Dick Grayson: Robin / Nightwing Appreciation 2020

[QUOTE=Pohzee;5140544]There's clearly some plans for the Titans in the works[/QUOTE]

Tv show or comics wise?
I did a quick Google search but nothing jumped out at me for the latter. I could use some good news though.

[QUOTE=L.H.;5141616]Jurgens said he was going to do a couple of issues after #75, before leaving the book to a new creative team. Probably we will get a new writer in issue #78.[/QUOTE]

Man, they should just cancel the book and relaunch it in January with a new #1.

Isn't that the general idea? I honestly don't know what DC is doing anymore lol

With Dick, Starfire, and Cyborg taking center stage in Justice League, Donna and Gar popping up in Teen Titans, and the Tula Lotay variant with the New Teen Titans together on the Death Metal ties ins, it's certain that we're headed for a reunion

The titans are DCs X-men and need to be prioritized as such but the given that’s secondary team role to the suicide squad

Maybe what they need is Hickman to come over and do something after he finishes on X-Men.

I would pay $10 an issue for that

Good to know, thanks!

I'd be all for that. It would automatically be the best run on the title after NTT (and as it would be modern, would surpass that in many ways).

I mentioned a while back that that Alex Ross art made me wish for a 12 part [I]Justice[/I] style series for the NTT, and now I'm really bummed that I thought of that because it is very unlikely to happen:(

I kinda want a Nightwing/Flamebird miniseries with Dick and Bette

I imagine Jurgens will stick around long enough to finish out the trade, rather than have new creators come in the middle of it.

I'm just waiting to hear who the new creators will be and what they'll be doing. After all the chaos at AT&T we might get stuck with another filler run before the new plan/direction goes into effect though.

And that's assuming Dick is enough of a priority to keep his book and actually *have* a plan put in place for him. I still maintain that AT&T would have to be dumb as rocks to not recognize Dick's potential and his already impressive larger media profile and want to capitalize on that, but you never know; DC does love to let me down.

Going back to my posts about how I wish Dick never gave up the Robin identity, I wonder if the Titans as a franchise would be better off if he never gave it up as well. Since DC constantly ages down the Titans characters to fit with whoever is the current Robin who is always stuck as a teenager. They did that with Tim and we more recently saw it with Damian too. I get they do that because Robin is the most iconic member of the team, so they try to fix everything around him, but had Dick kept the Robin identity and aged like he did with Nightwing I wonder if DC would have allowed the Titans to age more as well with him. Where they aren't constantly deaging Raven or Beast Boy, or constantly sticking characters like Starifire or now Donna on teams with teenagers. Maybe they could have made that jump into permanent adult team, but I don't know. Probably not. Since it doesn't fix the Justice League problem.

Yeah, what's with that? Suicide Squad came out of nowhere to me. It's Teen Titans with NTT crew who got a popular cartoon and another cartoon that the network spam slots on. No one outside comics talks about Suicide Squad before Harley got into the team and even after that, it's often to bash the movie.
