The live-action Titans series on DC Universe already has a full range of popular characters from DC, in addition to the list of current members of Titans. Hawk, Dove, Doom Patrol will all make appearances, but the character that has attracted the most interest is Jason Todd, the boy who replaced Dick Grayson as Robin.
At the beginning of the series, Dick has long been away from Batman and works alone as a detective in Detroit. Batman's influence however looms on him, and a clash with Jason Todd does not really help the situation.
On the red carpet in front of Titans World premiere at the Comic Con in New York on Wednesday night, we had the chance to catch up with Brenton Thwaites, who plays Dick Grayson in the series, and to question him about his relationship with Jason.
"Well, Jason Todd has become a replacement for Dick Grayson, so he has filled my position with Batman," Thwaites said. "So, there is a little tension in the scenes where we meet because I left for a reason.As I said, this is not the way to fight against the crime in which I believe, and Jason Todd is, I think, Batman brainwashed to believe that this brutal, destructive and lethal way of fighting crime is not right, so there is a bit of tension in me trying to teach him to to repair those wrongs and not to do everything he says. "
Thwaites revealed that Jason did not intervene until the second half of the season and that his appearance was rich in complicated emotions for Dick.
"These scenes, I think it's the seventh episode when it happens, were really fun," said the actor. "They were really mocking, and you know that there is a good part of Dick Grayson missing that kind of life, that kind of wish that he could have a little touch of that. was to fight crime with Batman but at the end of the day he stays true to his beliefs and fights for his beliefs and tries to find his own way. "
At this point, we do not know how important Jason will be in the first season, nor what his story will imply. In the comics, Jason replaced Dick as Robin after Dick became Nightwing. However, this decision haunted Bruce because Jason was killed later.
Eventually, Jason was brought back to life and became the bad guy known as Red Hood. Judging by how Thwaites describes Jason's character and his blind loyalty to Batman, there is a good chance Red Hood's potential story will be in his future.
Unfortunately, we will have to wait a little longer to find out. Until then, you can watch the entire interview with Brenton Thwaites in the video above!
Titans is preparing to release its first episode on Friday, October 12 on DC Universe streaming service.
