That’s My Entertainment talks with the cast of Justice League vs. Teen Titans

Published

on

The DC Animated Universe continues to expand with the long-awaited Justice League vs. Teen Titans movie which will be available on DVD and streaming next month.  In a trend spurred on by Marvel, the comic book competition, fans have been yearning to see their favorite comic book heroes go head-to-head both in live action and on the small screen. While Justice League vs. Teen Titans does cash in on that phenomenon it plays out much better than expected.

Much of this may have to do with the fact that this is not a simple one-off movie but rather a single chapter in a larger franchise. Ever since DC launched its New 52 a few years ago and rebooted the universe the animation department followed suite and created a brand new timeline for its animated characters, one which has been active since Justice League: War back in 2014.

The Justice League vs. Teen Titans movie finds Batman’s son Damien (last seen in Son of Batman) as the new Robin in the Teen Titans. He arrives just in time to learn that one of his companions is the descendant of the devil-like Trigon who is intent on enslaving the world through an ooze that gives him mind control powers. He quickly uses the ooze on The Justice League and chaos ensues.

“This is Batman as he works in relationship to the Justice League which is a slightly different type of Batman because he works with Damien and Nightwing and the whole Bat family. The Justice League is functioning pretty well at this point but Damien really isn’t fitting in so he sends him off to Teen Titans,” explains the movie’s Batman, Jason O’Mara.

“I almost think there are three personas now. There’s Bruce Wayne, Batman and Batman around Damien as a father,” he notes. “I take it scene-by-scene and let the scene dictate where he’s going to be and let the dialogue do the talking and listen to the story that the writer is trying to set out for each scene.”

Relationships continue to be a driving force throughout each film. “I think with Justice League stuff I think a big part of it is the relationship between Superman and Batman. There are some big egos at play there,” says Jerry O’Connell, the film’s Superman. “Playing Superman, a big part of that role his relationship with Batman and as far as I’m concerned that is one of the most important aspects.”

 in Hall H at San Diego Comic-Con, Rick Riordan and Disney+ revealed that Daniel Diemer (“Under the Bridge”) will star as fan-favorite cyclops “Tyson” in the epic adventure series “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.” Diemer joins Walker Scobell (Percy Jackson), Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth Chase) and Aryan Simhadri (Grover Underwood) as a series regular. The Disney+ Original series from Disney Branded Television and 20th Television will start filming its second season next week in Vancouver.

Season two of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” is based on the second installment of Disney Hyperion’s best-selling book series titled “The Sea of Monsters” by award-winning author Rick Riordan. In the new season, Percy Jackson returns to Camp Half-Blood one year later to find his world turned upside down. His friendship with Annabeth is changing, he learns he has a cyclops for a brother, Grover has gone missing, and camp is under siege from the forces of Kronos. Percy’s journey to set things right will take him off the map and into the deadly Sea of Monsters, where a secret fate awaits the son of Poseidon.

Diemer stars as Tyson – a young Cyclops who grew up all alone on the streets, and finds it difficult to survive in the human world.  Shy and awkward, with a heart almost as big as he is, Tyson soon discovers that Poseidon is his father, which means Percy Jackson is his half-brother… and that Tyson may have finally found a home. 

Diemer recently starred in the Hulu limited series “Under the Bridge” based off the critically acclaimed book of the same name and a tragic true story of a missing teen girl in Vancouver in 1997. He will next star in the indie “Thug” opposite Liam Neeson and Ron Perlman for director Hans Petter Moland. Daniel was recently seen as the lead in the indie “Supercell” opposite Alec Baldwin and Skeet Ulrich and the lead in the film “Little Brother” opposite Phil Ettinger and JK Simmons.

He is a graduate of Victoria Academy of Dramatic Arts in Vancouver.
