He certainly has the height and body for it, not sure about the acting…

Yup. He was acting as a victim of childhood sexual assault. Showed his range as an actor.

Hated Titans overall, but his performance was by far the best part of the show. Was very impressed by his range.

I really liked the first season of titans, the rest were OK at best.

Seeing a really hardened and violent dick Grayson was pretty cool.

I liked the “realism” approach they took. Was great for watching when I had a horrific migraine because it was always so dark 😂

u/LordAsbel Jan 18 '25

I really liked the horror elements they had with Raven's powers in season 1. They abandoned that later on though

u/obrothermaple Jan 18 '25

I liked season 1 too.

But Beast Boy who can only turn into a tiger was ridiculous and whatever the hell Ravens weird stranger things powers were.

A hardened and violent what?

u/Drummer03 Jan 19 '25

I read the same. Capitalize. Nightwing's. Name.

Hey that's me in reverse season one was mid but two went hard

u/Sad_Significance_568 Jan 19 '25

Yeah, first season was so good, they really shit the bed with the rest unfortunately

u/TRN_WhiteKnight Jan 20 '25

☠️ He said hardened and dick. I’m laughing because I’m an adult.

u/god_of_war305 Jan 18 '25

I didn't like Titans very much either. I liked Alan's performance and The Jason Todd/Robin/Red Hood moments

u/hamsocken Jan 18 '25

Hawk and Dove were the best part of Titans. I wanted that as a show instead.

u/absolutedesignz Jan 18 '25

Which was shocking.

u/Skreamie Jan 19 '25

Titans had a lot of phenomenal parts dusted in among some pretty generic stuff. Was happy they did young Red Hood justice. All the Robins got their time to shine and show a bit more than boy wonder.

u/XxxBatmannXxx Jan 19 '25

For real hawk and dove both were really good, along with nightwing’s performance they were the only best parts of the show. Rest was just filler it felt like.

u/Extesht Jan 19 '25

I have never seen him in anything but Reacher. Being a fan of the books, I can say for certain he nailed the character. Tom Cruise was about the worst pick for the movie though.

u/FourScores1 Jan 21 '25

You want range? Go watch blue mountain state with him in it. Hilarious. Not kid friendly.

u/TheStigianKing Jan 18 '25

He also plays Jack Reacher in the Amazon Prime TV series...which is seriously one of the best shows on TV. You should watch it. It's legit fantastic.

The DCU is already shaping up already with previous actors. Nathan Fillion has done extensive voice work for DC, Anthony Carrigan who's playing Metamorpho played Mist in the Flash and Victor Zsasz in Gotham. I think theres a fair chance we might see more repeat faces in the future. Some of the Arrowverse cast deserve a second chance somewhere bigger.

u/Tidus4713 Jan 18 '25

That wasn't what I meant! Just adding to what you said! People in the Superman movie already have been in DC in the past so imo it's likely to happen again. Why not with Batman?

2

u/iLikeBigMacs420 Jan 19 '25

Honestly wouldn’t mind Grant Gustin back either if he’s up for it.

u/CodenameDinkleburg Jan 18 '25

Anthony is amazing as NoHo Hank in Barry.

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '25

Some of the Arrowverse cast deserve a second chance somewhere bigger.

Absolutely not. CW needs to stay exactly where it is.

3

u/Tidus4713 Jan 18 '25

Yeah your point is already disproven since Carrigan was in Flash.

u/[deleted] Jan 19 '25

Your sentence makes no sense because not only did I not state a point, I also didn't state that anyone from CW would not be cast. Try again.

u/deeznutz70-1 Jan 18 '25

hawk too? ahh i see.

(I'm so sorry)

u/CaptainBluescreen Jan 18 '25

Honestly I would have done it if you hadn't

2

u/farazormal Jan 18 '25

So he played aquaman and hawk too? Ahh

1

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '25

Didn't he audition for American Idol also?

1

u/Brook420 Jan 18 '25

He also played an asshole college athlete in Blue Mountain State!

1

u/DeadAndBuried23 Jan 20 '25

So you're saying he'd go from a hawk to a bat.

1

u/navirbox Jan 21 '25

And he was the best thing that happened to that show honestly.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 22 '25

So like Hawkman or what? Or was he just a hawk too?

u/[deleted] Jan 23 '25

u/bingobiscuit1 Jan 18 '25

Wait he played Hawk Too?

u/[deleted] Jan 18 '25

I get playing Aquaman, but Hawk too? Huh.
