Superhero show Titans currently filming on Toronto's streets
One of the great things about summertime in Toronto is getting to see our regular old streets transform into something from another world.
Usually, that world is just New York — but with our city's film industry having experienced a major boom in recent years, locals are getting used to seeing more spectacular things around town.
Fake helicopter crashes anyone? How about Kurt Russel riding a sleigh? Or Damien Lewis in a fat suit that consists only of Rob Ford's head?

Aparentemente, são os dublês durante o intervalo (já que a Columba está usando um roupão) e parecem ensaiar uma coreografia de luta. Eles não estão brigando como alguns estão dizendo. #Titans pic.twitter.com/ZgJ98NNE8C
Eagle-eyed DC Comics fans have taken note that an upcoming web TV series called Titans is currently filming in downtown Toronto, and they are stoked to be snapping photos from set.

While more obscure than DC franchises like Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman or even Shazam, Titans has been described as "easily one of the company's biggest upcoming live-action TV series."
Screenrant notes that the series will launch on DC Comics' own streaming service, DC Universe, later this year, and that the show will be based on a young superhero team of the same name.

So keep your eyes peeled, Toronto. You might just get yourself a scoop.
