Each week as a new episode of Titans was due to premiere DC Daily would drop a new behind-the-scenes featurette. Somewhere around the middle of the season one of those featurettes gave us a look at what appeared to be a climactic battle sequence.
In the very sequence we saw Raven and Starfire in much more comic book accurate costumes.
Also, do you remember hearing that Beast Boy would have green skin by the end of season 1? Well now we have an idea why those costumes and that green skin never appeared.
Titans showrunner Greg Walker has confirmed in an interview with TVLine that the original season 1 finale episode has been cut from the series.
So I’m curious, in part because the episode count changed from 12 to 11: Did your original finale turn into the Season 2 premiere?
A version of that, yes. We’re cannibalizing some of the stuff from Episode 12 [for the premiere]. We thought it was such a good cliffhanger at the end of 11, and we wanted to go for an even bigger, better Season 2 opener. We had a big idea, and our friends at DC bought it.That’s what I figured — you were watching a cut of 11 and once Dick’s eyes went dark, you decided, “Hey, we could just end it here,” and then Season 2 is about what happens next.
Yeah. It’s really fun to be able to you know where we’re going to go with it. We’re going to also use [the Season 2 premiere] to launch a new villain, and because Trigon’s role in canon is so huge, we felt like we really needed to give him a really big episode, the kind you can launch a season with.
We highly recommend you hit the link above and check out the full interview to catch Walker talking about his favourite moments from season 1.
Titans stars Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson/Robin, Anna Diop as Starfire, Teagan Croft as Raven, Ryan Potter as Beast Boy, Alan Ritchson as Hawk and Minka Kelly as Dove. The series debuts new episodes each Friday on DC Universe.
