The DCU’s ‘Teen Titans’ Has To Get These Things Right
James Gunn and Peter Safran’s DCU can pick the best aspects from Teen Titans iterations of the past to do the teen team justice.
The announcement that a live-action Teen Titans movie is a go in James Gunn's DCU is exciting, to say the least (ironically, Teen Titans Go! has already been to the movies). Their last foray into live-action was with the HBO Max series Titans, and while it did receive fair praise, the audience wasn't keen on its darker take on the team. Teen Titans Go! To the Movies was also well-received critically (Collider gave the film a B+ in its review), adhered to the comedic anarchy of the series, and was a modest success at the box-office, but was clearly aimed at a much younger crowd. Two mediums with two differing objectives; grounded vs. fun. What a Teen Titans movie has to do is find the middle ground, and this is what they need to do to get there.
