    Lmao @ history. It's literal #fakenews.

    Maybe those characters aren't showing up because they're books sold like shit?

For females, Jessica Cruz is the queen, so no Fire, Renee Montoya, or Black Orchid...etc.
    I'm still almost shocked that Vibe is probably one of the most popular parts of The Flash TV show but he's been in limbo for even longer then that show's been on.

    It looks like an interesting mix of all his different looks.

    She was also a lot more violent and colder (relatively) then I think a lot of people expect from Kori now.

    Agreed. The two really shine in Devin Grayson's run and are a major part of some fantastic stories. I've been growing to appreciate the NTT era more as of late, but I still don't think it compares.

    She's very much a warrior woman in NTT, and it doesn't really work anymore. She was basically just there for T & A and to be badass sometimes. She spends way too much time pining after Dick or her boyfriend that dies.

    Wolfman was only great when he had Perez around. He was good otherwise but it didn't really compare after he left - and to be honest his Kori is far from my favorite, or at least how he wrote her back then. She was even better in that single issue of Teen Titans that he wrote I want to say last month or the month before?

    Out of the 3 JL books so far this is the only one of real interest to me so far. Man I hope we get some real badass stuff from Azrael here too.

    I was happy when he was around in Detective Comics but he never really got to do anything in the book.

    Also Cyborg, Azrael, Jessica and Starfire? I'd be happy with that being a four way love triangle/square.

    Darkseid's a bit eh to me. But I doubt he'll be more than an ongoing begrudging ally anyway like most stories IE COIE where the heroes sort of worked with him (and all sorts of other villains).

    Maybe if they give him a full cosmic power-up so he's on even footing with the other 3 heroes (Even as a street-leveler I'm fairly sure JPV hasn't managed to win a single fight in Rebirth) he can go to Galador and challenge Rom for the title of "Greatest of the Spaceknights".

    Eh. Being street level never really stopped Batman. Course I've been annoyed with how nerfed Jean-Paul's been in Detective Comics.

    Battle wise he's pretty much Cass level and possibly more so.

    It says it all that a battle (albeit brainwashed) that had him battle Kate and Cass together to stop him made him look like nothing instead of reminding folks how powerful he really is.

    Part of me is guessing he's here and likely to bring in a religious aspect to the series probably even to trade barbs in regards to God and Darkseid.

    And there are plenty of people who have a problem with how Batman gets upgraded to unstoppable mega genius levels during larger scale JL stories.

    He lost to a handful of mooks, a supposedly stronger brainwashed version of himself lost to Cass and Kate, barely even scratching the former, he couldn't take down Ascalon and needed Zatanna to come in with a deus ex machina, and he and Luke together got walked through by Clayface off-panel. And people like to say that Tynion's made Bruce look weak.

    I do see Cass, Bruce and JPV as the strongest in combat of the BatFam.

    I'm definitely interested in seeing what they do there.

    Well, disagreed. I think it says something that Wolfman's NTT is still considered the standard and, yeah, I can see it being dated in regards to its pop-culture references, but its stories and plot lines still hold up to this day.

    I'm curious to see how they handle the relationships in this book.

    His suit does look kind of Gothic Cosmic. Almost like Marvel's Darkhawk.

    Okay, so he made a few characters look weak .

    If Cyborg and Starfire hook up that would be a pretty big bombshell for Titans’ fans. I’m sure there would be a lot of polarizing opinions. I would be all for it.
