Now that New York Comic Con has begun, some lucky attendees were treated to the series premiere of the superhero series focusing on Robin, Starfire, Raven, and Beast Boy. So, what are they saying about the show?
You can expect to read our review of Titans tomorrow, but fans have started posting their thoughts on the first two episodes of the series online.
It seems Warner Bros. is confident the series will be a hit, as it’s already received a second season order on DC Universe. Executive producer Akiva Goldsman spoke with ComicBook.com at New York Comic Con where he revealed they have big plans for the future.
“In early days we kind of grossly discussed the first three season just in very large blocks and obviously with serialized television what’s great these days is you can do set ups and pay offs at least within the season and there are also some that we hope will be able to pay off next season,” Goldsman said.
Series producer Geoff Johns has spoken at length about the freedom Titans has, afforded by its home on DC Universe.
“It was an opportunity do less of a conventional procedural show and more of a 12-hour movie,” Johns said. “We could focus in more on character and push the envelope, in terms of content.”
The series will premiere on DC Universe on October 12th, but is it something to get excited about? Here’s what people who saw the episodes are saying about Titans:

Get ready for those Starfire and Robin ships
DCโs #Titans is an awesome surprise. The first two episodes really set up something exciting and unique. The chemistry works amongst all the actors. Starfire and Robin are standouts #NYCC

Classic fans won’t be disappointed
#Titans totally worth watching. @DCUTitans has done a fantastic job at breaking the mold and giving us something new but sticking to some classic content!

Better than a Marvel show?
Ya after this Doom Patrol talk I should probably say something about #Titans itself huh?

I like it! Itโs bloody and dark, but the tone is more cohesive than some Marvel shows. Thereโs humor & horror, and โfuck Batmanโ carries emotional weight in context https://t.co/34cjeKfBvx
Stuck in the ’80s
Yo so what I will say rn is #Titans ainโt like anything else. Starfire is stuck in the 80s, but I low key sort of fuck with the 80s?โโ๏ธ
