DC Announces New Teen Titans Lineup For 2018

When there's trouble you know who to call...

Teen Titans DC 2018

The Teen Titans have been through a whole bunch of shakeups over the years, but for 2018, DC are planning one of the group's biggest.

Announced at this year's WonderCon for a July release, Teen Titans will be relaunching with a brand-new creative team and roster. Supernatural writer Adam Glass will script the comic while Bernard Chang handles art duties, and the roster they're going with promises to herald a new era for DC's premier sidekick group.

Every generation has their own Titans, and while franchise staples Starfire and the two previous Robins (Dick Grayson and Tim Drake) are absent, this new team will be headed up by Damian Wayne, Lobo's daughter (a completely new character called Crush), Kid Flash and the new Red Arrow: Emiko Queen. Lobo's daughter isn't the only newcomer however, with two other characters - Djinn and Roundhouse - also set to join the group.

It's by far the biggest shakeup the Titans have experienced for a long time, but it's one that makes sense. The old Titans team had been struggling to find the same kind of popularity they used to, and while there's no denying they're all loved for their own reasons, it was time for most to move on and allow a new generation of heroes to takeover.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
