WHY!

http://deadline.com/2017/09/titans-minka-kelly-cast-dove-dc-live-action-series-1202163720/

riday Night Lights alumna Minka Kelly has been tapped to play Dove opposite Alan Ritchson’s Hawk in the new live-action series Titans, from Greg Berlanti, Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter and Warner Bros TV, which is slated to premiere in 2018 as part of the inaugural slate of a new DC-branded direct-to-consumer digital service.

Kelly’s Dove, aka Dawn Granger, is one half of the crime-fighting, vigilante duo and romantic couple Dove and Hawk. Dove is strategic, defensive and lithe — the opposite of Hawk, an aggressive, offensive bruiser. Both Kelly and Ritchson will be recurring, with an option to become regulars in Season 2. I hear the producers also are exploring a potential Hawk and Dove spinoff series down the road, which would be headlined by the duo.

 

[strafer]

Ah, Smallville Aquaman.

 

[Loxley]

Huh.

YES

 

[Slayven]

TV friendly powers

Ah, Smallville Aquaman.

I didn't even recognize him.

 

[mjc]

Will probably be the worst characters on the show yet. Trash.

 

[jelly]

I didn't recognise him from Smallville without his blinding white teeth in that picture.

 

[Ross61]

Will probably be the worst show yet. Trash.

?

 

[El Topo]

Ah, Thad.

 

[Sojgat]

Thad as Hawk is kinda perfect.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Will probably be the worst show yet. Trash.

The curse of the Teen Titans continues

 

[Rodney McKay]

Ah, Smallville Aquaman.

He also played a guy with a micro-penis on New Girl for an episode.

He played a pretty hilarious d-bag, haha.

 

[mjc]

?

Mistyped, meant worst characters on the show yet.

 

[Col WillieSharp]

I hear the producers also are exploring a potential Hawk and Dove spinoff series down the road, which would be headlined by the duo.

That's called the Bobbi/Hunter gambit and these kids should NOT fall for studio trickery.

 

[Shaanyboi]

Well... I can definitely see why they took 'Teen' out of the title.

 

[LycanXIII]

Ah yeah, Thad Castle!

 

[WraithWalker1893]

Haha. Greg Berlanti once again fucking things up. Horray for greggy! >>

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

Minka Kelly is cool with me being that she is a FNL alum.

 

[Discotheque]

Minka Kelly in spandex...whew

 

[mreddie]

So much for "Teen" Titans.

 

[Slayven]

It is amazing Hawk and Dove Extant long enough to be on TV

B'Wana Beast might be seen soon

 

[Ross61]

So much for "Teen" Titans.

Was it ever called Teen Titans? From the beginning it was always just called Titans.

 

[Slime]

Minka Kelly, eh.

Guess CW Hawkgirl has some competition for worst actress in a comic book show.

 

[LordOfLore]

So much for "Teen" Titans.

Everyone on this poster has been on the Titans at one point or another:

 

[Slayven]

Everyone on this poster has been on the Titans at one point or another:

RIP Bushido

 

[mreddie]

Everyone on this poster has been on the Titans at one point or another:

This addition feels cheap to me also, wow, they are already pushing a spinoff gives me a signal of LIKE ME!

 

[brawly]

I love Thad, I mean Alan.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

So much for "Teen" Titans.

Raven is 13 and likely Beast Boy as well.

 

[Slayven]

They were just Titans for far longer then they were Teen Titans, the point of them was growing up

 

[J_Viper]

Not casting Margaret Qualley as Raven is such a missed opportunity

I wish this was a proper film with an actual budget and not a web series

 

[Parallax]

fuck yeah thad castle

Everyone on this poster has been on the Titans at one point or another:

fuck power boy. forever

 

[Slayven]

I think this will be like Arsenal's Titans. The old heads training the new blood.

 

[Ross61]

Not casting Margaret Qualley as Raven is such a missed opportunity

I wish this was a proper film with an actual budget and not a web series

?

 

[ZeroX03]

Haha wow they're going even older. That's actually pretty good casting, both of them are talented and loosely fit the roles.

So much for "Teen" Titans.

This series was never just Teens.

 

[jrush64]

Why do some you just sound so cynical about this. Jeez.

 

[Father_Brain]

Ritchson is only 32? I thought he was pushing 40, for some reason. I guess I had him confused with the guy who played him on the Aquaman pilot.

Definitely not teens, though.

 

[Pein]

Love me some Lyla

 

[ZeroX03]

Ritchson is only 32? I thought he was pushing 40, for some reason. I guess I had him confused with the guy who played him on the Aquaman pilot.

Yeah Justin Hartley is 40. Ritchson has been working since he was 18 and always sorted of looked that age.

 

[broncobuster]

I like all the casting they've announced but always am given pause at the digital service show thing.

Cast and characters are hitting a range of ages. I imagine they'll get another Raven age actor.

 

[itwasTuesday]

I await the day when every Friday Night Lights actor becomes a super hero.

one more to check off my list

 

[J_Viper]

?

It's a super hero show debuting on a platform ten people will subscribe too

I'm expecting the worse, but I'd love to be proved wrong

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Who the fuck cares about Hawk and Dove?

 

[Frozenprince]

Trying to get that budget level CW crowd.

Interested, kinda.

 

[Sanjuro]

A little too Raph.

 

[Xero]

Enjoyed this dove with the birds of prey, hawk was always hawkman tier of interesting though.

 

[Slayven]

Trying to get that budget level CW crowd.

Interested, kinda.

Know you holding out for Jericho

Yuck! Drop that guy and I might be interested.

 

[EulaCapra]

I just saw Alan Ritchson's bare booty in the series finale of Blood Drive.....

Forget that other Aussie actor, Ritchson needs to play Dick Grayson pronto!

Again: ?

 

[Slayven]

Hawk and Dove actually have a pretty interesting background. They are living breathing peace treaties. The Lords of Order and The Lords of Chaos decided they will create avatars in order to end the war between them.

Dove keeps Hawk from going nuclear and Hawk keeps Dove from just being a bystander. A lot of meat to work with if someone cared
