The fourth season of HBO Max’s “Titans” is underway, with the team taking on several baddies as the action shifts to Metropolis.
The series has already introduced Iain Glen as Bruce Wayne/Batman, and this season gives us Titus Welliver as Lex Luthor, so an appearance from the Man of Steel himself is not entirely out of the question.
Certainly, Joshua Orpin’s Conner Kent/Superboy has been a core member of the cast since the show’s second season – the clone-son of Superman and Lex Luthor. While he’s met Lex, Superman is off halfway across the universe.
In an interview with Screen Rant recently, showrunner Greg Walker has expressed a keen interest in introducing Superman on the show and says it ties in with the larger themes of the season:
“Well, we would love it, and I think that’s a story, that our show often that deals with [which is] fathers and sons. It feels like it would be a huge get to be able to do, and we could really do a lot with it if we got it.
For now, we’re letting the DC Universe settle the way that it’s settling. We have hints of Superman, and there’ll be more; this is not the only one. So stay tuned. But it’s something that we would love, and hopefully, one day, we’ll come to realize on Titans.”
The obvious question is, with the greater DCU being mapped out and redone, will “Titans” even survive beyond the current season? It’s not clear at this point. The current run began on November 3rd and wrapped its first half on December 1st. The second half is expected to air early next year.
