THIS JUST IN, ROBIN HAS BEEN SPOTTED,

Breaking News from Gotham City! Warner Brothers has released the first images of Robin. Brenton Thwaites has been cast as the leader of the TITANS, a live action series from DC' Entertainment's soon to launch streaming service. 

I have to be honest, I had some doubts and heavy eye rolls when Brenton was cast as my favorite sidekick some months ago. The actor cast as Gotham City's perpetual second fiddle needed to be ideal,as far as I'm concerned, and Thwaites' turn in Pirates OF THE CARIBBEAN did not extacly blow me back up the Bat poles. This new pic does give me a little hope even though it looks like a lot of ROBINS that I took pictures of at  SDCC this Summer. And that's the "R"we are going with? Oh well, maybe I'm old, and I am, but the show will Kosta likely be darned good. Stay tuned as more details emerge.

• TITANS is set to debut in 2018 on the DC-branded direct-to-consumer digital service, operated by Warner Bros. Digital Networks.
