I’m down to Batman and the Bendis Superman books that I’m buying from DC and that’s it.
I bought literally every book when the New 52 started, and it’s dwindled down to these three.
Lodbell on Nightwing? Not only no, but NEVER. He’s my favorite character but I won’t read him if they put him with Lodbell.
Killing Wally, Roy, Tim? Yea, that’s a no from me too. I don’t care that they’ll all return eventually, as do all characters who are killed off, but killing off characters is all DC seems to do lately and they seem to do it purely as a gimmick. I’m not buying that crap.
I might as well go back to Marvel or just stop reading comics altogether.
If only. True I don't think it would matter one way or the other. Young Justice was a success among the young adult crew, immense presence on the internet and did nothing for the characters in comics. I don't think Justice League Unlimited ever helped Shayera, J'onn J'onzz or John Stewart and the there is Wally, again. Cyborg in the the Justice League and nothing. Cartoon Network's Teen Titans and Teen titans go, The Lego Batman Movie, all successes and ther you have their characters.
Titans is about to premier in a little more that a month and the only character DC is promoting and branching is Jason Todd, because, dark and edge I guess.
Some times it's hard not to think their sales strategy is mind-blowing stupid, the only thing left is assume there is something the public can't see, but then they put Lobdell on Nightwing book.
I think that's more because it was one of the few things that got people excited about the show. And their version of Jason seems less dark and edgy than the main characters.
The fan reaction to the costume reveals of the main character and the first trailer (staring these characters) was for the most part negative or indifferent, mostly they apparently tried to go dark and edgy opposed to fun.
And sofar it is really hard to tell how much Jason will actually be on the show, I doubt he will be in every episode, and the main plot of the show seems to be about Raven.
Honestly it is for the casual view really hard to tell who the Flash in the DCAU was.

As far as I remember Dick's and Hawk and Dove's costumes got people super excited, and that was it, not more promotion until the trailer that went and used the paparazzi's looks everybody hated.
I think you can't compare reactions to two different efforts, if they had bother to promote the Titans at all, people may have been excited about them.
It was a guess, I have no idea why they would prioritize Jason instead any of the presumed protagonists. But here we are, the show isn't going to give a push to anyone DC isn't pushing already
It was Batman Day. They promoted their Robins episode for Batman Day. Dick is the main character of the show, Jason exists solely to build Dick up. The showrunner himself said so in the interview that accompanied the clip.

Let's just hope this amnesia direction doesn't drag on for too long. It would be a disaster if Dick is cut of from the rest of the DCU for next 2 years or so.
its might of been the jsutice leagure but Super, Bats and Wondy were all that mattered. Animated serieos are about selling toys so that not comprenble
Titans will Nightiwing live action debut and give the GP (general public) a look into nightwing, if they respond well then DC might prioritize him. Hes the fricken face of their new Streaming servce
Halrey quinn thrives and nearly snatches Wonderwomans crown becasue the GP loves her and thuse DC will continue expending effort into her multiples books, and animated series, 2 movies lined up
To think I thought i was all gonna line for NW with his book, titans and Young Justice I miss the me of 6 weeks ago
That last part. I wasn't into comics back when JLU was on and I didn't know the difference between Barry and Wally. I just know there were two, one younger and older, one died, and I didn't really care who's who because they're both Flash and I don't know the difference.
I only started caring once I read comics and saw the difference between the two characters, and when they cast Grant Gustin and also Ezra Miller my first reaction was "They should be Wally because they're too young to be Barry"
Sometimes they show up in a regular bookstore, but randomly and sparingly. The same issue can stay on the shelf for weeks without being updated by a new one. So I only bought one and I picked the one shot or stories that ends that issue... not that I cared about continuity because I was mainly there for the art, or if it features a character I like from the cartoons
Seems that Spyral will return again in Action Comics:
