TNT TO SHOOT PILOT FOR TITANS TV SHOW IN 2015

THE NEW TEEN TITANS CIRCA 1980'S

Bleeding Cool reports(read the article here) that Geoff Johns, DC Comics Chief Creative Officer, confirmed on his Twitter that TNT will shoot a pilot for the Titans TV show in 2015. The show will be an hour long drama that would feature Robin (Dick Grayson), Starfire, and Raven.

The premise would be that Robin will start his own group called the "Titans" feeling the need to get out of Batman's shadow. This same premise was used in the 1980's book "The New Teen Titans" and was very successful for DC Comics during that time period.

TNT joins the list of networks that are using comic book based properties as TV shows. The CW has Arrow and Flash. ABC has Marvel's Agents of SHIELD and FOX has Gotham. CBS will have a Supergirl TV show in 2015 as well.

I hope that since Titans is on cable that they will be able to go further with their storylines and content than other shows that are on network TV. I'm looking forward to seeing the results in 2015.

CM PUNK JOINS UFC

CM PUNK


CM Punk, former WWE Superstar, announced that he is joining the UFC on Saturday. According to Wrestlezone (read the article here).  Punk has trained in MMA with the Gracie family so he has some experience in MMA.
 
Punk says he plans to make his debut in 2015 either as a welterweight or middleweight. I'm sure Punk will have no shortage of challengers as he has great name identity from WWE and is a newcomer to the sport. Many fighters may target him because they feel that he is getting into the
UFC in an easy fashion and doesn't have to earn a spot.


Either way this is a smart move by the UFC and Dana White. Whether Punk wins or loses in UFC, fans of wrestling and MMA will tune in to see it.


I wish him well and hope that it all works out for him.
