DC's Titans TV Show May Have Cast Its Wonder Girl

[Archiee]

heroes first announced as a member of the Titans team, the comics version of Donna Troy was a founding member of the Teen Titans. While Titans will obviously take liberties in adapting Teen Titans stories for TV, including Donna Troy alongside Dick Grayson and Co. could be a lot of fun.

In DC Comics, Wonder Girl was given an origin as a non-Amazon orphan who was rescued by Wonder Woman after an apartment fire. She was brought to Themyscira to be raised and eventually was given the powers of an Amazon woman. Wonder Girl went on to join the Teen Titans as Donna Troy. She formed a special friendship with Dick Grayson over the years. Now, given the many reboots and relaunches of DC Comics over the years, Donna's origin has been revised more than once. Titans could borrow from any number of comics stories as inspiration for a version of the character on the show.

Assuming Conor Leslie is coming on board to play Wonder Girl (whether as a regular, recurring, or one-off guest star), Wonder Woman almost certainly exists in the Titans universe as well. Perhaps Batman isn't the only big-name superhero with the potential to turn up on Titans! If Leslie will tackle the role, she'll join Brenton Thwaites as Dick Grayson, Anna Diop as Starfire, Teagan Croft as Raven, Lindsey Gort as Amy Rohrbach, Alan Ritchson and Minka Kelly as Hawk and Dove, April Bowlby as Elasti-Girl, Jake Michaels as Cliff Steel, Dwain Murphy as Negative Man, Ryan Potter as Beast Boy, and Bruno Bichir as Dr. Niles Caulder. If rumors are true, even Jason Todd could turn up, no doubt to complicate Dick Grayson's life.

Conor Leslie is probably best-known for her role as Trudy in five episodes of Amazon's The Man in the High Castle. She also appeared in all 10 episodes of Fox's event series Shots Fired as well as multiple episodes of Graves, The Blacklist, Other Space, Klondike, and Revenge. It would be interesting to see how her performance as Wonder Girl could compare to her previous roles.

We'll have to wait and see what happens next. Stay tuned to CinemaBlend for the latest in Titans news.
