Titans Showrunner Discusses Post-Credits Scene From Season Finale

Warning: Spoilers follow for the Titans season finale.

Titans showrunner Greg Walker spoke with EW about the post-credits scene from the show’s season finale episode. That scene saw the debut of Superboy (Connor Kent) and Krypto, as they seemed to break out of Cadmus. Walker revealed that he didn’t initially plan to bring Superboy into the show.

“It wasn’t totally planned from day one — or maybe it was in [Geoff Johns and Akiva Goldsman’s] heads, but they didn’t tell me,” said Walker. “It definitely wasn’t something that we thought of until the very end. I think we knew that would be a direction that would be exciting for the fans and a tease that would be interesting for us as well, and that was the best spot to put it in.”

Walker added, “What I can say is that we still want to take the same dimensionalized and psychologically grounded approach that we do with the other characters and apply that same pressure to Conner Kent and see what shakes out when you put a character like that through that test. You know, questions of identity, questions of powers, questions of your place in the universe. These are all questions that are interesting for any kind of Superman character, and are really interesting for Conner.”
