superheroes used to come in capes and in
comic books but now they're on TV
streaming services t-shirts toys you
can't go anywhere without seeing one DC
Comics is one of the most famous lines
and the new show Titans is ready to take
off the new DC Universe on the streaming
service joining us now live are the
stars of the show Brenton Thwaites and
Minka Kelly thank you both for being
with us thank you for having us you
Jason first question to you sir is
whenever you walk into a say Starbucks
or a coffee shop and they want your name
do you say sweets Brenton Thwaites no as
a dick dick no but I will from now on
thank you for the heads-up dick is the
name of his character yeah dick race
racing Dick Grayson is Robin remembers
which is a good thing is there were some
raised eyebrows around the studio this
isn't the funny sidekick that we were
also seeing tell us about how it's
different then the goal of the show was
to create something that was a little
edgier and out the DC Universe platform
streaming service gave the writers a
little bit more of a a little bit more
freedom to do that in creating not only
of fight scenes you know our characters
could swear obviously from the trailer
you can see that and and we could show a
little bit more than we would normally
in a superhero show so it's a little bit
darker we see these guys a little bit
more emotionally broken down right from
the get-go as opposed to reaching that
point and so it's a different it's a
different point in the story to start
from but I think overall just a more
more sad more broken a bit more a little
bit more emphasis on the backstory in
their emotional conscious Minka tell us
about your character in the show I
played on slash dove who is part of a
duo called Hawk in dev and Hawk is the
avatar war and chaos and I'm that of
peace and order and they sort of balance
each other out and there's also romantic
aspect to the relationship a very
codependent one if you will these
characters are very flawed deeply broken
and haven't quite found their way so
they sort of medicate with each other
and their dysfunction so sort of
somebody that grew up watching Teen
Titans go how would they figure into
being the target audience for this show
now that they're older this is the more
grown-up version this is the this is for
their parents perhaps this is the
writers have done a really beautiful job
of sort of creating this new world this
more grown-up gritty dark version while
still keeping the superhero aspect of it
which is important but not like any
other show you've ever seen on TV this
is this is a bit different well that was
a while ago at the Teen Titans yeah so
it's kind of it's the same same target
audience just they've all grown up now
so exactly something for the original
target audience that you know it's a
little bit different in style and
obviously you know the story is slightly
different but the characters are all the
same yeah and you get to just see how
these characters became who they are
you're from the very beginning learning
about how they've been broken down and
how they've become who they are and why
and which which is the most interesting
and and what's also so great about being
able to do this on a streaming platform
you have the freedom to go a little
deeper and go a little further when it
comes to making a real story and and a
relatable one at that
is it a superpower to be able to sit
through an entire day of five-minute
satellite windows and work your way
across the country in all the different
stations listening to the same questions
over and over and over and doing it with
a smile
[Music]
and then we got people like you who make
us laugh so it's great hey put that back
thank you you're not gonna go so well
very lucky all right well Detroit loves
you I know the setting is Detroit so how
can we see the show real quick before
we're out of time you can see on October
12th on the DC Universe streaming
service and there you have it you ready
thank you so much for being with us both
of you thank you Jason thanks man
