The animated show Teen Titans was a classic that introduced a whole new generation to the eponymous group of superheroes from DC Comics. Created by Glen Murakami, the show aired from 2003 to 2009, spanning five seasons and multiple spinoffs and movies. The show has been regarded as a classic among other DC animated media such as Batman: The Animated Series.
The show was known for its treatment of Robin as a solo hero rather than a sidekick to Batman, its anime-inspired tone, and its mature treatment of the characters. One of the major changes that Murakami made with the show was to not give any secret identities to the superheroes as he wanted children to identify with their characteristics rather than their identities.

The live-action Titans series had tremendous potential, from its source material to the pedigrees of the talent bringing the heroes to television. Titans failed to work from the first episode to the last. As a television series, it needed a bigger budget for better effects, and the caliber of actors needed to be stronger to pull off these larger-than-life personalities.
Most of the storylines were drawn from Marv Wolfman and George Pérez’s seminal run from the early 1980s or the early issues from Geoff Johns and Mike McKone’s run in the 2000s. Both required a consistent tonality along with a budget to make the scope of the stories work.
In the fourth and final series, out now on disc from Warner Home Entertainment, the series tackled both Lex Luthor and Brother Blood. Either one could easily have been the Big Bad for these last dozen episodes, but they split the focus and,...

Chémi Pérez and Joel Cazorla of Spain’s Cabo Sur Films is teaming with Lucía Flórez and her Peru-based production company, El Taller.pe to produce the feature-length documentary “Ever and the Sharks” (“El niño y el tiburón”).
Boasting prior social impact and environmental work, they’re gearing up to present the project at Locarno’s upcoming Match Me! networking forum, unspooling Aug. 4-6.
The team is working with leading marine biologist Alejandra Mendoza Pfenning and her Ngo, EcOceana, who have just received a generous donation allowing them to geotag whale sharks off the Peruvian coast for the first time. Currently prioritizing private fundraising, the filmmakers hope to capture this milestone for the documentary during this year’s “El Niño” phenomenon, set to bring an influx of whale sharks to the region.
Following their short film “Shirampari: Legacies of the River,” Flórez and Pérez are reuniting to co-pen the current project,...
