For Drupal 8 get node title is not as straight forward as it used to be in Drupal 7. We used to have
$title = drupal_get_title();
for Drupal 8 we have something else.
In Drupal 8 you can get the node title from your theme’s YOURTHEME.theme
file like so
function YOURTHEME_preprocess_page(&$vars){
if ($node = Drupal::request()->attributes->get('node')) {
$node = Drupal::routeMatch()->getParameter('node');
$my_title = $node->getTitle();
}
}
