Nice! Candice Patton as Iris West worked, I don't see why this can't

 

[kswiston]

Was this the show that had open race casting calls for everyone except Nightwing (who had to be white)?

 

[kunonabi]

Is she tall enough? isn't starfire like 6'5?

Didnt stop Marvel from hiring a midget for Valkyrie.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I have no idea who this is, but then all the CW stars were unknowns to me.

Starfire is a pretty dark character. Sold into sex slavery by her sister, she was later experimented on which gave her blasting powers(her people were already super strong and could fly)

What? Really?

 

[Spike Spiegel]

But seriously though, given this is a TV show I fully expect her to look like a normal person until she turns her powers "on," at which point her eyes will glow green and they'll add fire CG effects to her hair.

 

[LotusHD]

Wtf, this is awesome, didn't expect this lmao

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

I must say, as silly as it is, I'm quite attached to the way Starfire speaks in the cartoon. I hope they'll channel a little bit of that in the show.

Since she'll be an adult she won't be, to put it nicely, mentally challenged as she was in the cartoon.

 

[siddx]

Holy shit I am so excited. Not for the show, teen titans is garbage forever and always, but for the racist tantrum meltdowns sure to follow this. Expose thyself once more bigoted nerd culture!

 

[caliph95]

Notice complexion

think so.

the least cynical part of me says "well all the others are mostly nobodies and have different color skin so they can get away with anything but since dick's white in the comics if they deviate assholes on twitter will throw a fit"

Spoiler

the rest of me just shakes my head in resignation

 

[zeemumu]

The animated series tried to tone this down by just saying that she was being forced into an arranged marriage.

Blackfire was clearly evil from jump, no child should smirk like that

Hey now.
They reached a nice middle ground between the cartoon and the 80s version in her latest comic from last year.

 

[NastyBook]

*Makes angry white people noises*

"I mean, Tamaraneans are CLEARLY white! Just look at their ski-hmmmm..."

 

[Pilgrimzero]

I'm betting she will glow or something when using her powers.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Did you just disrespect Tessa Thompson? Watch yourself.

 

[aly]

Good. But I'm worried how much older She and Dick will be and also what they write her personality like.

 

[Confusion Illusion]

But seriously though, given this is a TV show I fully expect her to look like a normal person until she turns her powers "on," at which point her eyes will glow green and they'll add fire CG effects to her hair.

You mean like a transformation? They would probably do that because of budget reasons.

 

[caliph95]

Trump: As an orange person,I'll have to say failing DC has made a grave mistake with this clear discrimination. No one is more offended than me folks

 

[Lights and Waves]

Black Starfire, FUCK YEAH!!!

 

[ZeroX03]

Wonder what the team dynamic will be like. She's old enough to be Raven's mother. 25-30 year old Dick + Starfire and 13-15 year old Raven + Beast Boy?

 

[Dongs Macabre]

.

 

[Primus]

Someone post the Harvey Birdman Super Volt clip

Fixed that for you.

 

[Alienous]

Good. But I'm worried how much older She and Dick will be and also what they write her personality like.

The animated DC movies made Dick and Starfire work as sort of the Teen Titans' babysitters, so I have trust in that dynamic.

But I'm hoping they portray her as the ditzy character she's been in the incarnations I've seen.

 

[kylecoley182]

Now get Sam from supernatural to be dick and we are set!

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Now get Sam from supernatural to be dick and we are set!

And then Dean can play Red X lol.

 

[Zetta]

She too, um... Too tan, that's it!

Ok this made me laugh a little too much. This looks like a great cast, cant wait to check this show out.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

With Starfire there's cute ditzy like the way she mispronounces or goes way too in-depth with words and then there's "I don't know how to function and do basic shit" ditzy, which is annoying.

 

[Spike Spiegel]

You mean like a transformation? They would probably do that because of budget reasons.

Not even that I'd wager. No orange skin at all, just the glowy eyes/hands and hair CG.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Hey now.

I love goofy Starfire but that entire series felt like it was trying too hard.

 

[Regiruler]

For a second I thought this was for something related to the cartoon and Walch was getting replaced.

I don't mind this for a live cast.

 

[Ponn]

Ok come on lets be honest here. When it comes to Starfire her complexion is not what most people are thinking or wondering about.

Yeah you know how comic fans are

Good point. They are the best parts of those movies. I just don't want her overly serious.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Which costume and hair design are they gonna do? Are they gonna cover her up?

 

[Slayven]

Yeah, I like when her naivety was more about her being amused at how backwards humans can be

Pass

You deny the glory of Palmiotti & Conner???

Okay, maybe it was trying a little bit too hard at times but I loved the little sketches showing her thoughts and her interpretation of the world. It was a fun comic. Even better when Terra was there.

 

[Ponn]

Exactly. Is she going to have long flaming red orange hair or not.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Yes.

I mean comic fans are going to bitch if they don't have same exact shading of hair.
Plus the dumb human torch controversy

Except Comicgaf of course we are very reasonable people

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Since I doubt they do anything like her typical costumes, just give me some purple alien armor I guess.

Until now perhaps...

 

[caliph95]

Probably what they will going for

 

[aly]

Alien armor is prob what they'll go for, but her current comics look is fine if they don't mind a little skin.

 

[Escape Goat]

It's a tv show so the costuming is going to be leather and not so much skin tight latex.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Is she tall enough? isn't starfire like 6'5?

Was there a 6'5" actress you previously had in mind?

 

[Dark Ninja]

Lol whats the budget on this thing its either gonna look amazing or abysmal. They gotta get Beast Boys transformations, Raven's powers, Starfire's fire effects that include hair, and costumes if they have/get any. This thing is gonna be filled with dialogue or Nightwing is gonna have extended solo scenes.

 

[Mariolee]

Whoa, nice.
