Missy Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 From HollywoodReporter.com: Teen Titans growing up at Warner Bros. By Borys Kit May 31, 2007 DC Comics' superteam Teen Titans is getting the big-screen treatment courtesy of Warner Bros. Pictures. The live-action adaptation is being produced by Akiva Goldsman and Kerry Foster through their Weed Road banner, while Mark Verheiden has been brought on board to write the script. The Teen Titans first appeared in 1964 as a sort of junior Justice League, comprising Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Speedy, the respective sidekicks of A-list heroes Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow. The comic series reached X-Men-style success in the 1980s, when the team was relaunched in a new comic with the characters no longer kids but college-age adults and the stories explored more mature themes. The series also saw the addition of Cyborg, Starfire and Raven, original characters who weren't sidekicks, while the character of Robin matured into one called Nightwing. Most recently, the comic was adapted to the television screen with a Cartoon Network series that ran from 2003-06 that used many of the '80s comics' heroes and story lines. It is not known which heroes will be used, but Nightwing is said to be in the mix. Goldsman said the tone will be consistent with such recent Warners' comic book fare as "Batman Begins," "Superman Returns" and the upcoming "Watchmen." Jessica Goodman and Jesse Ehrman are overseeing for Warners. Gregory Noveck is overseeing for DC Comics. Verheiden, repped by CAA and Untitled, was a writer-producer on "Smallville," the TV series that revolved around the adventures of a young Clark Kent/Superman, and is a writer-producer on "Battlestar Galactica." Verheiden also is a comic writer and creator, penning "Timecop" and "The Mask," both of which were adapted to the big screen in the early 1990s. Goldsman and Weed Road have several comic book movies in development, including "Doom Patrol" and "The Losers." He is in preproduction on the superhero-themed "Tonight He Comes," starring Will Smith. Nightwing... on the big screen?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dread Posted May 31, 2007 Report Share Posted May 31, 2007 Doom Patrol? On the big screen???? I've been wanting that since before Morrison made them crazy! A TT movie could be cool but it could be so so bad too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chops Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Ron Perlman did such a great job in the cartoon that he's the only voice I want to hear behind Terminator's mask. Oh, and they better call him by his full name, or atleast Deathstroke. No more of this "Cartoon Network thinks Daethstroke the Terminator is too violent of a name so call him Slade" shit.

Stavros Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I can't wait to argue over whether or not this is in continuity with the Nolanverse. It clearly isn't by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I can't wait to argue over whether or not this is in continuity with the Nolanverse. *GASP!* Does this mean that we can resurrect the "Not in continuity" thread?!? =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
