The fourth season of Titans will be presented tomorrow at Comic-Con in New York, and HBO Max has unveiled the first clip.
Impossible to deduce the context, but this scene portrays Nightwing ( Brenton Thwaites ) fighting a group of ninjas to protect Tim Drake ( Jay Lycurgo ). They are located inside a skyscraper, on a floor under renovation.
The new episodes will see our heroes return to San Francisco after a stop in Metropolis: perhaps this is where Lex Luthor , played by Titus Welliver , will appear . However, the Titans will end up “in the crosshairs of a supernatural sect with powers unlike anything they have faced before.” This is obviously the Church of Blood , headed by Brother Blood ( Joseph Morgan ) and Mother Mayhem ( Franka Potente ). Among the antagonists will also figure Jinx ( Lisa Ambalavanar ).
The American debut of the fourth season is expected in November on HBO Max , while in Italy we can imagine that it will arrive on Netflix , but only later. Meanwhile, you will find the clip below.
