13 Most Anticipated Upcoming New Comic Book TV Shows

8. Titans

The New Teen Titans
Warner Bros.

Teen Titans, the popular comic series which became a perhaps even more popular animated TV show, is now getting the live-action treatment. Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment are launching their own streaming service next year, and Titans is the big new series they're kicking things off with.

As the name suggests, it's centred around a group of teenage, soon-to-be superheroes, as they deal with criminal threats and the regular struggles of teenage life alike.

The live-action show is being created by Greg Berlanti (naturally), DC's live-action overseer Geoff Johns, and Akiva Goldsman (writer of, er, Batman Forever and Batman & Robin). It'll feature typical team members like Raven and Starfire (Cyborg is presumably off-limits), along with Dick Grayson, who emerges from the shadows to lead the group.

If they can get the right cast and capture the spirit of the animated series, and tackle the same themes too, then there's every chance this could be another great entry into the DC TV canon.

Air Date: TBC, 2018
