This past summer, when the DC Universe (DCU) streaming service showed-up at San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) with a Titans subscriber-appreciation poster, inexplicably the poster image gave no indication of what to expect from season two. This was a huge, missed-opportunity to get subscribers and potential subscribers excited for the debut of fan-favorite characters, Deathstroke, Superboy and Krypto. Fortunately, after wrapping-up the season one cliffhanger, the Titans season two premiere episode (dropped September 6) spent the last few minutes giving viewers a glimpse of these new faces (including Bruce Wayne, sans cape & cowl).
Last year, Titans debuted at New York Comic Con (NYCC) with a Wednesday night, pre-convention premiere. And as the content provider’s inaugural, original series, Titans was featured on much of the DCU promotional SWAG.
Hopefully, this year’s Titans SWAG at NYCC incorporates the new characters seen at the end of S2:E1, and the characters introduced later in season one: Wonder Girl and Robin (Jason Todd). DCU would do well to highlight these characters as fan favorites, capable of enticing new subscribers.
Part of the DCU Titans promotional SWAG at NYCC 2018 included an autograph signing featuring many of season one’s heroes (Robin, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy, Hawk & Dove). And it’d be outstanding if part of the NYCC 2019, DCU Titans SWAG included an autograph signing featuring the other important characters (Wonder Girl, Jason Todd, Superboy, Krypto, Deathstroke and Bruce Wayne/Batman).
This would be an absolutely perfect companion piece to last year’s autograph poster …and an indication to subscribers that the DCU has a Long-term, well-thought-out plan for the Titans, that’s well worth the price of admission!
New episodes of Titans, season two, drops every Friday on DCU.
