EXCLUSIVE: Australian newcomer Teagan Croft has landed one of the leads, the series regular role of Raven, in the new live-action series Titans, from Greg Berlanti, Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter and Warner Bros TV. The series is slated to premiere in 2018 as one of the first series that will launch a DC-branded direct-to-consumer digital service.

Written by Goldsman (Star Trek: Discovery), DC Entertainment president and chief creative officer Johns (The Flash, Arrow) and Berlanti (Arrow, DC’s Legends Of Tomorrow, The Flash, Supergirl), 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.

Croft’s Raven, described as the daughter of a demon, is a powerful empath who must keep her emotions in check or risk unleashing her demonic side.

Goldsman, Johns and Berlanti Prods’ Berlanti and Schechter executive produce Titans, from Weed Road Pictures and Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros Television.

The 13-year-old Croft stars in the upcoming Australian film The Osiris Child. Titans will mark her U.S. debut. She’s repped by UTA, Circle of Confusion and Messiner Management.

Streaming service only, huh?

Two other questions: Is this part of the Arrowverse? Is DC going to stop putting their shows on Netflix?

Gonna have to work on redesigning that costume so we aren't seeing teenage thighs.

Also, DC can ram it where the sun doesn't shine for streaming shows before working on a digital comic service.

thought this includes access to comics

also, the 2016 raven mini-series already solved the costume problem:

Huh, they are skewing very young with this. I don't think even Marvel's Runaways went this young with their casting.

They better not make Beast Boy and Raven the kiddies of the group. Hoping everyone is around the same age. Even if it means we get Robin over Nightwing.

Definitely. Although Raven's the one where they can get away with it more, since her thing being a child of doom means her relationship with the rest of the team would be like an orphan in their custody, kind of like in the cartoon how Beast Boy was basically raised by the Doom Patrol.

It's already confirmed that Dick will be Nightwing and in his 20s.

If I had to guess they'll have Beast Boy and Raven has the youngest members, then Dick and Kori will be older so they can toss in the romance angle.

Give her black hair and a slightly more age appropriate costume and she would look exactly like raven from the Teen Titans show.

Why... why did you post this.

I think it is pretty obvious this is a child and not some 18 year old.

Not much to go on, she appears to be a virtual unknown. I hope they don't try to shy away from proper costumes for the team.
In that I hope they don't just give her a blue hoody and call it a day.

Wait, they're actually teens!? I though we were getting CW twenty somethings.

The actress should look like Raven with black hair.

Hmm, they're casting way younger than I expected then. I thought they'd just get 18-19 year olds so they could shoot as much as possible with them.

Wait is this the series they were making for TNT(or whatever network) or is this something different? Is it now just gonna be only on the streaming service? That streaming service is gonna be a massive failure.

Also every time this comes up I think about Beast Boy on a TV budget.

It seems to be an all encompassing DC service. Their animation, comics and stuff like this. I'd guess older live action stuff will land there too. Probably won't include CW stuff though because that's with a Netflix.

No, that's just me speculating based on this being made for their digital service. I mean, Star Trek Discovery does look great so who knows but I'm not super confident, especially when it comes to Beast Boy's powers.

You know how this is going to go. In the beginning of the fight Beast Boy will get thrown behind some boxes and then a dog suddenly appears to attack the enemy

This was the TNT show. Now DC is putting it on their new thing. It's hybrid service.

It's like DC TV (and maybe animation/movie?) streaming combined with a Marvel Unlimited type comic service.

If I'm understanding it all correctly.

I personally don't think they would skimp on the budget for something that requires as much CGI as Beast Boy is gonna need.

Dogs, rats, and cats are gonna be Beast Boy's favorite transformations maybe an occasional horse.

Maybe they can buy the rights to some old Manimal footage and just run it through a green color filter.

I know but they've been rested to the point of not knowing their former older friends is a little annoying. I guess less so here if they do it right.

Anyway, where are my Nightwing and Starfire castings. Those are what I'm super interested in.
