SDCC 2018 – Lex Luthor and Superboy coming to Titans ‘eventually’

With everyone at SDCC – and everywhere else – still talking about that Titans trailer (here) we’re getting more news still coming in.

Namely that Lex Luthor and Superboy are coming. Probably in season 2.

Now, we’re also hearing that the shows are not all related – we know Titans and Doom Patrol will be but as for Stargirl, Swampthing and Metropolis? Who knows.

Except, if Lex is coming to Titans, wouldn’t be a good idea to tie Lex into both shows. The same Lex, obviously. Also…  there’s rumours that because James Wan is making Swamp Thing then it may be part fo the DC Cinematic Universe. But that’s another post.

Anyway, so, Superboy and Lex. What’s the deal?

“I pitched [Dan DiDio] the Superboy/Lex Luthor thing – which we’ll get to [on Titans] eventually,” said DC creative boss Geoff Johns last night.

Johns’ comic story saw Superboy AKA Conner Kent AKA Kon-El, is a clone of the combined DNA of Superman and a human… guess who the human is? Yup, Lex.

This led to Superboy considering turning to the darkside but thankfully he saw reason.

Could the character David set to appear in Titans Season 2 be Superboy? Decide for yourself:

David is a 20s-something Caucasian male with dark hair who would guest star in the 13th episode, which is the season 1 finale. “David” is described as a powerful individual who is merciless, so much so that he has recently unleashed chaos to the people who have been keeping “David” as a prisoner in a mysterious lab. When we find “David”, he will have recently have escaped this lab. Whoever we see in the role would have a series regular option for consecutive seasons of Titans.
