DC Universe’s Titans season 2 adds Joshua Orpin as Superboy
DC Entertainment has announced Superboy is coming to DC Universe’s Titans Season 2 and will be played by Australian actor Joshua Orpin (The Neon Spectrum).
Titans’ Superboy is described as the angsty Teenager of Steel searching for purpose and the truth about his past. While looking for answers, he crashes into the world of the Titans and finds an unlikely home and surrogate family as well as revelations that carry more complications than he ever bargained for.
Orpin will be playing Conner Kent, the second DC Comics character called Superboy. Created by Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett as part of DC’s 1992-1993 The Death of Superman crossover event, Conner is a clone intended to fill the void left by the apparent death of the Man of Steel. Believing himself to be a clone of Superman himself, he later learns things are a bit more complicated.
