Titans Season 3 Trailer Explores Gotham's Need For A "Better Batman"

HBO Max has released the first official trailer and key art for Season 3 of Titans, the live-action take on the Teen Titans comic book series. The third season of the show, which premieres August 12 on HBO Max, is largely set in Gotham City.

Even more excitingly, this new clip pretty much confirms something we suspected since a shorter teaser was released in June--that The Joker would feature heavily in this next batch of episodes. An official release accompanying the new trailer still won't come right out and see it, instead cryptically promising that Season 3 will continue to "follow young heroes from across the DC Universe as they come of age and find where they belong. In season three, circumstances draw our heroes to Gotham City, where they will reunite with old friends and face new threats." Check out the trailer below and decide for yourself.

It's also been previously implied that Jason Todd will take on the Red Hood persona, which in the comics is the mantle he takes on following his resurrection--which also might have to mean that something dire is ahead for the character beforehand. However, it also seems like--so far--Titans isn't sticking to that chain of events, so we'll all just have to wait and see. During last year's DC FanDome, it was also revealed that Barbara Gordon, now Commissioner of the Gotham Police Department, will be utilizing Scarecrow as a consultant and profiler. All in all, it should be a wild season.

The series stars Brenton Thwaites, Anna Diop, Teagan Croft, Ryan Potter, Conor Leslie, Curran Walters and Joshua Orpin with Alan Ritchson, Minka Kelly, Damaris Lewis, Savannah Welch, and Vincent Kartheiser. Jay Lycurgo will recur this season.
