The new “Titans” Season 01 completely retells the Teen Titans as a show with an edgier tone leaning on the themes of identity, acceptance, and personal struggles. Leading the narrative here is Dick Grayson, Batman sidekick, and ‘);It centers around a young man starting out on his own in the persona of Nightwing and Rachel Roth, a young girl struggling with the forces of her own destiny. It is a marvelous attempt at setting up a very noir setting for young heroes to fight not only the antagonists but their issues as well.
Starfire is one of the main characters of the team, who has a mysterious past and will bring energy to the group, Beast Boy, who is humorous and playful, to enrich the team’s character. The series combines a lot of action and strong dramatic moments despite a certain lack of balance: the last episodes seem sometimes hurried and insufficient in terms of pacing. The main cinematography and, to an even greater extent, the outlook of the film will be stunning, and music most engaging; however, the theme will be rather sombre, which will make it somewhat incongruous with traditional comic book components.
Still, there is an array of story issues while “Titans” poses genuine family and individual development issues for the audience, making them easily relate to. Altogether, the season manages to continue the franchise and bring it to modern sensibilities with some gritty realism and dramatic substance behind lead characters, making the series worth watching for those who enjoy a thoughtful and turbulent take on superheroes.
