Actor Brenton Thwaites had been cast as Dick Grayson in the upcoming Titans TV series.
It’s not immediately clear if he’s playing a post-Batman Robin or Nightwing incarnation of the character, the press release and statements made about the casting have very carefully avoided saying which one.
The characters of Hawk, Dove and Detective Amy Rohrbach will also be joining the series in recurring roles with potential series regular options.
Hawk and Dove are a pair of crime-fighting vigilantes who have gone through several different incarnations over the years in the comics. Alan Ritchson (Smallville) and Rebecca Rittenhouse (The Mindy Project) are both reportedly under consideration for those parts.
The series will air in 2018 and will be available exclusively through the upcoming DC-branded direct-to-consumer digital service operated by Warner Bros. Digital Networks Group. The executive producers for “Titans” are Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter.
