Genow, Smelkinson, Binder & Christopher.

Titans’: Esai Morales Joins DC Universe As Deathstroke


EXCLUSIVE:The Titans just made a killer cast addition: Esai Morales will portray Deathstroke, the fan-favorite assassin and archenemy of Teen Titans leader Dick Grayson.

The Titans, the first original programming franchise for the DC Universe subscription steaming site, launched in September and finished its first season in December. The weekly show follows the superhero squad that’s led by Batman’s former sidekick, Robin, aka Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites), and includes the hot-tempered alien princess Starfire (Anna Diop), the mysterious empath Raven (Teagan Croft), and the green-skinned shape-shifter Beast Boy (Ryan Potter).

That Titans line-up of characters was introduced with much fanfare in the pages of DC Comics back in 1980. The team, created by Marv Wolfman and George Perez, didn’t have to wait long to find their signature antagonist: Deathstroke the Terminator was introduced in issue No. 2 of The New Teen Titans in December 1980.

The character bio from the show’s producers: “Slade Wilson is known for being DC’s deadliest assassin. While serving his country, Slade became an elite soldier before government testing enhanced his physiology to near superhuman levels, putting him on a path of darkness and revenge. To his family, Slade is a father and husband, but to the rest of the world, he is feared by many as the infamous Deathstroke; selling his services to the highest bidder as the ruthless assassin that never gives up and never misses.”

The character is well known to fans of the popular Teen Titans animated series from Cartoon Network as well as the show’s 2018 tie-in feature film Teen Titans Go! to the Movies. Deathstroke has also been portrayed by Manu Bennett in 36 episodes of The CW series Arrow while Joe Manganiello (True Blood) appeared as the assassin in the 2017 feature film Justice League but only with an uncredited cameo.

The DC Comics character represents an interesting footnote in Marvel Comics history. The character Deadpool, portrayed by Ryan Reynolds in the popular R-rated Fox film franchise, was created by Fabian Nicieza and Rob Liefeld in 1990 as a thinly disguised version of the DC villain. Not only do the characters share similar costumes, Deadpool’s alias is Wade Wilson, which in fact rhymes with Slade Wilson.

Adding a bit more confusion for casual fans, both Deadpool and Deathstroke have similar attributes to Deadshot, a DC Comics villain introduced in the 1970s and portrayed by Will Smith on the big screen in Suicide Squad in 2016.

Morales, a Brooklyn native and graduate of New York’s High School for the Performing Arts, began his acting career in El Hermanoat the Ensemble Theatre Studio and at New York’s Shakespeare Festival In The Park inThe Tempest. Morales found his feature film breakthrough role as Bob Morales in Taylor Hackford’s La Bamba, the landmark 1985 biopic about Ritchie Valens.

The actor’s feature film credits include Bad Boys, Rapa Nui, Mi Familia, Fast Food Nation, Paid in Full, The Line, Atlas Shrugged: Part II, Jarhead II: Field of Fire, The Disappearance of Garcia Lorca, and Gun Hill Road, a film he executive produced and starred in. Gun Hill Road was a grand Jury Nominee at the Sundance Film Festival in 2011. Most recently Morales starred in Sony’sSuperfly and the indie film The Wall of Mexico.

Morales’ recent television credits include Ozark (Netflix), Mozart In The Jungle (Amazon Prime), Curb Your Enthusiasm (HBO), and Chicago PD (NBC). Morales also had notable credits over the years on shows such as NYPD Blue (ABC),Miami Vice (NBC), Fame (NBC) Law and Order: SVU (NBC), Caprica (Syfy), and Criminal Minds (CBS).

Morales is repped by Innovative Artists, LINK Entertainment, and Eric Feig Entertainment & Media Law.

The executive producers of Titans are Greg Berlanti, Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter, and Greg Walker.

you know, if things had played out as planned a while back, we'd have 3 Deathstrokes across the DC media.

Watched the pilot a couple days ago. Currently half way through the 1st episode and I gotta admit that I like it. Those initial early set photos were bad but the acting is good so far. I have no ideal what they're doing with the Star Fire character after the pilot but other than that its been pretty good.
