Titans

Heroes will rise ... or Gotham will fall.

RELEASED 12 Oct 201838h 28m · 49 episodes★ 7.9 TMDB

A team of young superheroes led by Nightwing (formerly Batman's first Robin) form to combat evil and other perils.

Why it matters in DC

Nightwing's leadership places a former sidekick at the centre of a team facing its own responsibilities. The series gives the younger generation of DC heroes a space to define their relationships and methods beyond the authority of the figures who preceded them.

Where it fits in the DC universe

Titans is title 13 of 24 in our Live-action Elseworlds viewing sequence. Titans follows a separate live-action interpretation of the younger DC team. Neither the Teen Titans animated series nor the connected animated Titans films supplies its backstory. Begin with the show's own introduction to its characters rather than importing the relationships of other teams that share the Titans name.
