The news always seems to move fast when you’re the busiest. Two trailers for very different shows dropped today whilst I was working away. It’s always good to just give opinions and Titans and Elite are going to try and be among the biggest shows this fall. Lets dig in.
Titans Season 2
I saw this trailer at Comic Con but I am amazed at how much better this trailer looks than the entirety of the first season. There’s more energy, flashier clothes, and it looks like the show is going to be having fun, rather than just being grim/dark all the time.
I still am not 100% sure of what kind of American accent Iain Glenn is using as Bruce Wayne, but he is like two steps up on the actor caliber ranking over anyone in this cast so Titans is good to have him.
If this entire season were just Hawk and Dove fighting or Donna Troy and Starfire teaming up to beat up bad guys, it would win an Emmy.
I know that Aqualad is white in the comics, but I am so used to Kaldur’ahm from Young Justice that I was disappointed the Titans Aqualad is white (and probably straight). Drew Van Acker is a good actor though. I am interested in how this version will play given that something monumental just happened with Aqualad on Young Justice.
Elite
This is less a teaser for the show than just reminding us how attractive the cast is.
There seem to be some new faces but the color and quick cuts and fades made me go crosseyed.
How fun this is returning in September, just in time to go back to school.
