“Titans” has found its Barbara Gordon in Savannah Welch.
In the now-HBO Max series, Gordon is the Gotham City police commissioner and long past her days as Batgirl. Although she has a past relationship with Dick Grayson (Brendan Thwaites), she is wary of the Titans now being in Gotham. Alicia Silverstone played a loosely based version of the character in Joel Schumacher’s “Batman & Robin.”
Curran Walters, who plays Jason Todd (aka the second Robin after Dick Grayson) will don the new Red Hood identity in the coming season, which will primarily be set in Gotham City. Additionally, “Titans” is adding Dr. Jonathan Crane, known best by his villainous alter ego, Scarecrow, who induces his enemies with a fear-based toxin. In “Titans,” he is now an inmate in Arkham Asylum and offers his services as a profiler and consultant for the Gotham City Police Department. Cillian Murphy played the character in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy.
