Geoff Johns Confirms Work Has Started On Teen Titans TV Series
The Teen Titans have mostly been relegated to animation, but that will soon be a thing of the past thanks to Akiva Goldsman and Geoff Johns.
San Diego Comic-Con is typically a cornucopia of announcements and teasers, and Johns decided to get in on the action with a picture of classic Titans art with the caption (Oh. This also started this week...@AkivaGoldsman #Titans." Coupled with the recent casting descriptions and filming location details, it seems Titans is really getting off the ground.
The live-action Teen Titans series will be heading to DC and WB's new streaming service and features Johns, Goldsman, and Greg Berlanti as the showrunners. The show is set to start filming in Toronto on September 25th and will feature a cast that includes Nightwing, Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire.
Little is known outside of that, but Johns has always had a soft spot for the Titans, and it's fantastic to see him involved with this series. You can find the image and the show's synopsis below.
It follows a group of young soon-to-be superheroes recruited from every corner of the DC Universe. In the action-adventure series, Dick Grayson emerges from the shadows to become the leader of a fearless band of new heroes that includes Starfire, Raven and others.
