Here are your New Teen Titans: A Titans Discussion Thread

[Sanji Himura]

When one thinks of the Teen Titans today, they generally think of this team:

Today, DC Entertainment announced who would be in Titans, a live action series being developed for TNT...

...Yes that TNT that used to show Law and Order reruns 7 hours a day. With that elephant out of the room, here are your New Teen Titans:

Dick Grayson/Nightwing

One of the first characters announced when news broke out of the series announcement, Dick Grayson makes his return as the leader of the team.

Starfire

One of three returning Titans from the cartoon, Starfire makes her return to the team in similar fashion to how she was introduced in the comics.

Raven

Closing out the trio, Raven makes her return to the team using similar origins.

Hawk and Dove

Hawk and Dove! Though they're a big part of the Justice League and the DC comics continuity itself, not many people know about this superhero team. I myself had all but forgotten them until I heard they would be in the new Titans show. Hawk and Dove have both been in the Teen Titans comics (the comics and a cameo in the show). Reportedly, the show will be using the New 52 incarnation of the duo. The New 52 consist of Hank Hall (Hawk) and Dawn Granger (Dove), while the original consisted of Hank and his brother, Don.

Hawk and Dove possess a power known as "danger sense transformation" which allows them to gain superhuman strength, unlimited stamina, enhanced speed and agility. Hawk relies on Dove to keep his violent suppressed. Without her, his rage becomes uncontrollable!

Oracle/Barbra Gordon

Making her first appearance on any televised media since Batman Beyond, Barbra Gordon appears here as the techie of the group, a position held in the cartoon by Cyborg.
