Titans - Rose / Ghosts television review

The past returns to haunt the original Titans in “Rose” and “Ghosts” when Dr. Light (Michael Mosley) breaks out of prison and begins targeting members of the team. Dick (Brenton Thwaites) brings everyone back to Titans Tower, where the new recruits continue to train, and Jason Todd (Curran Walters) continues to be an ass (if the writers of the show were trying to capture the unlikable nature of the Todd Robin that led to fans voting he be murdered by the Joker, they are definitely going down the right path). Light certainly comes off creepy and dangerous, even if the design of his costume could use a little work, but it’s the confirmation that he’s working with Deathstroke (Esai Morales), something the team has yet to discover, that increases the danger for the Titans. Deathstroke’s plan to divide and conquer (an immediately already divided team) begins with the capture of Todd.

Titans - The Complete First SeasonSurprisingly, DC Universe’s Titans isn’t the dumpster fire that it appeared to be from the show’s initial trailer. In the show’s First Season, recently orphaned teenager Rachel Roth (Teagan Croft) brings together brooding police detective and former vigilante sidekick Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites), amnesiac alien Koriand’r (Anna Diop), and shape-shifting teen Gar Logan (Ryan Potter). Over the course of the season the show will also introduce a few of Dick’s crime-fighting buddies such as Donna Troy (Conor Leslie), and Hawk (Alan Ritchson) and Dove (Minka Kelly).

Delivering a Robin who didn’t get out from Batman’s shadow before a bit too much of his mentor’s world view rubbed off on him is a questionable one, but also helps frame Dick as every bit as lost as the young girl with bizarre powers who he tries to help. Dick’s questionable choices are explored in several episodes, and the arrival of Jason Todd (Curran Walters) on the scene as the new Robin creates even more.

Filling in a bit about Chromes (genetically-enhanced humans which played a role in last week’s episode), “Beholder” features a killer (Michael Eklund) targeting the select group who died under apparently natural circumstances, including the murder of a Chrome which Detective Stahl (Minka Kelly) brings to Kennex (Karl Urban) and Dorian‘s (Michael Ealy) attention. Stealing a bit of each victim’s DNA using experimental nanobots (which were outlawed for killing donors during medical trials), their killer is slowly building a map of a new perfect face piece by stolen piece.
