Boyhood star Savannah Welch (Six) landed the role of Barbara Gordon in the upcoming third season of HBO Max’s Titans.
In the comics, Barbara Gordon’s the daughter of Commissioner Gordon, and takes on the crime-fighting mantle of Batgirl. Gordon fights crime with Batman until she’s shot and paralyzed by the Joker.
Wheelchair-bound, Gordon continues to fight crime, eventually taking the position her father once had, Gotham City Police Commissioner.
The series will catch up with Gordon early in her crime-fighting days. She will currently be at odds with Bruce Wayne. When Dick Grayson (Brandon Thwaites) returns to Gotham, the two reignite their previous romance and begin to fight crime together.
Welch recently shared a behind-the-scenes video of her stunt training for Titans on Twitter. Check it out below:
The video originally posted to Welch’s personal page, but recently hit the internet on a Twitter fan page. The video shows Savannah working on a stunt over the Canadian Thanksgiving holiday.
Season 3 sees Jason Todd (Curran Walters) leave the role of Robin to eventually become the Red Hood. There’s also a major storyline for Anna Diop’s Kory/Starfire, after her sister Blackfire (Demaris Lewis).
According to series executive producer Gary Walker, season three will be big for Starfire in the wake of her sister’s arrival:
“We’re planning a big season for Kory this year. The arrival of her sister/nemesis Blackfire launches Kory down a path where she uncovers both secrets about her past and clues to her destiny… all of which will lead to her true calling as Starfire.
Plus, we have a few other surprises in store for hardcore Starfire fans this season.”
Production on season 3 began last October and will conclude sometime mid-summer.
