Teen Titans Movie Coming
DC Comics' Teen Titans will be adapted as a live-action movie for Warner Brothers, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Akiva Goldsman and Kerry Foster will produce through their Weed Road company, while Mark Verheiden has been brought on board to write the script.
The Teen Titans first appeared in 1964 as a sort of junior Justice League, comprising Robin, Kid Flash, Aqualad, Wonder Girl and Speedy, the respective sidekicks of Batman, Flash, Aquaman, Wonder Woman and Green Arrow.
The comic series reached X-Men-style success in the 1980s, when the team was relaunched in a new comic with the characters no longer kids but college-age adults, and the stories explored more mature themes. The series also saw the addition of Cyborg, Starfire and Raven, original characters who weren't sidekicks, while the character of Robin matured into one called Nightwing.
Most recently, the comic was adapted to the television screen with a Cartoon Network series that ran from 2003-'06 that used many of the '80s comics' heroes and storylines.
It is not known which heroes will be used in the new movie, but Nightwing is said to be in the mix.
Goldsman said the tone will be consistent with such recent Warners comic-book fare as Batman Begins, Superman Returns and the upcoming Watchmen.
