That goes without saying.

Still don't see how they let Fox get the distribution rights on that. But if Fox was willing to pay TW more money to distribute the show than TW themselves on their own networks then :manny:

Thinking about it now they're gangsters. Sold a batman show without batman :russ:

Titans: TNT Boss Offers Update on Live-Action Pilot

Not much has been revealed since the pilot was announced in September, but the project is underway.

TNT president Kevin Reilly has given an update on the Teen Titans live-action adaptation, which he hopes will be cast this summer with production going from there.
Not much has been revealed about the series since it was announced in September, which follows a band of young superheroes fronted by Nightwing/dikk Grayson, the former Robin. Akiva Goldsman (Batman & Robin, A Beautiful Mind, Fringe) is executive producing and also penned the pilot episode with Marc Haimes.

While Goldsman has been "very busy," it is Reilly's hope that “maybe this summer” things will really start moving on the project, which he wants to differentiate from the rest of the superhero shows on television, such as Arrow, The Flash and Gotham.

“I sat down with Akiva and said — and he ultimately agreed — that the [TV] landscape right now is well-serviced on the superhero front. So what space is this going to inhabit?” Reilly told TVLine, adding what Goldsman really "wants to do is be very true” to the source material.

Reilly pointed out that the Titans “was a groundbreaking property when it first started,” and so there is a good chance it can find its own place, saying, “There were consequences to things that happened; it wasn’t somebody died and they moved on. There was the first superhero to be an addict [in Roy Harper’s Speedy]. It’s a coming-of-age story for Robin, who feels like Batman has betrayed him.”

Titans initially finds Grayson suiting up as Robin as he patrols the streets of Boston before his expected transition into Nightwing.

The rest of the team was also announced and includes Starfire, Barbara Gordon, Hawk/Hank Hall and Dove/Dawn Granger and Raven/Rachel Roth. Cyborg and Beast Boy, who appeared in the comics and animated series, will not be featured in the pilot.

A lot of folks are idiots & don't know WTF they're talking about.



:comeon: Greg Berlanti isn't even producing this show. It'll probably won't take place in the Arrow/The Flash universe.

Supergirl does exists in the Flash/Arrow universe though... :heh:
