DC Movies - To Infinity and Beyond

Glad Viola Davis is staying on.

I wonder if they'll recast Deadshot, or just use a different character in the lineup.

We Got This Covered and a bunch of other "clickbait" sites don't constitute legitimate sources.

So I wouldn't be celebrating just yet if I were a fan of the Viola Davis version of Waller.

Dove maimed people. Dove. A character who shouldn't even be punching people with a closed fist is just straight up maiming people. The literal personification of peace. Even if they made her powerless (because god forbid the show not be "realistic"), they could easily have made her skilled in the various fighting skills that are more about disarming and throwing people around. Instead she maims people, because the edgy 13 year old demographic likes blood. to add to that, Starfire burns people alive (even though starfire can't actually produce fire). Scott Lobdell's sex goldfish Starfire (who is pretty much universally hated) was more like Starfire then the murderous streetwalker on Titans. Hell, Robin just acts like frank Castle if he was an angsty idiot. This all happens in the show. The trailers were extremely accurate to the final product.

I'm confused, I thought you didn't watch it?

Watching the trailers showed that, but since then I have actually watched the first two episodes fully, and got partially through the third. I can confirm, after suffering through the two episodes (with Dove only being in episode 2) that she is as bad as I said. Calling the pair hawk & Dove is so pointless that they don't even try to justify the names. It makes no sense for Dove to be called Dove. The only difference between them is that Hawk is more of an ass when he's out of costume. But, in costume? They are exactly the same type of violent vigilante. Even removing the originsl comics from the equation, the Hawk & Dove gimmick makes no sense in this show with these characters. Dove is just Hawk with lady parts and a less obnoxious personality at home. Its like they just chose random birds to name themselves after. They might as well be called Seagull & Puffin.

The term hawk & dove is (at least) 200 years old from what I can tell doing a internet search. Even if you came into Titans with no knowledge of the comics, you'd be confused as to why the duo uses the names they have. So, yeah, having watched the show I've completely vindicated what I said about the characters.

From the reviews and comments and stuff I saw I was under the impression, that that was kind of the whole point of their arc, that they had been vigilantes so long that they had changed and gone against what they originally were when they first started. I got the impression that they were kind of a cautionary example for what Robin might become if he continued down the darker path he was on.
