The young superheroes are going through changes, and EW caught up with Greg Walker to discuss them.
WARNING: This article contains spoilers about the first six episodes ofTitansseason 4.
SeveralTitanscharacters are looking a little different than we’re used to.

We’ll start with Raven (Teagan Croft).
Does this mean she’s turning into White Raven, the incarnation made iconic by the classicTeen Titansanimated series?
“It wasn’t intentional.

I mean, this is a season where we explore magic and the world of the supernatural.
This is where she’s kind of reawakening in that area too.”
Raven also has an opposite number this season: Sebastian Sanger (Joseph Morgan).

“They’re siblings, first and foremost.
“Rachel went to a family who would protect her and a colleague in Dick Grayson.
He believes he is destined for greatness, and his mother has told him this the entire time.
At some point, when that doesn’t happen, you start to feel very small.”
This season started off with the arrival of Lex Luthor (Titus Welliver) into the Titans’ lives.
He even embraced “Luthor” as his last name.
Now we see the results!
“He’s confused by magic.
It’s a vulnerability that doesn’t make sense to him,” Walker says.
“You see Jinx kind of needling him about that in a scene that I really quite like.
He’s struggling with that and he starts to get very insecure.
So a lot of his reaction is like, oh, I’m freaked out.
He has to go to extremes to figure out whether or not they work for him or not.”
But as Walker notes, death has always been a “slippery concept” onTitans.
“We’re loose with death,” Walker says.
“I think that it’s transitory.
So I would love to have Jinx and Lisa back on the show.
She’s such a breath of fresh air.
The cast loved her and we loved working with her.”
The first six episodes ofTitansseason 4 are streaming now on HBO Max.
