I think Williamson is getting Titans.
To me that sounds like the same short -sighted, trend chasing approach DiDio and company have taken. It begins with a rejection of the duh historic and one-of-a-kind traits in favor of making it some thing it isn't AND something that owes its existence to the very design they are bastardizing.
Superman does not need to mimic any other brand--he's freaking SUPERMAN. That paths leads to unfocused, Hodge podge mediocrity. Look at the comics for Wonder Woman to get an idea.
With Taylor so far, it seems to me, it is much more likely that he is taking one of Superman's books. At least based on what he has been tweeting in recent months, well, that really does give the impression. And, perhaps, some Super Sons project, he reacted quite brightly to Jimenez's teaser, and he is a fan of them, like his children.
And Williamson takes the Titans for sure. He has both tie-ins to Death Metal in one way or another related to the Titans, and it's hard to say what else he can be given now, to be honest.
Taylor, when not brutally killing characters off or making them evil, does a pretty good job with certain characters like Damian, Jon, and some others. Him doing Super Sons, so long as it doesn't go grim/dark, would be okay in my book.
Honestly even when Taylor writes characters when they're not evil or monsters, I think writes them on generic autopilot versions. His Wonder Woman is pretty terrible across the board but even his Superman in the pre-POD Injustice stuff and DCeased was prett generic "nice but dumb" guy to me.
So I guess he'd be perfect for a modern Justice League or Harley Quinn book.
