It will be paired with the new live-action Titans series!

"Titans follows a group of young soon-to-be Super Heroes recruited from every corner of the DC Universe. In this action-packed series, Dick Grayson emerges from the shadows to become the leader of a fearless band of new heroes, including Starfire, Raven and many others.

I don't even know what to think about this. Am I going to have to pay for this service?

Dickfire getting live action media attention instead of Dick/Babs is amazing. I'm tentatively excited, though Arrow has burnt me in this department.

Speaking of which, everyone ready for the next year+ of "Is Titans part of the Super-Flarrowverse?"

I admit, I almost did a double-take when I saw that first name in the list. Now why do you think they left out the most DC-relevant parts of his resume...?

In all seriousness - think they're going to be able to pull off Gar on a TV budget?

The bondage?

Dickfire... oh dear.

Hope springs eternal! :D

Hmmm I will pass, I'm sure the show will be great but I never cared for the espionage element.

Still my hats off to those that fought tooth and nail to get this show back from the shadows.

Meantime I'm holding a candle for Weisman to come back to another Spider-man animated.

My guess is it'll be another parallel Earth, so they don't need to reference a Batman on any existing TV world.

Take off the 'green' part, and he's actually one of the easiest powers.

Live action superhero action on whatever the budget is for an untested digital distribution system? At the very least, I'm dubious

You young people, does no one remember the mighty, majestic Manimal?

Or this will be the one they throw some money at, to pull in the punters.

[thezmage]

For whatever reason, I don't trust the WB to do that. Might be their recent movie forays

That was my first thought as well! Along with his work on the Lost in Space movie.

The news coming out CBS's Star Trek Discovery project does not give me much hope either.
