The first episode of the streaming TV series "Titans" based on the DC universe finally went live on October 12. From critics to ordinary audiences, the general comments were good, except for the old "DC all black" drama critics People, the reasons for the bad reviews made everyone who eats melons want to laugh at them, and what is "full of 'old-fashioned' (old-fashioned) violent plots", etc. This kind of evaluation is indeed a bit old-fashioned.

The four protagonists of the first season of the American TV series "Titans", from left to right: Beast Boy, Crow, Robin and Spark
I have always felt that the two giants of American comics, Marvel movies have done well, and DC has done well except for movies. What they have in common is that they treat senior fans and ordinary audiences equally, or, in other words, they are not familiar with their comics for decades. The people along the way are friendly enough.
The superhero team "Titans" under DC Comics has been in the army for more than 20 years. The screenwriters have reorganized its members at least twice. Although they are also considered to be the oldest superhero team in the comics industry, but To be honest, many of the comics images, many people may not be able to name, this team itself has allusions, they are basically from "Teen Titans" (appeared earlier, first appeared in the comics in 1964) , and the members of "Teen Titans" were originally superheroes' teenage assistants.
It is conceivable that the relationship between the characters is so entangled. If you are not chasing after the senior fans who are not left behind in every comic, ordinary people may not be able to name these various comic characters, and even if they know their names, they may not be able to follow them. The characters are right on.
Therefore, the American TV series "Titans" seems to deliberately simplify the story lines of the members, and let these subordinate superheroes in this series, but mostly rely on the first-line superheroes.
Of course, there's one character that can't be dismissed, and that's the original "Robin" Dick Grayson, who is too closely related to DC's mainstay Batman.
In the play, Dick Grayson, who has grown up and left Batman, became a police detective in the Detroit Police Department, but he was still entangled in his past with Batman↓↓↓
Before, I specifically introduced the relationship between the first generation of Robin and Batman, who are like father and son, and who are also teachers and friends. Special subculture scholars pointed out that Batman and Robin are like Sherlock Holmes and Watson, and such a partnership structure can be traced back to Cervantes' "Don Quixote" in Don Quixote and Sancho.
For decades, although readers are not tired of the story of Batman and Robin fighting side by side, the screenwriters are probably really searching. The basic framework of the story of Batman and Robin is always "Robin finds clues and follows up Lost, Batman finally turned things around and solved the problem."
So the screenwriters let the first generation Robin enter the teenage rebellious period, and then let the adult Robin long to get rid of the shadow of Batman. He no longer appeared in the "Wonder Boy Robin" comics, but changed into a circus costume and appeared in the comic "Nightwing". That's the end of Dick Grayson's story as Robin.
Please pay attention to my statement above, because in the American drama "Titan", the screenwriter has fine-tuned the character line again. It's true that Grayson single-handedly fought the streets of Detroit in a Nightwing outfit in the first episode, but the credits say this: Brenton Thwaites as Richard "Dick" Grayson / Robin Grayson's identity has been simplified, and his superhero code is only Robin, and if you look at the code name of Robin, the third and fifth Robins that appeared in Titan and Teen Titans are both. Will not appear in this simplified version of the DC universe, while also indicating that the possibility of a future Batman appearing in this series is not ruled out.
Robin
Moving on to the American TV series Titans, Australian teenage actor Brenton Thwaites, who rose to fame in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, plays Grayson, who is clearly the lead character. Grayson's story was recounted for most of the first episode, which twice flashed back to Grayson's past, the death of his parents, through Teagan Croft's Raven.
In the 38th issue of "Detective Comics" in 1940, the Grayson family was famous for performing trapeze, known as "Flying Grayson". Before a performance, the gangster who asked for protection money and cut off the rope used for the performance, both Grayson's parents fell to their deaths ↓↓↓

Let's talk about Raven, or Raven, she is not in the first line of DC's superheroes, but her strength is amazing, and the character setting is also very fascinating. She has experienced three lives, which can be said to be the American version. Three Lives Three Worlds, she has powerful abilities. The reason why she can flash back to Grayson's past in the play lies in her magical ability. She also has soul-suppressing power, healing power, and summoning power. In the first episode, she has already tried her skills. .
Crow
"Titan" has 12 episodes in the first season. There are 4 leading actors, two men and two women. In addition to the crow, the other is Xinghuo, played by Anna Diop. Xinghuo is also a sturdy super heroine. The attack and spell attack values are quite high, because this princess from Tamarin has the super power of absorbing solar energy. Personally, I think that the so-called "outdated violence" by drama critics probably stems from the fighting style that Xinghuo presents in the drama.
spark
In the comics over the years, Starfire has dated Nightwing, Red Arrow and Red Hood. Given that the show is based on the Titan worldview, the alien princess is likely to have a spark of love with Grayson.
Finally, let's talk about Beast Boy, played by Ryan Potter, who is best known for dubbing the actor Hiroshi in the cartoon "Super Marines". Beast Boy only shows up in a body near the end of the first episode.
In DC comics, Beast Boy's positioning is a joke, so if "Titans" will have comedy, then basically rely on him. As for his ability, it is to change into various animals at will. Judging from the special effects presented in the first episode, it probably belongs to the level of fifty cents↓↓↓
