Once we really wanted to come into the Titans as the books did, with Rachel, with Raven, starting to talk about her story as a young girl struggling with her internal darkness, which is a literal one; mirroring Dick Grayson’s story struggling with an internal darkness, which is a psychological one, an emotional one, the whole show kinda fell into place around that.
I never feel like it’s a hard thing to narrow in on, for me.
We knew Dick Grayson was going to be our center.
We took the basic concept of the Titans in the books, they’re all these characters from literally different worlds that come together and make a surrogate family, and taking that as our underpinning, as our backbone, our spine, everything for us fell into place.
