Newly Surfaced TITANS Set Photos Reveal A Grounded Take On Beast Boy, Raven, And Starfire

DC is developing a Teen Titans TV series for its planned streaming service and some set photos have surfaced today showing a very different take on team members Beast Boy and Raven. Check them out...

The first officially released images from Titans impressed fans as DC's take on characters like Robin, Hawk, and Dove were all very comic book accurate and looked surprisingly good for a TV series with a middling budget. However, fans will no doubt have something to say about these new photos from the set of the series featuring Ryan Potter's Beast Boy, Teagan Croft's Raven, and Anna Diop as Starfire.

Considering the fact this trio all look very alien in the source material, it's fair to say that what we're seeing here is extremely grounded in comparison. Beast Boy's green skin has been replaced with green hair and Raven is missing her trademark cloak and hood (that could be added later on, though).

It's Starfire who looks most different from the comic books, however, because while she has colourful hair and a bright outfit, it looks more like she's on a night out as opposed to the costume we're used to seeing on the page. Still, these are just set photos so they could all look better when the official images are inevitably released at some point in the near future. What do you guys think of these images?

She looks like a cheap hooker.

How do you fuck up the look of Starfire that badly? Her hair is just....
Not crazy about getting rid of Beast Boy's iconic green skin either. But hey, I at least get that. No one wants to slather an assload of makeup on for every single episode.

 

[Cable 7]

Teen Titans GO has been vindicated.

 

[Buer]

Beast boy doesn't look too bad but that Starfire? Yeesh. Also is that supposed to be the new Raven next to beast boy?

 

[Computery Guy]

Someone please carefully explain to me how the live action Starfire somehow looks like more of a literal prostitute than the comic one despite showing less skin

 

[Orkeosaurus]

Besides Raven looking like a troon at least they got the 2008 mall goth look down, and beast boy seems alright.

 

[Ozul]

Starfire HAS to be black though you guys, that way even if the show is shit, people will still praise it for being diverse.
Actually can we change her name from starfire to startoken?

 

[Tootsie Bear]

I never knew Lil Yachty was a drag queen!

Diversity and :autism:

 

[RG 448]

This looks literally as good as everything else DC has done outside of comic books in the last several years.

 

[Broseph Stalin]

So is Cyborg gonna be a white dude or something?

Yup.

Anyway, I'm not even the biggest Teen Titans fan but this really, really hurts. I'm REAAAALLY hoping this is like test footage and not the final costumes, but if these are what to expect... well, I can goddamn guarantee that this TV Series is going to bomb HARD.

I will give it one thing though, at least their costumes look better than the failed JLA pilot back in the 90s:

........actually, no. I take that back. They somehow managed to makes the 90s costumes look better in comparison. Holy shit.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

I just want anti-TTG autists to sperg at this so bad

 

[The Nothingness]

Either the skin colors of Beast Boy and Starfire will be changed digitally in post (along with Starfire's eyes) or black is the new orange

Meanwhile, Beast Boy reminds me of the Green Ranger from the Time Force season.

 

[Done]

"Grounded" lmao

 

[Bassomatic]

I really want to see the costume budget, I bet it's comically large and there's a makeup artist in a brand new S class laughing all the way home.

 

[Spicy Hog]

Everybody is going to focus on Starfire because she's black but I'm still pissed that Raven looks like a fucking tranny. Did they hire back up extras for these fucking roles?

 

[Racist Trash]

Please stop making live action shit unless you are going to pour way too much money into it.


One of the benefits of animation is that you can do all those fantastical powers without having to worry about real world restraints, so why do this? because from the looks of it you can't even get the basics right.

 

[Gordon Cole]

I love how all the cartoon nerds complaining about Teen Titans can only choose Teen Titans GO! or The Dangerhair Squad.

They all look like cheap hookers.

FTFY.
