Honestly I have mixed feelings and let me list it in Random Order:

1. Holy shit Robin kills dudes, and people were saying Batman was too murdery in Batman v Superman.

2. The trailer music is gay as fuck, totally incongruent with the overall tone and story presented so far in this trailer.

3. This is such a radical shift, but honestly I am fed up with the constant Superhero debates that I am gonna roll with this show's choice of tone and presentation because fuck the Marvel/Disney standard, here at least the charcaters seem to actually be taking thier situation seriously and not spout corny ass one liners.

4. Though I am worried that this is just gonna be all about Robin because seriously I had it with Batman and Batman related things and Robin is no exception, though yes Robin I do approve, Fuck Batman that Overrated Gary Stu :p

5. And if I have to be frank this does whole thing does look like someone's fanfiction of Teen Titans with Robin and Raven being the major charcaters and possibly love interest, and in a very dark and edgy story, as a late teen I read a tone of Titans fanfiction, almost all of which were rather edgy as fuck, and hyper sexual what with even going far as having Robin and Slade fuck each other.

6. And so far I feel most of the development is gonna be entirely on Raven and Robin because they did showcase Starfire and Beast Boy well enough to get a proper impression of them leading me to believe they are just gonna be mostly background charcaters, because all the effort went to the former two.

In the end, I am merely cautiously curious, By trailer alone its not exactly what i want out of a Teen Titans show, but still I approve of going against the established grain and I don't care how good or bad it is, I am not subscribing to thier service to watch this though so I'll be merely watching clips of it on Youtube to see where this goes.

Now if DC can just make an Animated or Live Action Adaption of Kingdom Come already :p

Has going live action after being animated ever gone well? The only time I can remember wanting that kind of switch over was with The Venture Brothers, because they kept expanding the universe to the point the animated show can't explore all the possibilities they opened up.

Oftentimes, the media view maturing something to mean more sexy girls, more burly dudes, more scowls, more dirt, and more blood. What it SHOULD mean is more maturity in writing and tone, as in, tackling issues that are more adult. A good example of this is the typical save the princess from an evil dragon plot. A more actually mature version of that plot would perhaps instead have it be where the dragon is actually guarding the world FROM the princess.

And I'm not saying you can't have your sexy girls and your burly dudes and your scowls and your blood, but that's not what makes something truly mature. You can have all that and yet your game may still be infantile in plot and tone.

Well we are dealing with Teenagers, who tend to not act mature.

Sure, but the show isn't called teen titans anymore. Just titans.

I've been wondering, ever since they first showed set photos, why does Starfire look like a cheap Detroit hooker?



Sexy adult Starfire has never looked like a tramp who'd cost less to go all the way then it cost for the bus ticket to reach her.

Edit: fuck, too lazy to fix that shit

Probably the same reasons they made Jimmy Olson they way he was in the CW Supergirl show.

And to be fair the actress playing her is actually pretty hot when she's not dressed like this.
