Titans: Curran Walters BDay Wishes Include Red Hood Final Fitting Look
For fans of HBO Max's Titans, Saturday was a special day for two reasons. First and foremost, they got to send buckets of "Happy Birthdays" to Curran Walters (Jason Todd aka Red Hood) in honor of his 23rd birthday. One of the many who have been chiming in is Greg Hopwood from Team LJ Supersuits. Since you're reading this, then we don't need to elaborate further than that's the specialty costume design team that produced those righeously amazing new takes on Curran's Red Hood and Anna Diop's Starfire's (Koriand'r / Kory Anders) costumes. And it was in Hopwood's Instagram birthday wishes that the day became special for a second time. In the post below, Hopwood shared a screencap of a Zoom call he had with Walters that shows him in his final Red Hood fitting- with Hopwood expressing the feeling of "a proud dad sending his kid off to their first day of school."
Here's a look at Hopwood's post from earlier today, where he sends waves of birthday wishes Walters way on behalf of Team LJ Supersuits:
Along with Walters and Diop's costumed looks getting serious upgrades, the action shifting to Gotham, and the introduction of Dr. Jonathan Crane (and Scarecrow?) and Commissioner Barbara Gordon- along with Jason Todd's (Walters) transformation from Robin to Red Hood – there's also that matter of a certain "dead" Titan making a return. Executive producer Greg Walker wants to dig into the backstory on how Donna Troy (Conor Leslie) returns this season, and what that means in regards to an afterlife and spiritual connections.
"It's true, but there are ways we can kinda skirt some of the normal life and death rules for those of us that are kinda more human bound. We've got some exciting opportunities and stories ahead for Donna Troy and Rachel, and the whole underworld we've made. We'll go into what it's like as a transition stage," teased Walker. As for how Donna could potentially return, Walker offered a response that fans on social media have been hinting about for months. "DC Comics loves the Lazarus Pit," Walker teased. "I have no comment about that." As for the impact her electrocution will have on her life moving forward, Walker says that and aspect of her story that they will "absolutely explore.
Walker also wants fans of Starfire to know that they're be learning much more about the favorite this season. With Damaris Lewis's Blackfire being upped to a series regular, Walker says viewers will learn more about their home planet of Tamaran and their time there: "We're planning a big season for Kory this year. The arrival of her sister/nemesis Blackfire launches Kory down a path where she uncovers both secrets about her past and clues to her destiny… all of which will lead to her true calling as Starfire. Plus, we have a few other surprises in store for hardcore Starfire fans this season."
