"Titans Forever" is a satisfying conclusion to the Brother Blood arc and to Titans as a show - My Ultimate Review
Written by Richard Hatem and directed by Nick Copus. The premise of "Titans Forever": With Brother Blood at full power and Conner left in critical condition, the Titans join forces to try and defeat Sebastian once and for all.
So we arrived at the finish line, a season which has been great at times and average at times. It's actually the same director and writer for this episode as the season premiere, quite fitting really. The writing was actually quite good, dialogue felt right for the characters and no real flaws in my opinion. I think the writing has mostly been solid in this final season, to be honest quite great at times. The direction was strong, Nick Copus is capable behind the camera and interprets the script well and gives the show that little extra which it needs and deserves. The actors was given great direction from him, which made it possible for the actors to shine even more. There are a couple of great performances in this episode, but most importantly, plenty of great character moments, also a finale worth investing your time into.
Titans have always had great action sequences and the stunt coordinators doesn't let down, nor does the script, every action sequence is there for a reason and each ended up being satisfying. The musical score is great, so is the sound design. The music in Trigon's scenes are great, like so many other scenes. The music have never been bad, here it's brilliant and fits perfectly with what's happening. The cinematography is incredible and there are truly many fine shots in the film, feels like the director and cinematographer worked together nicely in this episode. The costume department needs a lot of praise if I haven't said it before, both the superheroes and villain. The huge amount of details placed in each suit, each fiber and armor. Tim Drake's Robin suit has to be one of the show's best suits. What I have written before is how easy it is for me to smile when these heroes are on screen; Nightwing, Beast Boy, Starfire, Raven and now Robin (Tim Drake). The scene with Starfire and Brother Blood inside Icarus Lab were one of the season's best, their performances in this episode were truly one of the highlights. The final battle inside Icarus Lab and the Icarus Gate was one of the finest action sequences in the show's history, it has the Titans teaming up like the team we have grown to love. The music in that sequence was top notch, so fitting!
Let's talk about some character arcs: Superboy's character arc this season and throughout the show, but especially this final season, have been great. The writers and Joshua Orpin have made Conner Kent/Superboy into such a real character with flaws and just characteristics which makes him into one of the most human characters in the show. It's hard to find yourself, the people (parents) you have to live up to, these are two of the main things Superboy is going through during his character arc across his introduction to the season finale. It's been a great arc along with a great performance by Orpin. Every main character have had great character arcs, the writing haven't been on the same level of quality every season though, but I do think there have been a lot of good character arcs. Dick Grayson's have been one of my favorites, this season marks the first time he's the Grayson we love, the leader we love. The writers really went deep into the psychology and mental health of Grayson, how he really became a soldier at an early age when he became Robin. These writers have always wanted to create a realistic take on the characters and world, that they did, maybe a bit too much with Grayson but I've enjoyed his arc since season 1 episode 1. If you remember in season 1 and when the first trailer dropped, Mame-Anna Diop's performance as Kory Anders / Starfire was looked upon badly but in my opinion she ended up becoming among the better parts of the show during the second season and have grown to be better, Diop is Starfire, she deserves a lot of praise and honestly like every single actor of the main cast, needs to return. These actors have embodied the roles of our beloved superheros, the iconic Titans. Brenton Thwaites did a phenomenal job at creating a live action version of Dick Grayson / Nightwing, his performance is great in this episode too, I'm a big fan of his performance and honestly he's my Dick Grayson, a character I love. The cast have been full of great characters and performances, but I won't go into too much detail on that, I just want to say how the core cast was great in this finale. The antagonist too, Joseph Morgan was terrific as Sebastian Sanger / Brother Blood, his performance in this episode was one of the better ones for sure. Brother Blood have been a terrific and sympathetic antagonist, the thing I love about him is how the writers and directors made him relatable and a good person at first, it shows how manipulation and hard upbringing can change someone. I found his transformation throughout this season to be well written, he was at the end of the day, a great villain. Deathstroke is still on number one though, but Brother Blood might be on the second place.
Episode 4.12 is the series finale of Titans, a show I've followed since it first premiered back in 2018. Having grown up with the animated Teen Titans, these characters were known to me and my knowledge of them have only grown at an older age because of the comics. But what I loved back in 2018 was how this was a show for adults, it was darker and different, not how anyone excepted a Titans show would be like. It wasn't liked by everyone, but I loved it, still do. It's a show with flaws though and this finale doesn't feel like a series finale, but a season finale. It's a satisfying conclusion but the stories left to tell will remain there until the show gets renewed but under the new leadership at DC, that seems unlikely, so here we are. Titans have ended its four season run, it was in my opinion a great ending. How this episode plays out, it's not how I expected it would, but that's why I like it as much as I did. Unpredictability is great! Mother Blood, Brother Blood and the cult have been a great antagonist for the Titans this season, the writers made the show about the Titans and especially Raven and Starfire again. Season 3 was more a Batman and Nightwing season than a Titans season, I liked it of course because of how much I love the characters and Batman's mythology. But this was the best story to conclude the series, going back to the beginning, Trigon and his children (Raven and Brother Blood). Honestly, I wanted the show to continue, I wanted it to thrive and tell more stories and bring more Titans into the fold. But that's now what we will be getting, so I'm quite sad, the show was far from perfect but I loved it non the less. It might be one of my favorite superhero shows, but that's solely my opinion.
