Really curious what this new Donna thing is going to be.

Hmm..... mother of Lord Chaos?

I was always fine with Troia as a name but at this point she’s the Titans’ Jean Grey.

I also liked Troia. Wish it had stuck.

Peace

Try to translate Troia from italian to english

People always bring this up. It doesn't really matter; names having different meanings in different languages is very common. TinTin means something very different in Japanese; he wouldn't be called that in Japan. Star Wars has many names with double meanings in Brazil, so we changed the names to something that would work here.

Troia is fine for the rest of the world, Italy can change her name to whatever else they find appropriate.

Agree, I also like the name Troia for her. It refers to the mythologic city, nevertheless I'm italian and I can't help to think about it.

I like just Donna Troy. Not having secret identity could be good for Donna.

This. Just because one country bastardizes a word into something icky doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer for it ����

That's the thing - she DOESN'T have a secret identity does she? None of the Wonder Family do. Their codenames are nothing but tradition at this point. Everyone knows that Wonder Woman is Princess Diana from Paradise Island. She and Donna both gave the secret identities up a long time ago. Cassie got outed, resulting in her expulsion from school. Yara's never bothered hiding who she is.

I agree. For goodness sakes, this team refers to their leader as “Dick”! ��

Is that a bullet wound?

[Thirteen]

He is called Deathstroke already in that first image.

Yes, and then primarily referred to as TERMINATOR for the bulk of his story until DEATHSTROKE rose to prominence for the reasons already stated. I commend the animated TEEN TITANS for making "SLADE" as a name sound absolutely sinister.

I was always fine with Troia as a name but at this point she’s the Titans’ Jean Grey.

Always found it interesting that so many of her Titans cohort have hero names that could easily apply to Donna as well: GOLDEN EAGLE (frequent Wonder symbol), ARSENAL (when she became a weapons heavy character and explains the "A" belt that's supposed to be a W), even STARFIRE (to reference the star-spangled Wonder motif)... honorable mention to HUNTRESS - which was considered to reference Diana Goddess of the Hunt and to show the generations crisscrossing codenames with legacies with "Huntress" coming from the BatFamily similar to "Nightwing" originating in a Superman story...

Is that a bullet wound?

That's the least of the scarring Grayson should have!

[Badou]

Is that a bullet wound?

It's the bullet wound from when the Joker shot him in Batman #408. Which was written at the time to be Dick's final mission as Robin, but I don't know if the context of the issue is canon anymore but Dick getting shot at least is. I think since Redondo has been on art in Nightwing he has been drawing the bullet wound consistently. The wound also shows up in Nightwing #150.
