DC has released the first trailer for its upcoming live-action TV show Titans and it definitely shows a different side of Robin and the superhero team, Teen Titans. The trailer introduces us to Raven, a haunted girl who reaches out to detective Dick Grayson for help. Grayson is a former circus performer who lost both his parents when he was a kid and now moonlights as Robin, Batman’s famed sidekick. We also meet Beast Boy and Starfire.

You see the dark side of these superheroes: Robin snaps the necks of criminals and says, “F–k Batman.” The series will be the first of a group that will launch on DC forthcoming streaming service, DC Universe, reports the Verge. 

You can watch the full trailer below:
