![]() ![]() It's like the metaphor of family: It's the tests you face as a family that are more interesting than your Thanksgiving dinner where you're all assembled. To me, we just stumbled on this feeling very early on that got us excited, which was it was more interesting watching them trying to form a team and being pulled apart than watching them actually be a team and fight together. Look, you know they're going to be a team and you know they're going to fight together, that's an expected part of the journey. Here, Greg Walker talks about the decision to delay the Titans' formation for the duration of Season 1. (Hulu's Marvel adaptation Runaways faced similar judgments during its freshman season, which the recently released Season 2 addressed in full.) In particular, one of the bigger criticisms laid against the series is the fact that the titular team doesn't officially form at any point. ![]() He's shown up in quite a few animated projects, though, from Superman: The Animated Series to Legion of Super-Heroes to the standalone Cartoon Network series Krypto the Superdog.īeyond questions about the Season 2 and the future, Titans fans may also have a few curiosities about how certain things played out in Season 1. The super-powered canine has been used sparingly in live-action in the past, showing up for a Smallville episode. Personally, I'd like to know when the producers made the jump from introducing Superboy to also bringing Krypto into it. I think we knew that would be a direction that would be exciting for the fans and a tease that would be interesting for us as well, and that was the best spot to put it in. It definitely wasn't something that we thought of until the very end. It wasn't totally planned from day one - or maybe it was in heads, but they didn't tell me. He did say that it was far from a last-minute decision, though. The way Greg Walker puts it, the creative team didn't make the Superboy reveal a part of the initial plan for Titans. The cockiness also makes him perfect for Titans. Plus, part of the various Superboy incarnations' charm is the character's sometimes brash and brazen attitude, which sets him apart from the pensive Clark Kent. All things considered, though, Subject 13 probably shouldn't be fully blamed for reacting in such ways. Superboy clearly won't be starting things off as a purely virtuous protagonist, since his Titans introduction involved a bunch of Cadmus scientists getting murdered. Not only because it would be awesome to see it adapted for live-action, but also because it would require other iconic DC Comics characters to get introduced in Season 2. It's a reveal that's as dark and comic book-y as everything else we've seen in Titans, so I'm hoping to see it come to fruition in one way or another. Keeping spoilers limited, Superboy discovers that his DNA backstory was strikingly more complicated than he'd thought, causing huge ripples in the surrounding story. However, the DC Universe drama should obviously deliver a take on Superboy's revised origins from his Teen Titans years. The original idea basically had Superboy as a test tube hero filling in after Superman was killed by Doomsday. Titans is apparently using a launching-off point that's similar to Kon-El's comic origins, so I'm extremely interested to learn the genetic modifications that went into his super-creation. That's a lot of story to get through, too. Conner Kent, assuming he sticks with that moniker for Titans, will likely get the same kind of complex and mentally fraught approach when his story gets explored in Season 2. Greg Walker talked about how one of Titans' biggest draws for him was the psychological and emotional journey that Dick Grayson has been on ever since his earliest days as Bruce Wayne's sidekick. ![]() These are all questions that are interesting for any kind of Superman character, and are really interesting for Conner. You know, questions of identity, questions of powers, questions of your place in the universe. What I can say is that we still want to take the same dimensionalized and psychologically grounded approach that we do with the other characters and apply that same pressure to Conner Kent and see what shakes out when you put a character like that through that test. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, showrunner Greg Walker talked about what fans can expect to see from the cloned alien badass in Season 2. ![]()
