So you just trying to create some bullshit that isn't there or what?

He's a wizard like that..

 

[Mercury Fred]

She seems cool. I hope she's orange & alien on the show!

 

[TheSkullPrince]

Great news! As long as she captures Starfire's characteristics and essence in her performance is all I care about.

But the disgusting reaction she's going to get from the racist man-babies is going to make me fucking sick

 

[MHWilliams]

How old is she?

Just in the OP photo, she didn't look like a teen to me.

She's 29? That's...That Age Where You Get Pressure To Settle Down Titan?

It's worth noting that this is based off the New Teen Titans team, who weren't really teens at that point.

Kid Flash was in college, Dick Grayson had left college, Cyborg was a college football player before his accident. One of their early villains was the Ravager, who blames them for making him lose his New York City apartment and his girlfriend.

Right because Human Torch and Domino was welcomed in open arns

 

[Bad_Boy]

Live action titans series?

I dont have much hope honestly. I feel like it would require a huge budget.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

Wow, the hate mail from stupid motherfuckers is going to be incredible.

As for me though, this has the potential to be great.

 

[KillLaCam]

What's Snookie or JWow up to these days?

Snooki might be too on the nose.

Oh god that would be amazing lmao

 

[Prototype Viktor]

DC Reddit yelling for her to be painted orange. I partially want them to just leave her black and say black girls are magic space aliens

 

[SpideySenses]

Can't say I was a fan of her in 24: Legacy, hopefully she's better in this.

 

[Violet_0]

One of their early villains was the Ravager, who blames them for making him lose his New York City apartment and his girlfriend.

wow, this is actually a good villain motivation. I can really relate to this. Having to look for a new apartment in NYC must be a bitch

 

[Discotheque]

I'm fine with any ethnicity playing starfire. She should be hotter tho. Like she looks ok in that pic in the OP. But should be 🔥🔥🔥

This hotter?

You really have a bug up your ass about Slay don't you?
Did the bad man hurt you?

 

[Painguy]

Cool. I hope they make her orange lol

Not bad.

 

[NEO0MJ]

The important question everyone should be asking is...

Spoiler

does she love Dick?

But does she love Dick?

Beaten

Not bad.

Yeah I like it.

But as many have said in this thread, not sure they can afford or have the time for that kind of make-up / effects on a tv show for a streaming platform. But I'm more worried about how Beast Boy is gonna look, honestly.

Oh well, we'll see. The cast seems solid so far at least.

 

[LordOfLore]

Of course after his unfortunate death we met his father the same issue:

 

[RedHoodedOwl]

*Makes angry white people noises*

 

[IHaveIce]

Nice, though qeird that the starfire character seems to be quite older than Raven in the series

.

 

[SpaceWolf]

A black woman playing an orange alien?!

(Howls with outrage)

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

I hope down the line since they are doing adult Nightwing and Starfire they have a scene like

(maybe with Donna Troy in as well)

 

[shawnbuddy]

I've never heard of this actress before but I hope she does well.

I guess it's interesting they followed the recent trend of having adult Titan mentors, but I grew up with them all being teens (in the Wolfman comic) so that's what I'd prefer. It's Teen Titans, not "Teen Titans and a couple of sad old superheroes who are still hanging out with kids because they couldn't make the cut for the Justice League." Also, while making them all teens again, put Cyborg back in the Titans. I know JL is supposed to be a promotion, but if he's a teen there no need. He's one of the iconic original Titans characters, it just doesn't work as well without him.

The Teen Titans gentrified his neighborhood and stole his girl.

Who's the real villain?

 

[……forgetit]

Today will bring fuckery.

 

[Hollycat]

I was kind of hoping for somebody who looks a little more muscular but as long as she can act I'll probably grow to like her.

She can hit the gym or something, you know.

 

[Hollycat]

do people do stuff like that for TV shows? I know some actors will try to gain or lose weight for movies but I don't know what people usually do for TV. Either way as I said as long as she can act well then I'll probably like her.

 

[Vengal]

Wonder if they even will do the solid green eyes. Seems most actors complain about those kind of lenses making it very difficult to see and those are just Iris changes. Solid green would be probably entirely blind.

Maybe cg eyes or wearing sunglasses all the time?

 

[tkscz]

Wait, they're still doing this? Thought they canceled it.

 

[Shin K Dash]

Nice, though qeird that the starfire character seems to be quite older than Raven in the series

I wouldn't say that. She's just really tall. Enough to give Vince Mcmahon an erection.

 

[Ithil]

What gave you this indication? They have been announcing casting for it for the past while.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Here is Black Canary's actress from Arrow https://twitter.com/JulianaHarkavy/status/890653122657255424

Uh, of course they do. Do you see mostly fat, ugly, out-of-shape people on TV?

 

[Fancyarcher]

Have no real idea who she is, but she seems like a fine enough choice for the role, so I can't complain.

 

[Hollycat]

There's a difference between fit and muscular and maintenance and actively trying to bulk up.


Edit: sorry, I quoted wrong person .

 

[Lifeline]

Still can't believe they're making a cheap digital only TV show with the Titans instead of a movie. Titans movie should've replaced Suicide Squad.

Honestly if they can pull it off, I'd prefer a tv show rather than a movie.

Well..it could be used as a Trojan horse to justify a budget for a feature...


And.. it keeps fellow gaffers employed.. so..

Yup, if it is remotely decent i'd way rather have a tv series.
Especially Teen Titans where I find their down time is an important part of it as well.

 

[BKatastrophe]

Still not getting me excited for this show. I hate their casting call description of Dick.

 

[RPG_Fanatic]

Two characters cast now. Seeing that Anna Diop, I have no problems with her playing Starfire. It is interesting that Raven's actor is so young. I am curious to see a promotional image of Raven to see what that looks like.

I hope we find out who is cast as Beast Boy soon.

 

[Angelus Errare]

(maybe with Donna Troy in as well)

Who?

 

[Marmaladefire]

YES

 

[Slayven]

Who?

Whats wrong with you?

Donna Troy is Wonder Woman made interesting

 

[Lashley]

She was AWFUL in 24: Legacy

 

[Pandora012]

Thought she was Wonder Woman. I'm confused.

They've been aging Raven (and BB) down in relation to the other Titians in the DCAU recently I believe. I thought it was just so she could play love interest/foil to Damian, but I guess they're going the den mother and absent dad route with Star and Nightwing and casting the others younger.
