We know that the mission is to create a widely connected DC film universe. Batman V Superman, Suicide Squad, and so many others are already confirmed. Amongst them we have the Cyborg movie slated alongside Green Lantern Corps in 2020.

His film will release after Justice League Part II and there is no word (yet) of a follow-up for the iconic team after that thus leaving room for expansion. For that reason I can see how the Cyborg film can actually be a bridge to the Titans and tell a hero story of a younger generation for a younger generation.

1-Who we have- So we know Cyborg is in this world. He will be the young athlete Victor Stone and the youngest member of the Justice League. We’ve seen in a couple of stories where fun is poked at him for his age and how he is the newest hero amongst these other champions. If reports are true, Batman v Superman is probably going to play as Cyborg’s origin truly making him the most inexperienced of the seven members.

Rumors say we will see an Oracle version of Barbara Gordon and Jason Todd has been killed, therefore somewhere in this universe there must exist Dick Grayson- Nightwing.

We don’t know much about the other characters but we do know that Aquaman will be getting his own film in the coming years which makes it very possible for us to see Kaldur’ahm and/or Garth (Aqualad). Therefore, there are pieces set in this world for a Titans direction to be taken.

2-The Golden Members- The Teen Titans is a team that has been around for decades, but they really resinated with everyone who grew up in the 2000’s thanks to the success of the animated series. Cyborg, Nightwing, and (maybe) Aqualad present in the film universe is great but how much greater would it be for Beast Boy, Raven, and Starfire to join in?! These five characters share such a great chemistry. Comedy between Beast boy and Cyborg, romance between Koriand’r and Dick, and of course, the troubled life of Raven. With what little we have seen of the DC film universe we know that they’re not afraid to take risks and they want to tell ranged and diverse stories.

3- What is the story?- I by no means want Cyborg to be robbed of his solo film. That being said, the history of this character is with the Titans. These movies aren’t just opening the scope of possibility- they’re trying to give us faithful material as well. Why should his approach be any different?

When the time comes for Cyborg in his own movie they’ll want to dig into his lore. If his origin is going to happen in Batman v Superman, it ultimately means there is nothing but space to explore the character. So he joined the league first? So what! The new animated film Justice League vs Titans acknowledges that and even ties it into his development. I can see the same thing happening in the live-action version.

I think the movie can center on him and show his transition (or expansion) from the League to the Titans. I don’t think it’s robbing him of his leading role but rather highlighting how he is the only character that has bridged between the two rosters.

4- TNT though..- There was supposed to be a Titans series set to premiere on TNT. After months of hearing nothing the show was ultimately not picked up. I was fine with that. It meant that the Titans property was back up for grabs. They aren’t going to let this fall to the back… The Teen Titans has proven to be a successful property and they are going to do something with it. I think the solo Cyborg film could become the takeoff platform for a legendary team the way a certain movie coming out March 25th was initially just supposed to be a Man of Steel sequel…Just saying…
