Yeah, I don't understand why people are acting like the Ric thing was ending in this issue or in this arc. We know it isn't going to end as they are dragging it out until a Summer event thing Tynion is doing for his Batman run when they force the Nightwing book to be part of whatever that is going to be. Then after that it is going to go into whatever 5G is. The entire Owls arc was pointless. Showing or adding even more memories for him to deal with does nothing but trick readers into thinking having those nostalgic images on panel actually mean something. Like that Ric is finally ending, but we know it isn't. It is deceptive marketing. Dick is still going to be doing exactly what Ric was doing before the Owls arc even started. He's stuck in the same place, dealing with the same people and dealing with his memory issues. This has been going on since this whole Ric saga started. It is the exact same formula and nothing has changed.

We are happy to be on the road out
-
Yeah. [spoil]The issue ended with him uncertain of which memories are real, so he currently only trusts his recent ones. That's the only reason he's still Ric at this point. Once he sees Joker, he'll know the superhero memories are the true ones and can purge the other set. Then he'll be fully restored. The next arc is the last for the current status quo.[/spoil]
-
Yeah, what? Is Dick not back like you said. Arcs under the current regime drag out till 4-6 issues. You are just confirming what we are saying. We have months to go still.
Unfortunately Ric has already gone on too long, and now they are gonna drag it out for another 4-6 months. Even with YotV Jurgan’s run fell under Red Hood. Add another 6 or so months and Dick will be lucky to come back to a book ranking above 150. Which then in comes 5G.

He already saw his memories when Bruce and Damian showed him the Batcave and their recordings and he already faced Batman villains. He's in denial.

Dick's memories but Ric's personality.

Djin most likely. Or her 'death' is ascending to a higher plane of existence. I'm tired of TT/Titans characters getting killed off for shock value.
I'm guessing that Batman shuts down this version of the Teen Titans and we get a new roster without Damian in May.

That blue guy is narrating, and he's saying those things happened. It's not just Wally's memories, accept it.

Presumably written by Thompson alone (he's probably been scripting Glass's plots since he came on board). Who would be used I wonder? Especially if there's no Robin.
And I agree about who doesn't make it, Djinn probably sacrifices herself to destroy her brother.

Teen Titans artist Bernard Chang (who did most of Glass's run) has gone over to Marvel, he's drawing a new X-Men book called Children of the Atom.
