Titans isn't DC Universe's best superhero series, but it hits all the right fanboy emotions in its Season 2 premiere

The Washington Post

"Titans is back, streaming its second season on the DC Universe app," says David Betancourt. "For now, the show can enjoy some breathing room: It’s coming out well after the debut of the best not-suitable-for-work superhero show (Amazon’s The Boys) and before the launch of the Disney+ streaming service, in all its Marvel Studios and Star Wars glory. Consider this Titans second season as a potential audition for your DC Universe app dollars down the road. Is “Titans” the best superhero stream out now? No, again, see The Boys. It’s not even the best original show on the app (that would be the surprisingly amazing Doom Patrol). But Titans hits all the right fanboy emotions in its Season 2 premiere. You’re not subscribing to DC’s streaming service unless you already love its characters anyway. And if the classic ’80s Teen Titans tales that made DC’s kid sidekicks one of the best comic book series/teams of that decade are your thing, you’ll enjoy this modernized, mature take on that mythos."
