In DC Universe's Titans, the original Robin, Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) is trying to strike out on his own and away from Batman's shadow when he comes face to face with his replacement, Jason Todd (Curran Walters).
IGN has revealed two new images from the series with this confrontation and Titans showrunner Greg Walker talks about the meeting between the two.
"What I really love about [Jason] as a character is the unbridled sense of self that he has - there’s a lack of... maybe self-awareness, but for sure self-consciousness in terms of how he comports himself and how he moves through the world," Walker explained.
"He’s completely seemingly unaffected by darkness - he kind of embraces it or walks right through it. He’s a breath of fresh air and that’s what I love about him, he’s got a punk rock, no-holds-barred attitude that’s massively unburdened. There’s a lot of energy that comes with that."
For Dick, that attitude probably adds insult to injury, which may be what contributes to the apparent antagonism between the two in our photos.
"It’s kind of like one of those classic covers of the books, original versus number 2, and in many ways, you really see that [in the photos]. This encapsulates the tension, the energy between these two guys. It's like running into your ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend, minus the sexual tension," Walker laughed.
"You get to watch Dick Grayson struggle when he sees another Robin and how that Robin is different and has a different relationship with 'dad.' And the second child gets away with stuff the first child would never get away with in a family, and ours is really a family show."
I'm not going to get a subscription service for this, but it looks interesting. Some of the characters look really awful though.

Batman is a must. Whats a DC crossover without the caped crusader ?

LIVE ACTION JASON TODD!!!
This is starting to get exciting Almost needing to make that annual subscription - but I agree, Belmont13, no Batman?
Are they gonna include Batman in this show? I mean two Robins at the same time and no Batman seems kind of......odd.
I hope this show and the others do well, or i just blew $80.00 for the year on DC Universe.
