So I think it's a foregone conclusion that sooner or later we'll get a Titans movie. Having been born in the mid 90s I grew up watching the CN show which was pure anime-inspired, OTT amazingness, I really hope they lift elements from it when they make the live action movie.
Has anyone else grown up with the show? What elements from it would you want to see incorporated? I personally would love to see a live action adaptation of the Terra on the show. Where she lacks control over her powers causing mudslides, earthquakes and other natural disasters so she's in self-imposed exile until the Titans take her in. Have her be a really sympathetic, likable character and then pull the rug out from everyone and have her smug, sadistic, sociopathic nature come out and ultimately redeem her in the end. I think it would be just an awesome character to adapt and actually, it seems as though they did take inspiration from her for El diablo.

One has pyrokinesis, the other terrakinesis, both in a form of self-imposed exile because of their past actions. Both totally lose control when they get angry. Both ultimately redeem themselves through a grandiose self-sacrificial gesture. Both part of a team or a task force.
They're even similar visually, Diablo's eyes glow bright red when his transformation ends while Terra's glow yellow and they both mould and transform their element at will to make shapes and figures.

If you're not familiar with the show, check out the clip below. If they take elements from this fight I can die happy. It's so cinematic and awesome.

Also, if you did watch the show, what elements would you want them to incorporate from it? And who would you want to see cast? I'd love Ellen Page as Raven.
 
I made a Teen Titans film, this would be my reference material:

DC Comics Presents # 26 "Where Nightmares Begin

- Due to the fact that I think it would be pretty awesome to begin the movie with Robin's pseudo-Dream where he's fighting along side Starfire, Beast Boy, Wonder Girl and the rest of the team while being confused about it all before waking up and finding out from Raven that the "dream" had a purpose to it.

The New Teen Titans #1 - Birth of the Titans

It would not only be ideal for setting up the team but also explains why Robin has a rocky relationship without Bruce Wayne and touching on when Wonder Woman saved Donna Troy from a fire and brought her to Themyscira.

The New Teen Titans #8 - A Day in the Lives

- Even though this was a bit of a breather issue, you got to see Starfire being her outgoing cheerful self, which is something I feel should be shown in spades here.

Tales of the New Teen Titans #4 - Starfire

- This is where the backstory of Kori and Komandr's sibling rivalry was most explored along with showcasing the torture Starfire experienced at the hands of The Citadel.

The New Teen Titans #23 -25 - Kidnapped, Citadel Strike!, and War!

The New Teen Titans Annual #1 - Final Conflict!

- Up to this point in the comics, it was one of the longest story arcs for Teen Titans and is one big space epic based Around sibling rivalry that amusingly culminates in a formal one on one fight between the sisters where they fight with their weapons and fist in a fight to the "death".

Not only that but I feel like it's the most natural storyline to use if we're doing a film that shows how they become a team due to the fact that in Birth of the Titans, The Citadel are the first villains we see fight the Titans so why not have Blackfire be the main villain?
