‘Titans’ TV show hints at a major villain for its first season
By Shawn Lealos
One of the big selling points of the upcoming DC Comics streaming service is the live-action TV show Titans, which focuses on the beloved fan-favorite comic heroes, the Teen Titans.
There has been a lot of news hitting lately surrounding photograph leaks and casting information, and some new leaks hint at who one of the main villains in the first season will end up being.
According to The Titans Podcast, it looks like the demon Tritan could end up as one of the – if not the main villain for the Teen Titans in the first season of the series. Here is the casting call for the character.
"“[EVAN LOGUE]: Male, Late 30s-40s, Caucasian. Charismatic. A cult leader attempting to reunite his family. Central role for series finale. RECURRING GUEST STAR. Please submit star/cameo names. Casting early for wardrobe but the role works Ep. 111 (04/09-04/19) and Ep. 112 (04/19 – 05/01)”"

The role will last two episodes (at least), and there has already been a casting call for Raven’s mother Arella for the Titans series. Having Tritan appear would make sense based on that fact alone – especially if he is coming for Raven.
However, while that makes sense, the description of “Evan Logue” sounds more like it could be Brother Blood. This is something that could be cool for the TV show, although he recently also appeared in the Teen Titans: The Judas Contract animated movie. With the casting call referring to the character as a cult leader, Brother Blood is the most obvious choice, although he has no family to reunite based on past appearances.
