Titans Tower is back open for business.
DC has released a new trailer for the second season of the DC Universe series Titans, based on the DC Comics superteam. The two-minute trailer features even more footage than the previous trailer that was released three weeks ago, while giving us our first look at new Season 2 villains Doctor Light and Shimmer.
The trailer opens with footage from the Season One episode "Asylum", where Richard "Dick" Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) burned his Robin uniform after giving up his superhero identity. We hear a voiceover from Donna Troy (Conor Leslie), who says, "You burned the suit, you're not Robin anymore, so what now?"
We cut to Hank Hall (Alan Ritchson) and Dawn Granger (Minka Kelly), who are having an intense conversation inside a log cabin somewhere. "Being Hawk and Dove was dangerous for both of us," Hank tells Dawn. "I stopped, but if you can't, we're done."
Next, we cut to another intense conversation, this time between Aqualad (Drew Van Acker) and Donna Troy as another woman looks on. "You're asking me to choose between your destiny and you," Donna tells him, hinting that the two may have had a relationship in this TV continuity.
Aqualad replies, "Maybe they're the same thing."
We then see Raven (Teagan Croft) talking on the phone to someone while emotionally upset and drained. "I'm so tired," she says to the person on the other end.
Dawn confronts Dick inside their new/old Titans Tower headquarters, giving him an ultimatum. "End your little experiment or I will burn this place down myself."
"There's ghosts in this place," Donna remarks to Dick in a separate scene. "Tell them what happened."
In the next scene, we see Jason Todd, the second Robin (Curran Walters), getting up in Dick's grill as Raven and Garfield Logan (Ryan Potter) watch in the background. "Look, I don't take orders from you anymore, man," Jason tells Dick.
"Get out of my way," Dick threatens in response.
"You're in my way," counters Jason.
We shift to stately Wayne Manor, where Dick asks his former mentor Bruce Wayne (Iain Glen), "Would you do it again? Devote all that time and trouble to someone who just wants to leave?"
"I would do everything exactly the same," Bruce responds in a voiceover.
In a separate scene, cut with Hawk and Dove fighting some criminals, Dick tells Raven, "I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do." Raven responds, "I don't think you have a choice."
Another scene, this time with Starfire (Anna Diop), who asks Dick, "You ready for this, Grayson?" Dick replies, "Yep."
We then see Dick training Gar how to swordfight, with Dick completely blindfolded.
Next, we see Donna using her magic lasso on the supervillain Shimmer, snagging her by the hands and yanking her forward so that Starfire can knock her out with a punch. "What is the deal with you and Shimmer, anyway?" Starfire asks in a voiceover.
Donna replies, "Well first, her name is Shimmer and that's just annoying."
In the next scene, Superboy (Joshua Orpin) grabs the gun of a criminal in an alley and bends it upward, then meets Krypto the Superdog after the two escape Cadmus Labs. "Okay, Krypto," he tells the Superdog while reading a nametag on a borrowed uniform, "I guess I am...Conner." He then grabs his familiar black t-shirt with the red Superman logo from a street vendor in Metropolis.
Rose Wilson, the daughter of Deathstroke, is brought to Titans Tower after losing her left eye. "Hey, what the hell is this place, anyway?" she asks Dick.
"This is a place where people like you can learn how to the be the best version of who you are," explains Dick as we see him sparring with Rose, now sporting a black eyepatch like her father, who severs Dick's wooden staff in two with her sword.
"I hope I haven't broken this place," remarks Rose.
Starfire is then confronted in the street by an unknown man who appears to be from her home planet of Tamaran. "Hello, Miss Koriand'r," says the man.
"Who else did they send?" asks Kory.
"Just me," replies the man. He then tazes Kory with a device and she slumps unconscious into his arms. "Sorry about that, your highness."
We cut to Doctor Light (Michael Mosley), who is wearing what appears to be a prototype armored costume and is unleashing his light-based powers on innocents. "I'm glad you could make it!" he shouts.
As the second Robin interrupts a TV news broadcast to say "The Titans are back, bitches!", we see that Slade Wilson (Esai Morales), a.k.a. Deathstroke, is watching the broadcast.
"Slade Wilson is why we shuttered this place..." Donna begins telling someone off-camera, hinting that Deathstroke may have killed Aqualad during the previous incarnation of the Titans. We see Deathstroke aiming a sniper rifle at someone as Donna continues, "...Sooner or later, he'll come knocking."
As one of Deathstroke's assassination targets drops to the floor, Hank remarks in a voiceover, "He's gonna kill how many more now?"
As Donna, Hank, Dawn and Dick stand beside one another and watch something off-camera, Dawn tells Dick, "Now's the time. Be Batman."

Titans returns to DC Universe for Season 2 on September 6, 2019.
