The trailer for DC Universe’s Titans is out and it’s….. something? Well, The DC Universe streaming service is providing a pretty interesting line-up including several new series such as Swamp Thing, Doom Patrol and Titans. Titans is looking to be earliest to drop on the streaming service and now that the trailer is out, we will be able to take a peak at what this DC Universe has to offer.
Titans follows Dick Grayson (Robin), Rachel Roth (Raven) as they deal with a plot that threatens the world. Joining them are Koriand’r (Starfire) and Gar Logan (Beast Boy) who will help save the day! You’ve seen it before but this take on the characters is set to be much grittier. This could be good or bad but based off the trailer, well… I don’t know.
Although most of these characters look pretty cool (Starfire seems a little off however) and the violence can be pretty neat, it does seem like it’s trying waaayyy too hard to be gritty. The trailer makes it pretty clear that it’ll be dark as Dick goes “Fuck Batman” after he brutally murders a group of thugs. The trailer offers a style that can sometimes be a little cartoon-ish and low budget along with some choppy editing that makes it seem that it doesn’t offer all that much to the table but that could just be the trailer. Another problem I found was the song used in the trailer that sounds like something you’ll use in a mediocre teen drama on CW (you know what I’m talking about).
This doesn’t mean the series would be bad as trailers can sometimes fail to capture the direction of the film or series but it does draw a little skepticism as to the show’s quality. We can tell that it’s going to be dark and gritty but whether or not it’s good, only time will tell.
