In this episode of Rewind, Tony revisits Titans, the live‑action reimagining of DC’s Teen Titans created by Akiva Goldsman, Geoff Johns, and Greg Berlanti. Originally developed for TNT before the network walked away from the project in 2016, the series was reborn as the first original scripted show for DC Universe, premiering in 2018 and later moving to HBO Max for its final seasons.

Titans wasn’t afraid to break canon, bend mythology, or challenge fan expectations. It took big swings—sometimes polarizing, often ambitious—and carved out a space for adult‑oriented superhero storytelling that influenced later DC projects. Its willingness to explore trauma, identity, and the cost of heroism set it apart from the CW’s lighter fare and helped define the tone of DC’s streaming era.

This month on Trek Tuesday, Tony chats with celebrated Star Trek artist Kavita Maharaj, whose work has become instantly recognizable across the fandom for its emotional precision, striking detail, and uncanny ability to capture the essence of beloved Trek characters.

For many fans, Kavita’s portraits feel like stepping into a moment of truth — a look, a gesture, a spark of humanity that defines who these characters are. And it all began with one figure who changed her life as an artist:

🖖 Mr. Spock.

What started as a single portrait of Spock grew into a body of work that now spans the franchise — from classic Trek icons to modern-era heroes — each piece infused with her deep respect for the characters and the actors who bring them to life.
