Titans - DC Comic Pilot renamed to Blackbirds

27 Apr 2015

Share on Reddit


Thanks to Season Zero and LullaSerieWhore for sending us this update.

The show is now entitled “Blackbirds” and the shooting is expected to start in the summer, in Toronto. With the upfronts coming soon (TNT is on May 13th), more information should come out. Will Roy Harper/Speedy (Colton Haynes) be a part of it after leaving Arrow? It’s very likely…

    Blackbirds honestly sounds better, but draws a bit towards Birds of Prey. Looking forward to see whom they are going to cast.

    I didn't know this show ws supposed to be linked to the Arrowverse? I don't think it was, right?

    Also, not sure about the new name. I don't hate (actually kinda like it), but I do think the name Titans is better known than Blackbirds.

    When I hear Titans linked to superheroes, I immediately think of the Teen Titans. Blackbirds doesn't have the same effect on me.

    Then again, I'm not that well known with the DC universe (I know more about Marvel), so maybe DC fans won't have this problem.

    I preferred Titans, I don't even know what Blackbirds is supposed to mean.

    right?! why not leave the team name, Arrow "Green Arrow", The Flash, Supergirl, why not leave it

    Should've left it as Titans but w/e. Shrugs.

    yeah there was the VERY strong possibility that it would be part of the Flarrow Universe, so is Supergirl. Blackbirds is cool and all but it makes it feel like a NEW superhero team instead of of a WELL known superhero team

    the only "Blackbird" i can think of is Nightwing

    No clue. But I look forward to the show.

    same, is it confirmed that it's picked up for SERIES or only for the pilot?

    Blackbirds is great title but they DEFINITELY should've left the original title, Roy could become part of the series?! whoa

  11. Spindae227 April 2015 at 09:46

    Can't remember at this point. I think to series but someone else has to confirm it for U.

  12. Lulla27 April 2015 at 09:49

    Only a pilot for now.

  13. Graydon27 April 2015 at 09:51

    It's weird though. They're the Teen Titans. And Nightwing's the only bird motif hero.

  14. ivan27 April 2015 at 09:55

    oh ok, i just thought with all this promotion, it was finally picked up for series, dang it!

  15. Spindae227 April 2015 at 10:01

    dove as well? But still a weir choice, not familiar if there is a comic book series or some sort of it.

  16. Joy Haldar27 April 2015 at 10:13

    They still haven't cast Nightwing?

    ReplyDelete
  17. Graydon27 April 2015 at 10:20

    I don't think he's in this iteration. Wait are you referring to the Teen Titans? Or Blackbirds? Because the Titans have had a series since the late 1960s- early 70s I believe. Never heard of Blackbirds though.

    no yeah i know, i meant on THIS show the only black bird that's a regular is Nightwing

  22. ivan27 April 2015 at 10:37

    i don't think they've cast ANYONE, if Colton really IS coming to the show he's the only one

  23. ivan27 April 2015 at 10:37

    that's Marvel not DC

  24. Graydon27 April 2015 at 11:33

    Well technically he's just animals and shapeshifting. But yeah I guess in a way.

  25. Adrian Werner27 April 2015 at 11:40

    Might be the team has a lot members who weren't in the titans.

    ReplyDelete
  26. IvyB27 April 2015 at 11:45

    Isn't he more of a blue bird, or red bird in the new 52 before he became a spy? Not much of a black bird either.

  27. popcultureguy27 April 2015 at 12:55

    I can't see Colton Hayes signing on full-time to this.

    hate the the title, titans sounded so much better, this title I hate.

    Blackbirds seems to be a direct reference to Raven and Nightwing. They might be planning on including Bette Kane, the original Bat-Girl who would later take on the name Flamebird and darken the colour pallet of her costume. They may also alter Starfire's appearance to add wings and/or bird like motifs. Other than that I can't see how the term Blackbirds relates to the team.

    Extremely odd title....made me think of The Blackhawk Squadron at first.

    But as the comments note, there are a few people with bird motifs involved. Nightwing, Raven, Hawk & Dove.

  31. ivan27 April 2015 at 14:12

    they've said that the characters are basically the same as in the Cartoon Network show though: Dick Grayson "Robin/Nightwing", Starfire and Raven and 2 new ones

  32. ivan27 April 2015 at 14:12

    i thought Beast Boy wasn't going to be on the show?

    ReplyDelete
  33. ivan27 April 2015 at 14:13

    yeah i guess, DANG IT! it definitely makes no sense to rename it then

    ReplyDelete
  34. IvyB27 April 2015 at 14:33

    Yeah, this is a really confusing title that doesn't seem to have anything to do with Teen Titans.

  35. Ray27 April 2015 at 14:36

    Errr, Nightwing, Raven, Hawk, and Dove....

    The title change may have had to do with another show bearing a similar title, NBC's short-lived Titans starring Casper van Dien.

    Titans sonded better.

    Sounds like a poorly authenticated item. "Arrow" is on the CW network, not TNT. Colton Haynes does NOT play "Speedy", he plays Roy Harper, aka Arsenal (Oliver Queen's sister Thea is nicknamed "Speedy.") And it's already been reported that Colton Haynes is leaving Arrow to pursue other offers in film, but no mention of another superhero-based tv show. There's no connection between TNT's Titans/Blackbird/Whateveryoucallit and any of the DC shows on CW (Arrow & Flash) or CBS (Supergirl), though there is connection between those shows (both have the same showrunners/producers.

  39. JustinC8327 April 2015 at 15:50

    Ya this shows and the DC/CW universe have zero connection so no Roy Harper played by Colton Haynes will not be a part of it.

  40. JustinC8327 April 2015 at 15:50

    Also good lord that's a terrible title. Should have kept Titans.

  41. Lulla27 April 2015 at 16:24

    Plus another show for WGN is called like that.

    "Will Roy Harper/Speedy (Colton Haynes) be a part of it after leaving Arrow? It’s very likely…"


    No it's not.

  43. AnnoDomini27 April 2015 at 18:20

    Honestly, there should be a 'bird' theme anyways considering most of the characters in this version of Teen Titans will have a bird moniker.


    - Nightwing
    - Raven
    - Hawk
    - Dove


    The only ones missing bird monikers will be Starfire and Oracle.

    Not tooooo crazy over the title change...

  45. Graydon27 April 2015 at 20:31

    I heard the line-up was Nightwing, Starfire, Cyborg, Beast Boy and Raven.

  46. Graydon27 April 2015 at 20:35

    Right except Hawk and Dove aren't on this version from what's been said it's Cyborg, Raven, Nightwing, Starfire and Beast Boy. And even then it's still a weird name. They're the Teen Titans.
