Now, he can add a whole other superhero team to that list.
According to a report from The Hollywood Reporter, DC Studios is now working on a live-action film starring the fan-favorite superhero team the Teen Titans. DC Studios has Ana Nogueira, an actor and writer who is also writing the script for Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow (2027), to work on the script.
The Teen Titans Are More Than a Classic Cartoon
Originally introduced in the comic book series The Brave and the Bold in 1964, the Teen Titans have served as a Justice League-type team made up of teenage superheroes. They would receive their own series in 1966, made up of Kid Flash, Robin, Aqualad, and Wonder Girl.
Throughout the decades, Teen Titans would feature numerous heroes, including Speedy, Aquagirl, Bumblebee, Hawk, Dove, Harlequin, Raven, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy, and Terra. The most popular incarnation of the Teen Titans came in the 2003 animated series featuring Robin (Scott Menville), Starfire (Hynden Walch), Cyborg (Khary Payton), Raven (Tara Strong), and Beast Boy (Greg Cipes).
