Titans (2018 - present) #2: "From sidekicks to heroes."
Welcome to the Titans (2018 - present) General Discussion #2 Titans follows the young superheroes of the eponymous team as they combat evil and other perils. Disbanded when the story begins, the series sees the team return when the original and new members reform the Titans. The Titans fight crime throughout various locations, with their base of operations in San Francisco. The first members of the team to appear in the series are Batman's former vigilante partner Dick Grayson, extraterrestrial Kory Anders, empath Rachel Roth, and shapeshifter Garfield "Gar" Logan. Dick is later revealed as one of the original Titans, alongside half-Amazon Donna Troy and crime-fighting duo Dawn Granger and Hank Hall. After the Titans reform, the team is joined by Batman's new partner Jason Todd, assassin Rose Wilson, and genetic clone Conner. Cast Last edited by Arrakis; 08-09-2020 at 10:22 AM |

FYI, the OP is missing three main cast members:
Chelsea Zhang (Rose Wilson) Essai Morales (Deathstroke)* Joshua Orpin (Conner Kent) * Essai has been given a "Special Appearance By" credit, but he's definitely a main cast member __________________

Some quick thoughts on Episodes 2-4:
* I really like the show's take on Rose, Doctor Light, Deathstroke,and Garth, although I do wish we'd seen more of the latter before his untimely death * I didn't really like the fact that the writers sidelined Kory with having to deal with a summons back home, largely because it's a cliched story and it would have been more satisfying narratively to have her show up in San Francisco and then receive the call to go back home * Because we'd already seen the writers go that route with Gar in Season 1, the tactic of introducing Jericho and then not going back to his story for a while felt repetitive and unsatisfying * The cliffhanger with Jason in Episode 3 was well-executed, but kind of meaningless since it's pretty obvious that it's a fakeout... especially since it wasn't followed up on immediately __________________

More quick thoughts on Titans Season 2 (through Episode 6):
* As neat as it was to see another flashback episode and learn about the old Titans' first encounters with Doctor Light and Deathstroke, it was good to get back to the present storyline and resolve the fakeout cliffhanger from Episode 3 * I'm glad that Kory finally rejoined the gang in San Fran, and liked that Raven chose to confide in her about what's going on with her powers * There's clearly more going on with Rose since we saw her body repair itself and revive her, but I wish such a big reveal hadn't been just thrown out there in the middle of two other crises (Jason's abduction and Raven's power issues) * I liked getting to see Conner experience the world and try to connect with the past embedded in his consciousness, from seeing fleeting memories of Martha Kent to meeting Lionel Luthor and the scientist who helped create him, Eve Watson, and Joshua Orpin did a great job emoting and conveying wonder, confusion, and anger by turns * Speaking of Eve Watson, I like that the creators, producers, and showrunners chose to create a brand-new, completely original character when there are any number of already-existing characters from the DC pantheon that they could've used to fill her role; it helps give Titans a mythos that is both familiar and unique and also introduces another really great female character * It really didn't feel like 3 months had passed between when Conner escaped Cadmus Labs and when he rescued Jason * "Conner" was, on the whole, a very strong introduction to the "Super" side of the Titans universe and set the stage for some very interesting stories to come as the new Titans get to know Conner and integrate him into their team while also having to continue to deal with the ongoing threat of Deathstroke * It'll be interesting to see if Mercy and Cadmus end up crossing paths with Slade at any point, or if the show holds off Mercy encountering the team for Season 3 __________________
