Titans/Teen Titans Appreciation 2019

[Harpsikord]

Dude it’s been almost 20 year let it go

Just because it's been a long time doesn't mean that he's absolved of guilt and, what's more, that the writers/editors let it happen. Other characters still get **** all the time for the things they've done in relationships even longer than when this happened; Dick's not absolved just because he's Nightwing.

Editorial seems more inclined to push Dick and Babs to me.The best solution to the Dick, Starfire and Babs love triangle/relationship drama that the editorial keeps pushing is to have all three of them in a relationship with each other.

I think I misspoke. I was saying that editorial should be more inclined toward Dick/Kori because of all of the outside influence, not that they were.

Glass is leaving. Djinn War is his final arc.

Thank the Dark Lord.

I could see them bringing the series to an end.

I don't actually see it ending yet. I think that instead of ending it, they're more inclined to keep it running through to 5G with Robbie Thompson at the helm - after all he's JUST joined for this next arc.

I want one good Titans book lead by Donna Troy, with Dick as the second in command.
The others would be:

Raven
Changeling
Natasha Irons
Bunker
Argent

I'd want it to be a cool mix of different iterations. While this would be the main team, the Titans would be a large organization with members all over the world (plus Starfir and Cyborg still operating from space).
They'd be a lot more accessible to regular citizens than the god-like Justice League, so the Titans would usually be the first heroes contacted to protect the population from metahuman threats.

So pretty much the previous senior Titans team, with Miss Martian and Kyle Rayner replaced by a character from the 90s Teen Titans and one from the New 52 team, and Gar Logan reverting to his other codename (which makes sense - if everyone is aged up like Nightwing and Batgirl were recently, then that means Gar would be in his late twenties too).

If they decide to use Steel again, I hope the writers actually give her a petsonality.She was just there to fill a roster spot during Abnett's run.

[king81992]

why do people always say this?



anyway it takes 6 months for an arc to happen. We will see, I know damian will be making guest appearance in LEGION with Jon, as nightwing returns he can be seen in his supporting cast again, he will also be appearing in DCuniverse Harley quinn, so if bendis wasnt to screw with him too........

Speaking of Nightwing, when will he be back in his right mind? Ric was a bad joke in terrible taste that went on way too long and turning Dick/Ric into a Talon is not going to make things better.

[Godlike13]

Don't worry, the Talon thing is just a fake out. He's back to being Ric by January. DC knows what it's fans want.

[Digifiend]

While you're right that he'll no longer be Talon by then, Ric won't be lasting much longer. This is the most recent solicit. Sounds to me like it's only a few issues away from finally being over.

Following the events of October’s Night-wing Annual #2, Ric Grayson is getting closer to the truth about what happened to him. Talon has been vanquished, but his interference has put Ric on the trail of other members of the Court of Owls. Have they been taking advantage of his injured state from the beginning? And what does that mean for the life he thought he lost?

This is true. She was just there as their tech girl. She must have traits that make her unique, but she was so generic she was like a knock-off Ironheart (despite the fact that Natasha actually predates Riri by a long time). Any personality she may have had in previous appearances wasn't shown in Titans. Raven, Beast Boy, Miss Martian and Donna got focus, Nightwing too until he was forced out. But Natasha, nope. At least Kyle had the excuse of the book being cancelled almost as soon as he joined the team. I bet they only used Natasha at all because they couldn't have Cyborg.

I don't actually see it ending yet. I think that instead of ending it, they're more inclined to keep it running through to 5G with Robbie Thompson at the helm - after all he's JUST joined for this next arc.

I bet I know why he joined - Glass was actually already gone or about to go, and Thompson's scripting from his story outline.

Alright, it was a nice, quick 2 year run for him. Can't wait to see read the final arc, and hope it finishes with a bang.

People have been saying this about Ric since it started. Ric probably has another 6 months to it at least. Every thing they do with with Ric is dragged out beyond reason.

It absolutely has been dragged out beyond reason, but it is definitely coming to an end soon, especially since it was one of Tynion's promises for his Batman run.

Speaking of which...

Is he becoming Agent 37 again? Tom King and Mikel Janín are working on something Grayson related! And yes, Tom calls him by his surname, implying it does have to do with the DC You status quo.

I guess it could be a flashback to that era. Or a new cover for a collection or something.

While I am enjoying Adam Glass' Teen Titans I am glad he is moving on after telling his story and establishing his characters. Writers sometimes stick around spinning their wheels and I am glad Glass isn't doing that. I look forward to seeing what Robbie Thompson brings to the title. I hope Glass gets more work after this introducing and defining new characters is hard especially in current DC but he done his part. Can't wait to see what happens next.

BENDIS in TT too not please..

Bendis TT can't be worse than the current one.

[Godlike13]

Its not that Bendis would take over TT, but that TT goes away to not distract from the teenage hero landscape he's building.
