    ‘Mad Men’s Vincent Kartheiser Joins ‘Titans’ as Scarecrow

    It looks like HBO Max’s upcoming season of Titans has found its Dr. Jonathan Crane. The official Twitter account has unveiled that actor Vincent Kartheiser will be taking on the role of Scarecrow. The actor is known for his work on the WB series Angel and AMC’s Mad Men. He also just recently appeared on Netflix’s The Social Dilemma. The character of Scarecrow has been a mainstay in Batman’s rogue’s gallery for a long time. He’s appeared in the original animated Batman series, The Lego Batman Movie, Harley Quinn, Gotham, and was famously played by Cillian Murphy in Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Trilogy. It’ll be interesting to see how Kartheiser reinvents the character for the third season of Titans.

    Interestingly, the tweet points to his influence from within Arkham Asylum. He may be the mastermind behind many villains that’ll make the life of the Titans a living nightmare. He will be joining a stacked cast that consists of Brenton Thwaites, Anan Diop, Teagan Croft, Ryan Potter, and Conor Leslie. The addition of Scarecrow was first teased during DC FanDome alongside Barbara Gordon and Red Hood. We don’t know how big his role will be, but he might have a larger role as the mastermind pulling the strings. The strong focus on Gotham might also see other iconic Batman villains making an appearance in the upcoming season.

  • First Leaked ‘Titans’ Set Photos Reveals Wanted Posters and Red Hood’s Threat

    First Leaked ‘Titans’ Set Photos Reveals Wanted Posters and Red Hood’s Threat

    Titans have been quite busy preparing for its upcoming season. After facing various delays due to the pandemic, it was finally able to enter production earlier this year. We know that Curran Walter‘s Jason Todd will pick up the mantle of Red Hood in the upcoming season. titans red hood. We’ll also see the addition of Barbara Gordon, who will be played by Savannah Welch, and Scarecrow. Now, we don’t know quite yet how all these pieces will fall together, but a recent set photo from @TOFilming_EM has offered a look at wanted posters for the various team members. It even includes Blackfire, who was teased in the previous season as a big bad. It also teases that the “Red Hood Rises, which could be building up towards Jason building up his own gang under the iconic moniker.

    There is a lot to take from these images. The Wanted posters groups Blackfire with the Titans. So, they might end up working together at some point in the series. She may also be the reason they are on the run from the law, which could mean they are involuntarily stuck with her. The “Red Hood Rises” posters are also really interesting. It almost makes it seem like they are a gang. They are using the red hoodie design to visualize the character, but not the iconic mask we know he will wear throughout the series.

    He also has been commonly connected with groups, such as Batman: Arkham Knight making him the leader of a group of mercenaries. The next season is going to shake things up in an interesting way. I also love the question mark from the Riddler tucked way in the corner, which could tease his arrival or just act as a nice Easter Egg.

  • ‘Titans’: First Look at Damaris Lewis’ Blackfire

    ‘Titans’: First Look at Damaris Lewis’ Blackfire

    After months of delays, production on the upcoming third season of Titans is underway. The show’s social media has begun to tease the character’s new design for this new season. The first reveal was the highly anticipated Red Hood costume. Shortly after, we got a good look at the redesign of Starfire. Fans have been begging for more. Luckily, they aren’t stopping anytime soon. After a long wait, they finally revealed the look of Blackfire. She will be played by Damaris Lewis, who is reprising the role after a brief appearance in the last season. She is sporting a purple and silver suit similar to her first appearance in New Teen Titans #23.

    The series still has no official release date. It will release on HBO Max now that DC Universes shifted to being a digital comic library. This season will see the return of Brenton Thwaites, Anna Diop, Ryan Potter, Teagan Croft, Alan Ritchinson, Minka Kelly, Joshua Orpin, Curran Walters, Damaris Lewis with Connor Leslie also set to return following Donna Troy‘s fate at the tail end of Titans’ second season. Joining the cast this season is Savanna Welch as Barbra Gordon and Jay Lycurgo as Tim Drake, who hopefully will be revealed in the near future. It is still unclear what role Tim will have in the story, as we may not get his introduction as the new Boy Wonder until the end or a future season. Hopefully, we get a trailer alongside a release date in the coming months.

    The upcoming season of Titans may become a turning point for the series. Finally, long-awaited characters are joining the series. During the FanDome event in August, we learned that the third season would see the debut of Barbara Gordon and Scarecrow in this series. We also learned that Jason Todd would become the Red Hood, as Blackfire finally arrives on Earth. It teased a great battle for the future of our planet. There was, however, one more rumor that had been teasing the upcoming season’s direction. We might see the live-action debut of one more iconic Batman character, the only other mind that could rival the world’s greatest detective, Tim Drake.

    We’ve been anticipating any casting news that would confirm this rumor. Supposedly, Titans may have already cast Robin, and that he could join the ranks of the Titans to fill the void Todd left behind. The small site Full Circle Cinema ran a story that Ryan Lycurgo was cast in the role based on a posting in the DC’s Titans Facebook Group. Interestingly enough, the actor is no stranger to DC, as he can be seen in the trailer for the upcoming The Batman film. He was one of the goons with painted faces near the end of the trailer. Now, we had no other word on if this casting may turn out to be true. At least until Ryan Potter, who many might recognize as Titans’ Beast Boy, confirmed the casting on Twitter.

    Titans’ third season is currently in production after suffering a massive delay due to the ongoing pandemic. The project will debut on HBO Max and will see the return of the Titans as they make their way to Gotham City. There, they’ll find themselves working with the new commissioner, Barbara Gordon. Drake’s introduction makes sense within this season and could lead to a larger role alongside this version’s Batman. We’ll see how his role will fit into the larger narrative set-up by the show and if we might see some spin-offs shortly.

  • ‘Titans’: Savannah Welch Cast as Barbara Gordon

    ‘Titans’: Savannah Welch Cast as Barbara Gordon

    Titans is among the many shows that were hit by the pandemic. The production got slated to begin in early 2020, but it got delayed until October of last year. Even with the delay, we still received some news about the show’s upcoming third season during DC FanDome. The team behind the series revealed that fan-favorites such as Scarecrow and Barbra Gordon would be coming to the show’s upcoming third season in a supporting role. We haven’t received any information since, so it has been a long wait. Luckily, that changes today, as Variety reveals that Titans has found its Barbara Gordon.

    Savannah Welch was cast in the role. Some might remember her from History Channel’s Six, Tree of Life, and Boyhood. According to Variety, Barbara has taken over as GCPD Commissioner. She once was active as Batgirl until the Joker shot her. After the events, Barbara survived but ended up paralyzed in a wheelchair ever since. Upon the Titans return to Gotham City, she and Dick Grayson will spark up a long-gone romance. It also leads to them developing a new kind of crime-fighting partnership that will define the upcoming season.

    Interestingly, there is no mention of her time as Oracle. She may take on this role later in the season, which may be why her description teases their new crime-fighting partnership. The addition of Barbara Gordon is also an essential step forward for inclusivity in TV and cinema. Welch is an amputee, as she lost her leg after an accident in 2016. So, it’ll be interesting to see how they handle this story. She is joining Brenton Thwaites, Anna Diop, Curran Walters, Teagan Croft, and Ryan Potter as the series moves to HBO Max.

    ‘Titans’: First Look at Starfire’s New Design

    The third season of DC’s Titans is finally in production after a significant delay due to the ongoing pandemic. Fans have been clamoring for more info regarding the next season and were recently fed quite well with the reveal of Jason Todd’s Red Hood. There was also the hope that other characters get a much-needed upgrade to their design. Fans were especially hoping that Starfire, who has been one of the show’s standout characters, would finally get a comic-accurate costume. Anna Diop was once set to receive a suit back in the scrapped finale of the first season, which was seen in leaked footage.

    Starfire first appeared in the series was involved with quite a bit of controversy regarding her overall design and Diop‘s casting in the role. Of course, once we saw her act, she made the role her own. Now, over the past few days, we’ve been receiving teases similar to that of the Red Hood reveal. Yet, this time, we’re given pieces of the concept art for the outfit for Starfire’s new look. Finally, we got the first look, and it seems they are going for an armored look that incorporates the classic purple and green.

     

    Titans season 3 is currently in production and has no release date. It will premiere its third season on HBO Max after DC Universe became a digital comic library. The first two seasons of the series are now streaming exclusively on HBO Max. So, you should have more than enough time to catch up before the next one starts with the arrival of Red Hood and Starfire’s sister, Blackfire. Hopefully, fan-favorites Beast Boy and Raven also the redesign that they deserve. Seriously, poor Gar’s been wearing the same hoodie for two seasons now.

  • ‘TITANS’: First Look at Red Hood Revealed

    ‘TITANS’: First Look at Red Hood Revealed

    With the third season of Titans currently in production, many have been on the edge of their seats waiting to get their first look at Red Hood. After some initial teases, we would finally get the latest persona of Jason Todd on the show. It was revealed back in August at the DC FanDome event by EP Greg Walker. Curran Walter‘s character would be going down a darker path in season 3 and, as such, would don the iconic Red Hood mantle. Many fans were left scratching their heads at this news, as Jason hadn’t experienced anything close to a crowbar from the clown prince of crime at any point in the previous season. This approach has led many to become very cautious about the news.

    Walter‘s Todd will sport an accurate adaption of the Red Hood costume. It will consist of the iconic leather jacket and red bat-symbol across the chest. This look is sure to please fans of the character. The suit is made by the highly talented LJ Supersuit, whose work has shown up on previous seasons of Titans. They have also worked on the costumes of Nightwing and Deathstroke but were also involved with other shows such as Stargirl, Doom Patrol, and The Boys.

    Titans’ third season is still in production. We currently have no release date, as production was significantly delayed due to the ongoing pandemic. It will feature the return of fan-favorites of the shows the main roster including Brenton Thwaites as Nightwing, Anna Diop as Starfire, Ryan Potter as Beast Boy, Teagan Croft as Raven, Joshua Orpin as Superboy, and they will be joined by the newest addition, Barbara Gordon. We have no news who will pick up the mantle of Oracle in this show, so as production continues we might get some news on it. Still, getting our first look at Red Hood is certainly going to get people excited for the latest season.

  • ‘Titans’ Alan Ritchson Cast as Titular Lead in Amazon’s ‘Jack Reacher’

    ‘Titans’ Alan Ritchson Cast as Titular Lead in Amazon’s ‘Jack Reacher’

    Looks like that rumored Hawk and Dove spin-off won’t be happening after all. Titans star Alan Ritchson has officially been cast as the titular character of Amazon’s Jack Reacher series. It is currently set to be written by Prison Break‘s Nick Santora, who will also serve as showrunner. Author of the original books Lee Child will serve as executive Producer alongside Christopher McQuarrie, Don Granger, Scott Sullivan, and Marcy Ross. Surprisingly, we haven’t heard much of this series since it started development around a year ago. Amazon Studios Jennifer Salke teased the potential the show has for Amazon’s streaming slate.

    Lee Child’s Jack Reacher book series is a global phenomenon with one of entertainment’s most well-known heroes, and a perfect fit for Amazon Studios’ slate of bold, character-driven series.

    This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the iconic novel character adapted. Tom Cruise played the titular character back in 2012. Now Executive Producer Christopher McQuarrie directed the original film before tackling the Mission Impossible films. At the time, there was quite a bit of controversy as Cruise physically was a far departure of the character’s description in the novel. Ritchson is closer to Reacher’s height so there might be less controversy over his casting. He is a great choice for the lead role. He was a standout among Titans large casts of characters. His performance as Raphael in 2014’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was also one of the most memorable aspects of the latest film adaptation. Cannot wait to see what he brings as the lead in this series.

  • FanDome: Red Hood, Barbara Gordon and Scarecrow Joining ‘TITANS’ Season 3

    Titans is an interesting addition to the DC universe. It explored a darker version of the titular hero team. We saw Dick Grayson grow out of the shadows of his former mentor, as he tries to protect Raven from her demon father’s influences. It wasn’t until the second season that the actual team formed as they faced the assassin Deathstroke. He was even the reason the original team that the original team was forced to split up.

    Now, DC FanDome has finally arrived and we got some info on what to expect from the upcoming season. We ended the last with Grayson embracing the Nightwing mantle. The third season was delayed due to the pandemic as it was originally going to premiere in the fourth quarter of this year. Still, many were hoping we get a first look at what the season will offer and confirmation if Jason Todd would become Red Hood.

    That isn’t all as we also got the reveal that Barbara Gordon and Scarecrow will be joining the next season. They are using the next season to explore Gotham a bit. Both Barbara and Grayson are going to have to learn from their guardians mistakes, as Todd embraces his evil side once he accepts the moniker of Red Hood.

     

    Won’t lie, I am a huge Red Hood fan. Loved the character ever since I saw the Red X version in the Teen Titans animated series. So, getting a first look at him in live-action is just great to see. No matetr
