Titans (Dual Audio)

Part of the joy of comic book characters is that they can quite literally factor into any kind of genre that the storyteller sees fit. The Teen Titans, for example, have effectively been used on the small screen for both traditional superhero narratives (via the titular animated series) and for absurdist musical comedy mayhem (via Teen Titans Go!). DC Universe’s opaquely dark flagship series Titans, however, delivers an enjoyably bizarre genre mash-up of moody noir, psychological horror, and bloody-knuckle action. This definitely isn’t another Arrow-verse spinoff, kids.Titans Season 1-3 Download.

Perhaps the first sign showcasing Titans‘ more mature approach is the fact that there is only one teenager in the group, while everyone else is rocking more adult sneers and grimaces. 14-year-old Teagan Croft shows a lot of promise as Rachel Roth, whose demonic lineage gives her powers to tap into others’ emotions, making her a target for a strange cult. The ensuing hunt drives the story early, on, and in fact, Raven’s origin tale is perhaps the most intriguing element of the Titans episodes screened for critics.Raven’s abilities are both mysterious and downright spooky as hell, as Raven’s inner demons imbue a genuine horror vibe that DC adaptations don’t often tap into. Nothing on par with Heath Ledger’s Joker yet, but disturbing stuff nonetheless. Much credit goes to the director for the first two episodes, Brad Anderson, who helmed one of my favorite horror flicks of all time, 2001’s unsettling and undervalued Session 9, as well as other solid thrillers like The Machinist and Transsiberian.Rachel’s tragic life events that set up Titans‘ noir-lite detective genre leanings. After being outed as “special,” she soon finds herself in the mildly empathetic crosshairs of Detective Dick Grayson, whose portrayer Brendan Thwaites would have a drawer full of gold medals if Sullen Brooding was an Olympic event.
