Well, this was unexpected!
Following our first official look at Jonathan Crane (Vincent Kartheiser) and Barbara Gordon (Savannah Welch) earlier today, HBO Max has released the first teaser trailer for Titans season 3, and it certainly seems to hint that the now infamous "A Death in the Family" storyline will be adapted for the show.
The promo begins with Jason Todd (Curran Walters) making his way through what appears to be an abandoned amusement park before discovering a corpse with a twisted grin on its face. We then hear an unmistakable cackle, followed by a quick shot of someone beating Todd(?) with a crowbar.
If you've read the comic, you'll know that The Joker despatches the unfortunate Boy Wonder in this exact manner. This could very easily turn out to be misdirection, of course, but based on this footage, Scarecrow won't be the only classic Batman villain making his debut this season!
Kartheiser and Welch join returning cast members Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson, Anna Diop as Kory Anders, Teagan Croft as Rachel Roth, Ryan Potter as Garfield Logan, Curran Walters as Jason Todd, Conor Leslie as Donna Troy, Minka Kelly as Dawn Granger, Alan Ritchson as Hank Hall, Joshua Orpin as Superboy, Chelsea Zhang as Rose Wilson, Chella Man as Jericho, Drew Van Acker as Aqualad, Esai Morales as Deathstroke, Jay Lycurgo as Tim Drake and Iain Glen as Bruce Wayne.
Titans season 3 will air on the HBO Max streaming service. Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, and Greg Berlanti will once again serve as executive producers along with Greg Walker and Sarah Schechter
