Titans Season 3 AMA: More DC Characters, Doom Patrol, DickKory & More
Only a day after Joshua Orpin (Conner) checked in via Instagram Stories to preview what's ahead for our heroes- and for Superboy, it wasn't looking good. Now, the fine folks behind the social media for HBO Max's Titans are treating viewers to a ton more intel and teasers for what's to come this August. Starting up an AMA on Twitter, the reps covered a wide range of topics- from when a teaser and trailer can be expected to the possibility of more DC characters showing up, and everything in-between. Here's a look at the questions that were asked, followed by the responses directly quoted.

For the third season, executive producer Greg Walker wants fans of Anna Diop's Starfire to know that they're be learning much more about the favorite this season. With Damaris Lewis' 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."
Walker also wants to dig into the backstory on how Leslie's Donna Troy returns from the land of the dearly departed 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 aspect of her story that they will "absolutely explore.
