The trailer focuses on Robin and Raven. You’ll notice this is a much more mature take on the Titans characters. There is some language and healthy doses of blood in the brutal action sequences.

You can find the official trailer for Titans above and the description for Titans below:

“Titans follows a group of young soon-to-be superheroes recruited from every corner of the DC Universe. In the action-adventure series, Dick Grayson emerges from the shadows to become the leader of a fearless band of new heroes that includes Starfire, Raven and others.”

Richard John “Dick” Grayson was once Batman‘s first sidekick Robin, before going on to become Nightwing. Once he took up the mantle of Batman when Bruce was thought to be dead, but became Nightwing once again after the events of Flashpoint.

Does anyone remember Flashpoint?

Raven was born of the demon Trigon, a demonic entity who had conquered many worlds and fathered many sons. Raven was his first and only daughter.

The series produced by Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti, and Akiva Goldsman — the same team that behind the DC Universe on The CW.

Hopefully the show lives up to the hype. Many fans have been waiting years for the show to come to life. Now it’s here.

Clooney, who is being presented with the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award on June 7, and ahead of that honor the actor opened up to The Hollywood Reporter about the parts of his career that have had the biggest influence on his work. Not to my surprise, he credited Batman & Robin.

“It’s really easy to pick: Batman & Robin,” he said. “That’s not a joke. Up until that moment, I was an actor only concerned with finding work. After the failure of that film creatively, I understood that I needed to take control of the films I made, not just the role. My next three films were Out of Sight, Three Kings, and O Brother, Where Art Thou?”

Clooney taking the failure of Batman & Robin as a lesson makes a lot of sense. When Clooney took over Batman from Val Kilmer in 1997, there was a lot of expectation. Batman Forever may have been met by mixed critical response, but the film was a box office hit with fans going into Batman & Robin excited for the next chapter.

The film “Batman & Robin” became something that even Clooney himself has joked about and apologized for over the years. Clooney even once said that he was the “least qualified” person to comment on another much-criticized take on Ben Affleck as Batman, saying that he “so terribly destroyed the part” that his opinion wasn’t important.

Of course, Clooney didn’t actually destroy the role of Batman. While it would be eight years before Batman returned to live action films, return he did with Christian Bale as the hero in Batman Begins. Clooney’s time as Batman also allowed him to give Affleck a bit of advice about the role for Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.

As for Batman & Robin itself, it’s had a positive impact outside of just helping Clooney to become a better actor. The film, which is now 21 years old, has a particularly strong following with the LGBTQ community, so much so that the film’s director Joel Schumacher noted last year that while it wasn’t his intention, he’ll take that positive legacy.

“I never thought of that,” Schumacher said. “I do know that there is definitely a large gay audience for all of the Batman films. But yeah, I tried to put in something for everyone. I never thought it was an important moment in gay cinema but hey, I’ll take it.”
