TNT is actually a good spot for 2 reasons:

1. TNT is a corporate sibling of Warner Bros., DC Comics, & The CW.

2. TNT is now being ran by Kevin Reilly.

Getting Kevin Reilly was GREAT GET for TNT/TBS/Tuner last fall. There's no doubt he probably the 1 pushing for the "Teen Titans" show.

Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) was attached to the project.

The world of superheroes on the small screen won't be expanding on TNT.

In his first executive session as the president of TNT and TBS, Kevin Reilly revealed at Television Critics Association winter press tour that the former has passed on drama Titans, about superheroes-to-be.

"We just decided it wasn’t quite where we wanted to go," he said.

The project, from Warner Horizon Television and DC Comics, also had high-profile names attached in Akiva Goldsman (A Beautiful Mind) and Marc Haimes.

Based on characters from DC Comics, Titans revolves around a group of young superheroes-to-be who are recruited from every corner of the DC universe. The action-themed drama centers on dikk Grayson, who emerges from the shadow of Batman to become Nightwing, the leader of a fearless band of new superheroes including Starfire, Raven and more. The show is described as a dramatic adventure series that will explore and celebrate one of the most popular comic book titles ever.

The team of teen superheroes first appeared in a 1964 issue of The Brave and the Bold as a "Junior Justice League" featuring Robin (aka dikk Grayson), Kid Flash (Wally West) and Aqualad (Garth). They were later joined by Wonder Girl (Donna Troy) and Green Arrow's sidekick, Speedy (Roy Harper). The series was later revived in 1980 and relaunched as The New Teen Titans, aging the characters to young adults.

The new iteration of Titans neared a pilot order at TNT in September 2014, several months before Reilly took over at the beginning of January. However, Reilly made it clear at press tour that he hopes to take TNT in a drastically new direction with the upcoming end of Rizzoli & Isles and new series Animal Kingdom and Good Behavior.

Superhero series have proved successful for broadcast series such as The CW (The Flash, Arrow and the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow), Fox (Gotham), ABC (Marvel's Agents of SHIELD and Agent Carter). FX next plans to tackle the genre with the new project Legion from Fargo's Noah Hawley.

Won't be shocked if that cyborg movie announced for 2020 becomes a teen titans movie :francis:
That's actually the rumor from just a couple weeks back.

That DC is lookin to scrap the Cyborg project and re-purpose it as a titans film. Just a rumor tho.

If there's any truth to it, it's not surprising b/c even the Cyborg actor was surprised when they first announced that shyt way back when. So it always seemed more like a knee-jerk pre-emptive move (to announce the first black superhero movie b4 Marvel did) than something they were ever truly serious about.
