It took over 20 years, however Warner Bros. is lastly doing it: on Friday, they introduced their plans to present the Teen Titans a live-action film. Ana Noguiera, who’s already written Supergirl: World of Tomorrow, is on deck to do the inconceivable and convey the teenage superhero group to cinematic life. Beforehand, the Titans have dabbled in each ive-action and flicks, albeit individually: Titans wrapped its four-season run simply final yr, and Teen Titans Go to the Movies! is their solely cinematic incarnation interval.
The Teen Titans have all the time been well-regarded to 1 diploma or one other again within the day, however the 2003 Cartoon Community collection made them A-listers, not less than to most of the people. The five-person group of Robin, Beast Boy, Raven, Starfire, and Cyborg was extremely widespread and folk got here to like that incarnation.

Equally, you need to marvel if Xolo Maridueña’s Blue Beetle will pop up right here—he was a part of the group within the each the pre-New 52 comics and the identical animated flicks Damian was in. To not point out, there’s an excellent quantity of new-ish comedian faces like Sew and Purple Canary who might pop up right here as properly.
