Is this Titans show going to be part of the CW universe? It looks cool, I don't know anything about it.
No it's going to be exclusive to the new DC Entertainment streaming channel you will have to pay to subscribe to if you want to see it. The new Harley Quinn animated series will be exclusive to that channel as well.
TNT had optioned a Titans show but had opted not to move forward with a pilot earlier this year, so DC took the show back to help launch their channel.

I can understand going for this look. It's what most younger viewers are use to now. We have to remember that Dick Grayson has been wearing something similar for close to 30 years now in the various animated shows.
Yes, the classic Robin costume is pretty much retired from any actual storylines, and really only appears on retro-merchandise these days. As much as I love it, it was honestly dated by the 70s with fans writing in for DC to update it. It took them nearly 20 more years before Tim got the excellent update from Neal Adams, and of course that was adapted into both the animated series, and in Batman Forever, in modified form. With the New 52, DC took the opportunity to lay the classic costume to rest in their ever-changing continuity.
Although some artists really knew how to make it look good, even on the 18 to 19 year old Dick Grayson! Namely Marshall Rogers, Dick Giordano, Jim Aparo, Don Newton, and of course George Perez!
Honestly, that looks amazing. I would argue that the O'Donnell mask does hide his identity better, but this is very classic styled and the suit looks great so far.
The original Robin costume looks okay in some of those pictures posted, but most are in poses hiding the green underwear and the legs have shading as such that it almost looks like he's wearing pants or something. But one only need to look at Burt Ward to see that the costume does not translate well to real life.
But this Titans costume looks pretty spiffy. I'd be curious to see how the legs/bottom half look, as that's really where the costume tends to fall apart (no pun intended) but judging by the top half I think it'll be pretty good.
i think they actually showed Jason Todd wearing something similar, in one of the annuals. it was a winter storyline with Batgirl as I recall and he was in pants. been a very long time since I actively collected comics. I am looking forward to the show but I will not pay for it. maybe if it goes on Netflix or Amazon Prime
