Titans Season 3 Teaser: Welcome to Gotham! Hope You Survive Your Stay!

By now, it's no secret that the action shifts to Gotham for the third season of HBO Max's Titans– and from what we've seen so far, Batman's infamous stomping grounds is living up to its reputation. From the death of Jason Todd's (Curran Walters) robin and his rebirth as Red Hood to Jonathan Crane (Vincent Kartheiser) going "Hannibal" with Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites), who has personal and professional matters of his own to deal with now that Gotham Police Commissioner Barbara Gordon (Savannah Welch). And then there's the matter of what role Jay Lycurgo's Tim Drake (aka Robin?) will play in all of this. But don't think that only the direct Bat-family members will be the ones dealing with Gotham City- as you're about to see in the following teaser, Starfire (Anna Diop) isn't exactly enjoying her time in the city, either.

Now here's a look back at the official trailer for the third season of HBO Max's Titans, premiering its first three episodes on August 12th:

Executive producer Greg Walker shared some thoughts on two major additions to the cast via EW.:

On Why Vincent Kartheiser's Dr. Jonathan Crane aka Scarecrow Makes for the Perfect Season 3 Threat: "Think Hannibal Lecter. He's been given the opportunity to opine on ways to stop villains, and a villain breaks out in Gotham and it draws [Dick Grayson] to work with him," Walker explained. "So much of our show is about becoming a family and the fears that people have as they grow older and get older. Crane seems to be, in many ways, a perfect villain in that he exploits fear. The human mind and heart become the battlefield. This is someone who's working off your feelings, and your emotions, and that's where we want to live. This is a learned psychologist who understands the human mind but also has a deep, dark vendetta to destroy people in a way that you need to be able to manifest as an actor – to find the broken and the mania. And [Kartheiser] handles both very well."

On the Role Savannah Welch's Barbara Gordon Will Play in Nightwing's Life: "In our story with Dick returning to Gotham – and Gotham is a huge character this season – it's about sons and daughters, [and] stepping into the shadow of your parents," said Walker. "Barbara is going to be conflicted by Dick's arrival. Barbara's feeling is that the legacy of Bruce and Jim has been this idea that she thinks is antiquated and inefficient: the God syndrome, meaning that superheroes create the situation where they're the heroes. They drop in on a situation, solve it, and then they leave. And she feels that basically disempowers people from solving their own problems and that the people of Gotham need to figure out how to solve their own problems and not be passive victims waiting for a superhero to save the day."
