‘Titans’ Is Making Batman The Bad Guy In The First Season Finale Trailer
The first season ofTitansis coming to an end. As you may recall, the first trailer for the DC Universe streaming series hadBrenton Thwaitesproudly proclaiming, “F*** Batman,” and it sounds like The Dark Knight wasn’t too happy about that, because he’s coming back with a vengeance.
TheTitansseason finale trailer has arrived online, and instead of just talking about Batman, the Caped Crusader himself returns in a big way. After Commissioner Gordon is killed, Gotham City has gotten out of control, and apparently Batman is sick of it. He’s hellbent on killing The Joker, and it looks like he might be taking a couple other iconic DC Comics villains down too. So much for that whole rule about not killing people.
In theTitansseason finale, Jason Todd, the new Robin, asks Dick Grayson to stop Batman from going on his rampage across Gotham City, effectively turning him into the bad guy. There’s even a raid of Wayne Manor.
Boy, this feels like everyone behind DC Comics properties is desperate to make Batman part of everything when they should be trying to branch out as much as possible. They don’t need Batman to always be around to have successful properties, and doing something like this feels lazy and uninspired. This whole trailer feels like a fan film, especially with the way they try to obscure Batman’s face at every turn, so we can’t figure out who’s playing him (likely because it’s not anybody famous).
IfTitanswon’t convince you to get the DC Universe membership, maybe you’ll be happy to know that the DC Comics animated movies will be available to watch on the service the same day they hit Blu-ray and DVD. And with titles likeReign of the Supermen,Justice League vs The Fatal FiveandBatman: Hushon the way, you’ll want to be ready.
