As pre-production continues on Titans Season 3, a new behind-the-scenes photo from the DC Universe series' second season has surfaced online showcasing star Esai Morales celebrating his birthday as Deathstroke would.

The photo has Morales on set and in-costume as the deadly mercenary, cutting his birthday cake clean in half with his trusty katana as the rest of the cast and crew look on amused. A second photo has Morales eating the cake frosting right off of his blade.

Morales' Deathstroke served as the primary antagonist for Season 2. He was revealed to be Aqualad's murderer and forced the original incarnation of the young team to disband after losing his son in the subsequent confrontation.

Deathstroke met his untimely end in a showdown with the team, including his daughter Rose Wilson. It is unclear if the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic will impact production on Season 3, but it is still slated for a premiere by the end of the year.
