Teen Titans/Titans Discussion Thread

[Mystirious]

What is it about the Martians that makes them so great? J'onn and M'gann are both awesome. :up:


It is genetic for martians. :awesome:

And now you have Henderson doing her ******** not even making her fun anymore :(

:csad:

And I do not read Teen Titans anymore

[Drz]

Nicola Scott is the artist for JT Krul's TT. (http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/07/14/nicola-scott-joins-jt-krul-on-teen-titans/)

Oh and Damian Wayne is joining the Titans as their Robin.

[Assassin]

looks like rose is coming back. Damian and Rose, I'm in for a few issues.

[TheCorpulent1]

Hahahahaha, and they're bringing Ravager back! After they just got rid of her a little while ago. This is hilariously full of fail. :funny:

[Charlie Boy]

I guess they'll just let any old body in there these days...

That's a sexy cover, I must admit.

[fifthfiend]

Damien, just the thing JT "Cat****er" Krul needed to ensure Teen Titans's continued terribleness :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm convinced everyone at DC has to be actively looking for ways to f*** this series up even more. It's gotta be like their equivalent of making fun of the fat secretary or something.

[Charlie Boy]

Gar looks like a green teen wolf on that cover, and Bart looks like Oppie. I hate it. And Ravager bores the hell out of me.

[hippie_hunter]

When I heard that Damian was joining the Teen Titans I was wary. Especially since the ****er isn't even a teenager. But I freaking love that cover with him in it, what a little ****head :p.

[Charlie Boy]

I figure they're throwing Damian in this book because sales suck and Damian is Morrison's cash cow, so he's bound to boost sales. The fact that he isn't an actual teenager doesn't bother me much... Gar's been a damn teenager for the past 40 years, if we waited until Damian was actually of age to be a teen, we'd all be well into our twilight years.

[The Batman]

Sigh.

So Tim wont be on the team.

They're dumping Ms. Martian, Static, and Blue Beetle, three good members

They're still living in the past using Raven and Beast Boy...cant wait to see them fight Trigon again.

And Damian's on the team in a desperate attempt to boost sales.

Sigh.

[hippie_hunter]

Blue Beetle has been dumped a while ago due to Justice League: Generation Lost. I'm really not mourning over the loss of Static, but no Ms. Martian totally sucks.

As for Beast Boy and Raven, it's pretty obvious that the only reason why they're there is because Titans is now Deathstroke's ****** book. I doubt that we'd be seeing them on Teen Titans if Titans was still about you know....actual Titans. But they're off being on the Justice League, getting killed like Roy and Garth, off in space, etc.

[Nightwing]

They're dumping Ms. Martian, Static, and Blue Beetle, three good members
Is that even confirmed? I mean sure they're not show on either cover but that doesn't mean they might be of the team.

And I love that Damian cover. He's like - "Oh you *****es are in for it." :hehe:

[Sawyer]

Here's hoping Connor throws the little **** through a wall.

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, that wouldn't be very Supermanly of him.

(But I totally agree, he should do it. :up:)

[Charlie Boy]

I third the motion.

[Sawyer]

I'll accept a little out of character behavior if it ends with Damien getting his ass handed to him.

[TheCorpulent1]

Last week's Red Robin has left me content for the time being. :up:

[Charlie Boy]

Conner and Raven look cool, hate everyone else on that cover.

[Young Superman]

Kon and Cassie look good on that cover.

[Mogwai]

hopefully this will truly be a 'new dawn' for the teen titans... they need it.

[TheCorpulent1]

Hang on, did Cassie actually switch back to her previous costume?

[Charlie Boy]

Hey, she's not wearing that Wondergirl sweater anymore... Totally didn't catch that.

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, that's the costume she switched to during One Year Later. And, coincidentally, my least favorite of her recent costumes. :o

[Mystirious]

[TheCorpulent1]

That one's good. I liked her most recent one, too. It would've been better if they'd just stayed with that instead of going back to her tank top with the silkscreened bra design. :doh:

[Young Superman]

Am I the only one who thinks Superboy and Raven would make a good couple?

[hippie_hunter]

Am I the only one who thinks Superboy and Raven would make a good couple?

Yes :o

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm inclined to agree with hippie on this one. Besides, Conner and Cassie are a good enough couple that it'll take DC at least a couple more years to break them up.

[Cain]

If Kon throws Damian through a wall I'll buy 2 copies. I love the little bastard and the idea of the DCU showing the goddamned Batman's son tough love is always hysterical to me. Conner & Cassie is old hat BTW and needs to effing die. I'm 27 and I've been reading about these 2 being cuddly with each other since I was 15. That says enough right there, it's tired storytelling by now. Have the Titans work as actual Titans and drop the soap opera stuff.

[NightBeetle]

Besides, Conner and Tim are a good enough couple .

Fixed :awesome:

[hippie_hunter]

I'm cool with Conner/Cassie as long as Cassie isn't being written as a stupid *****. I seriously don't know why Cassie is so mad at Conner right now?

[Young Superman]

I'm cool with Conner/Cassie as long as Cassie isn't being written as a stupid *****. I seriously don't know why Cassie is so mad at Conner right now?

Agreed

Felicia Henderson will be writing a "Static" ongoing next year, Sattler said, reiterating an earlier announcement. Krul then said a few words about "Teen Titans," revealing that there will be a brand-new Titans character introduced soon, plus appearances by the Damian Wayne Robin. "Issue 100 will launch a crazy, crazy story," Krul said.

[Charlie Boy]

What's she written before? I'm not familiar with her.

[hippie_hunter]

Teen Titans. Her run is dreadfully boring and she turned Cassie into an uber-***** and and Lorena into an uber-skank on borderline Jade like levels.

[Charlie Boy]

Jade levels of skankitude you say? Wowzerz... Since I've never read her stuff before I guess I'll give the first issue a go but I won't get my hopes up too high. I just don't want Virgil to fall by the wayside now that he isn't on the Teen Titans anymore.

Also, I think the fact that he's no longer on the team is a mistake.

[TheCorpulent1]

Especially with a cast this good Corp. It's a shame.
Good nothing. Ravager and Damian are enough on their own to make me pass on the series, even if Krul weren't associated with stuff as awful as The Rise of Arsenal.

[hippie_hunter]

Good nothing. Ravager and Damian are enough on their own to make me pass on the series, even if Krul weren't associated with stuff as awful as The Rise of Arsenal.
Ravager I can understand because she became absurdly boring once McKeever started writing her, but Damian is freaking awesome.

That said, I just don't see any plausible way for Damian to stay on the team for that long.

He's 10 years old while Conner, Cassie, and Bart are physically/psychologically or actually 17/18. Beast Boy is 21/22, and Raven while physically being at the age of her Teen Titan comrades, is actually the same age as Dick Grayson. No 10 year old is going to be able to relate and develop a Titans like relationship with them. And dare I say, ever since Danny Chase, the Titans really aren't a place for people who are younger than 16.

Then you have the loyalties that Conner, Cassie, and Bart have towards Tim. It's already been shown that Conner is not fond of the concept of simply replacing Tim, seen during Stephanie's short tenure as Robin.

And finally, you have Damian's personality itself. While reading his incredibly rude and misogynistic personality is fun to read, a person like that isn't going to have many friends. Hell the art is already showing Damian planning on acting like a little troll with Conner and Beast Boy already not liking him.

With TEEN TITANS #88, writer J.T. Krul and artist Nicola Scott step onto one of DC’s most iconic series, and from what little we’ve revealed and teased about the book, it’s clear the new team is prepared to move the Teen Titans forward, with a healthy nod to wha’s come before. Oh, and Damian. Can’t forget him, can we?
We’ve got a first, early look at the team’s kickoff issue right here, and very little of what I’ve said does these pages justice. So, sit back and click away. You’re in for a treat.
And stay tuned next week for a few more process pieces, including a few surprises.

Cassie's costume is wrong, she upgraded out of that one a while back. Normally I would make some lame joke about how I don't blame Scott for not reading any issues of Teen Titans for the last couple years, but...didn't she draw it right during Blackest Night: WW?

Oh, right, Beast Boy's back on the team. Hard to tell without the green.

It looks like Scott's switching Cassie back to that costume, actually. She's drawn her in it for every piece of promo art I've seen so far. Kind of sucks because I personally hate that costume, but I ain't reading this s*** anyway, so what do I care?

[TheCorpulent1]

It's just a shirt with an awkward-looking gold bra... thing... silkscreened onto it. I could send a picture of that to CafePress and get myself a shirt like that (but I don't have the figure to pull it off ;)).

Eh, there are far too many capes in comics anyway, superhero writers have no imagination.

I am not very optimistic about the writing team

Krul wrote the awful Rise of Arsenal mini series

That mini had everything you could ever want. EVER.

Bionic limb- CHECK.
Impotence- CHECK.
Assaulting someone with HIV- CHECK.
Drug use- CHECK.
Clutching a dead cat after you've used it as a weapon against tweakers- CHECK.
Dick Grayson- CHECK.

Henderson's run had Conner, Cassie, and Bart too, but the stories were still boring.

They're already back. They came back a few months ago while Henderson was still writing. She didn't really get to do much with them, but I tried it out when they came back and you're right, Henderson's dialogue is bad and her plots are boring.

Good luck with Krul. I've tried to be hopeful for Teen Titans numerous times already and I've been burned every time.

[Mogwai]

damian is wreaking some havoc. love it.

[hippie_hunter]

At first I didn't notice the blades so I was thinking that Damian was throwing a Robin shield like Captain America :p

[Charlie Boy]

Anyone still reading this book?

[storyteller]

About time, the titans need a pair on that team since the Robins have been the only members to own em.

[Mystirious]

Anyone still reading this book?

I still am but I am not sute why :(

[Charlie Boy]

How's that little turd, Damian doing on the team?

[hippie_hunter]

He's not on it yet.

[Charlie Boy]

So what's he doing in the book?

[Mystirious]

He's not on it yet.

Which issue is he going to join the team

[hippie_hunter]

So what's he doing in the book?

He's not in the book yet. He joins when Krul takes over in like October/November.

[Charlie Boy]

OOOOOOOh. I thought Krul's run had already started.

Well, when it does start, let me know what that little turd, Damian, is up to.

[Colossal Spoons]

Anyone still reading this book?

I still am but I am not sute why :(

Same here. Superboy and Kid Flash are the only people keeping me onboard.

...and now Damien :(

He's not in the book yet. He joins when Krul takes over in like October/November.

Bombshell and Ravager are going to kill him :D

[Charlie Boy]

I love both Bart and Kon, but not even they can bring me to buy Teen Titans. Not again.

[Mystirious]

Same here. Superboy and Kid Flash are the only people keeping me onboard.

...and now Damien :(



Bombshell and Ravager are going to kill him :D

Yes they are

With a dead cat

[Colossal Spoons]

I love both Bart and Kon, but not even they can bring me to buy Teen Titans. Not again.

I first hopped on the title during the crossover with the Outsiders. Both books aren't half as good as they were back then :(

[TheCorpulent1]

I love both Bart and Kon, but not even they can bring me to buy Teen Titans. Not again.
They already fooled me with Bart and Kon during Henderson's run. Not this time. Plus, Ravager's return is sufficient to ward me off anyway. I can't f***ing stand that chick.

[Colossal Spoons]

You hate her more than Bombshell? :p

[TheCorpulent1]

I've had more exposure to her than Bombshell, so yeah.

[Colossal Spoons]

Never thought I'd hear that

Corp and Bombshell, sitting in a tree...

[Mystirious]

Never thought I'd hear that

Corp and Bombshell, sitting in a tree...

**** just got real

[Colossal Spoons]

It's just that Corp has been telling me how much he hates Bombshell for years now haha

[Charlie Boy]

They already fooled me with Bart and Kon during Henderson's run. Not this time. Plus, Ravager's return is sufficient to ward me off anyway. I can't f***ing stand that chick.

I've just got no reason to read that book anymore... Static's getting his own book, as is Kon, and Bart will pop up in Flashpoint. Will I miss seeing them interact together? Definitely. But not that much.

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm coming to terms with the fact that it'll never be as good as those early years ever again. Johns' core cast has moved in too many disparate directions since then.

It's when I think back to Young Justice that I really get depressed, though. :csad:

[Charlie Boy]

You know what would be sick? A Young Justice reunion special edition of some sort... In honor of the new show.

Or maybe a re-print of the old issues... Just to get some buzz going... Not that it really needs it.

[TheCorpulent1]

They're just reprinting the series in those s***ty, floppy-covered, 3-issue non-trades. :o

[Charlie Boy]

Aww but I want em in TPB form. That would be sooooo tits.

[Mystirious]

Aww but I want em in TPB form. That would be sooooo tits.

DC really should release all the Young Justice comic books in a trade

[TheCorpulent1]

Aww but I want em in TPB form. That would be sooooo tits.
But then DC couldn't nickle-and-dime you on half-trades. :o

[hippie_hunter]

Bombshell and Ravager are going to kill him :D

Bombshell is leaving as well. Krul's inital line up is going to be Superboy, Wonder Girl, Bart, Ravager, Beast Boy, and Raven with Damian joining the following issue.

And I really don't see Damian lasting that long either.

[Colossal Spoons]

Aw, no Miss Martian? Sucks, but w/e. The rest of the team looks solid; only Tim would complete it.

[TheCorpulent1]

Superboy and Kid Flash are literally the only characters I like on that roster. :o

[Colossal Spoons]

I'm way behind on Red Robin. Is Tim any closer to finding Bruce or what?

[Charlie Boy]

He's stopped searching for Bruce quite some time ago.

Also, how much longer can Gar really be a Teen Titan? It's getting ridiculous now.

[TheCorpulent1]

Tim outsourced that s*** to Rip Hunter. :oldrazz:

He's busy trying to disabuse Vicki Vale of her idea that she knows the Bat-family's identities, dodging the odd supervillain, and enacting his elaborate schemes to expose and cut off the flow of criminal activity from around the world before it gets to Gotham.

[Charlie Boy]

Love that **** so much.

Holy crap, that sounds boring as hell

[Charlie Boy]

Except it's not. It's...I really don't wanna use the word 'epic'. I feel as though it's been used so much in media lately that it's lost all the power behind it. Someone give me a new word to describe just how amazing the Red Robin book is.

[TheCorpulent1]

Holy crap, that sounds boring as hell
You have got to be trying to suck now. :o

[Colossal Spoons]

Haha, all that crap is fun to read? I planned on checking it out, but that synopsis sounded worse than JLA/JSA right now.

[hippie_hunter]

Also, how much longer can Gar really be a Teen Titan? It's getting ridiculous now.

That's nothing, even though she has a teenaged body, Raven is technically the same age as Dick Grayson and Wally West, late 20's.

I can understand though. Beast Boy and Raven have no place in the Justice League, Outsiders, or Justice Society. And the Titans have become Deathstroke's bastardization. At least they are being used on a team that they have roots in and are not being raped like Roy is.

[TheCorpulent1]

Haha, all that crap is fun to read? I planned on checking it out, but that synopsis sounded worse than JLA/JSA right now.
Well, I mean, he punches people too. Did you read Robin back before Infinite Crisis? Red Robin under Niceiza is most like that.

[Charlie Boy]

That's nothing, even though she has a teenaged body, Raven is technically the same age as Dick Grayson and Wally West, late 20's.

I can understand though. Beast Boy and Raven have no place in the Justice League, Outsiders, or Justice Society. And the Titans have become Deathstroke's bastardization. At least they are being used on a team that they have roots in and are not being raped like Roy is.

Well Ravens all into that mystical mumbo jumbo, so while I'm aware that she's actually closer to 30 than 20, I have no problem accepting her on the Teen Titans, but Gar's nearly been there since the beginning. What's his excuse? I rather the character disappear into obscurity until the Titans are the Titans again.

[TheCorpulent1]

Stick him back with the Doom Patrol, if anything.

[Charlie Boy]

Yeah, there ya go.

That Blackest Night/Titans tie in seemed like the perfect way to let Beast Boy exit the picture. He could take some time off to do some soul searching or whatever.

[TheCorpulent1]

They need to get him something other than Terra to deal with whenever he comes back. They've been milking that one goddamn story with him for decades now. :o

[Mr. Earle]

Tim outsourced that s*** to Rip Hunter. :oldrazz:

He's busy trying to disabuse Vicki Vale of her idea that she knows the Bat-family's identities, dodging the odd supervillain, and enacting his elaborate schemes to expose and cut off the flow of criminal activity from around the world before it gets to Gotham.
I'd let her expose me.

"On tomorrow's paper, Vicky Vale exposes the identity of the Dark Knight!"

*Knock, knock*

"Evening Miss Vale, Joker here. Please smell my little flower and die. Hahahahahahahahaha!"Except it's not. It's...I really don't wanna use the word 'epic'. I feel as though it's been used so much in media lately that it's lost all the power behind it. Someone give me a new word to describe just how amazing the Red Robin book is.
Eh, you're overreacting. Its good, but not THAT good.

[Mr. Earle]

So Nicola Scott and Krull are taking up Titans. How great will Scott have to draw for you guys to buy the book despite Krull's writing?

I'll be picking it up as long as Damian stays in the team, or if Tim rejoins. Otherwise i've never read a Titans story and sure as hell wont start now when Krull's writing. Any great older stories that you'd suggest?

[Charlie Boy]

Eh, you're overreacting. Its good, but not THAT good.

Well, Tim's my favorite... So if anything, I'd say I'm only reacting.

[hippie_hunter]

Krul's take on the Titans has so far been pretty good. Honestly the only bad thing he's really done is Rise of Arsenal. Green Arrow and Titans have been rather good.

[hippie_hunter]

Well Ravens all into that mystical mumbo jumbo, so while I'm aware that she's actually closer to 30 than 20, I have no problem accepting her on the Teen Titans, but Gar's nearly been there since the beginning. What's his excuse? I rather the character disappear into obscurity until the Titans are the Titans again.

At most Beast Boy is 22 and he's infatuated with Raven right now. Also this particular volume of Teen Titans had Cyborg and Starfire on the team when they are in their mid to late 20's.

I say keep him on the team for the time being. Hopefully when the Titans reunite instead of that Deathstroke ********, move Beast Boy AND Raven onto Titans.

[Mr. Earle]

Well, Tim's my favorite... So if anything, I'd say I'm only reacting.
Sure, but the story isnt something spectacular that will become a classic. Just keep things under perspective bro.

[Charlie Boy]

Honestly, I'm just tired of the guy being on the team. Hasn't he been infatuated with Raven for a few years now? Is his infatuation with her the only reason he's still on the team? Cause if that's it, that only reinforces his pointlessness there.

[Mr. Earle]

Krul's take on the Titans has so far been pretty good. Honestly the only bad thing he's really done is Rise of Arsenal. Green Arrow and Titans have been rather good.
Ah, that's good news then. But how can i overlook rise of arsenal? That and Gay for Justice really hurt my brain!

[hippie_hunter]

Ah, that's good news then. But how can i overlook rise of arsenal? That and Gay for Justice really hurt my brain!

Just do what I do. Repress the memories of Rise of Arsenal.

Seriously though both Rise of Arsenal and Cry for Justice got really bad right at the middle. Rise of Arsenal at least started off passable and Cry for Justice was just simply boring until specific issues came along and turned them into instant **** that pissed me off.

Rise of Arsenal at least started off passable and Cry for Justice was just simply boring until specific issues came along and turned them into instant **** that pissed me off.I'll try. To be honest i stopped reading it very early, but foolishly stuck with CFJ and so that hurts me most.

Gay for Justice was stupid. Simple as that.

- Hey guys. I'm a gorilla out of nowhere (i'm sorry but i didnt know him nor care for him). A friend of mine died and i want justice.
- Hey guys. I am Supergirl and i want Justice.
- Hey guys. Justice!
- So uh... werent we fighting for justice all this time?
- SHUT UP!!! Justice!
- Justice!
- Justice!
(I mean, seriously, is the writer 10 years old?)

Prometheus then takes the whole league with hax projectiles for everything. I bet he has projectiles that cure male impotency. At least in Tower of Babel Batman didnt take down the Flash in a straight fight, but no, Prometheus did.

Then Green Arrow is like: "F*** y'all b****s, i'm becoming the Punisher of DC. Dinah? Who is she?"
Hal: "Wait Ollie, i'm coming with you and wont reason with you or get the rest of the league to help. Lets go full blown retarded."

And then Ollie was a murderer and he divorced Dinah out of nowhere.

[/rant]

[Charlie Boy]

Do you really need to refer to it as "Gay For Justice"?

[hippie_hunter]

[/rant]

I wasn't bothered by Ollie killing Prometheus. He also gave up killing after he saw Mia wanting to kill the Electrocutioner. And Dinah left him, not the other way around.

For me when I read Cry for Justice I was like:

Issue 1: Okay, it's a set up issue

Issue 2: Nothing happening, but okay. It's getting rather boring now

Issue 3: Boring

Issue 4: Really boring

Issue 5: Bor....wait a minute Roy's arm got ripped off! **** you Robinson. **** you to to Hell :cmad:

Issue 6: :cmad: :cmad: :cmad: :cmad:

Issue 7: :cmad:....wait a minute. The way this story is set up, isn't the reader supposed to be angry at what happened? Touche Mr. Robinson. Touche. Rest of the series still sucked hard though. :o

[Mr. Earle]

And Dinah left him, not the other way around.She did, because he just took off with Hal without saying a word to her.

:funny:

[TheCorpulent1]

Ollie's killed before, so the Prometheus thing wasn't a big deal. Call it The Longbow Hunters part 2. :oldrazz:

[hippie_hunter]

She did, because he just took off with Hal without saying a word to her.
She left him because he killed Prometheus behind her back (and Hal's as well) and then fired a glue arrow at her.

:funny:
It's true, most of Cry for Justice wasn't the worst thing ever written like most people make it out to be......until Roy's arm got cut off. Then it became the worst thing ever written :o

And the worst part is that I read Rise of Arsenal #1 which showed how Roy lost his arm. And then the next comic I read was the Siege tie-in to Thunderbolts where U.S.Agent lost his arm. I literally did a Cartman styled "The ****?"

[hippie_hunter]

Ollie's killed before, so the Prometheus thing wasn't a big deal. Call it The Longbow Hunters part 2. :oldrazz:

Also Ollie is a very flawed man compared to the beacons of "perfection" that Batman and Superman portray.

If it were someone like Batman or Superman who killed Prometheus in cold blood, I would be pissed. But Ollie, a flawed, often hypocritical man, who has killed before several times, I'm not going to be bothered by that.

But Ollie, a flawed, often hypocritical man, who has killed before several times, I'm not going to be bothered by that.I guess so. Someone has to break the "one rule" anyway. So Ollie is currently running from the law and other superheroes, right?

I havent read it, but that story where he's hiding in the forest in Star City sounds interesting. Do you guys recommend it?

[hippie_hunter]

The superhero community isn't chasing Ollie anymore after Ollie gave up and surrendered. He was put on trial and found not guilty due to the jury agreeing that Prometheus deserved to die despite the fact that he was clearly guilty of murdering him in cold blood. The judge slightly overturned that sentence by finding him guilty but his punishment was banishing him from Star City. He's a free man as long as he isn't in Star City.

However, Ollie continues to live in Star City as a Robin Hood type of hero living in the forest that Deadman created with the White Lantern Ring. But law enforcement really wasn't all that concerned with him due to the fact that Star City was in chaos due to rising crime rates, homelessness, poverty, etc. created by Prometheus' destruction. Commissioner Nudocera, Ollie's biggest opponent in the Star City government, was assassinated. And now security is being taken care of by Queen Industries, his former company and Ollie has to deal with them now like when they attempted to hunt him down in the forest.

Overall, I've been liking the new direction for Green Arrow. Crappiness of Cry for Justice aside, it has created a rather interesting direction for Ollie.

[TheCorpulent1]

It's refreshing to know that they at least had Ollie stand trial for it. At Marvel, it would've just been brushed under the rug or, if it were Wolverine, applauded. Heroes who don't kill are a very rare exception over there rather than the rule. It bugs me.

And the reason why Ollie surrendered was because Mia became bloodthirsty as well and wanted to kill the Electrocutioner. He saw the error of his ways and that he was hurting Dinah, Mia, Connor, and Hal in the process. And it's why he tried to stop Roy from killing the Electrocutioner.

And even if you re found guilty the punishment is banishment? I can believe that a man can fly and shoot lasers out of his eyes, but this ****'s crazy!

[hippie_hunter]

So you can get off with murder if the victim deserves it? And even if you re found guilty the punishment is banishment? I can believe that a man can fly and shoot lasers out of his eyes, but this ****'s crazy!

The reason why he got off easy was because the trial was set in Star City which was still reeling from Prometheus' attack and the jury was filled with people affected by it. The jury knew that Ollie was guilty, even Ollie said he should have been found guilty. But because they were angry about what happened to their own home, they found themselves agreeing with what Ollie did. It's exactly like what happened in Batman & Robin #14 where the cops clearly heard that the Joker was being beaten by Damian and crying for help, but did nothing because of all the evil the Joker has done.

The judge slightly overruled it because a crime was clearly committed but understood why the jury ruled not guilty because of what happened to Star City. He saw Ollie as trouble and dangerous. So he gave Ollie 24 hours to leave Star City and if he ever stepped foot in the city again as either Oliver Queen or Green Arrow he would be incarcerated for as long as possible.

Now let's see him give Connor the spanking he deserves for killing that dragon dude in his last mini-series. ;)

In B&R it was just cops turning a blind eye at a beating because nobody would know about it or care. It wasnt in a courtroom.

So, shouldnt the judge overrule the jury and throw him in jail instead of loading a murderer to some other city?

[Anubis]

Such things have actually happened. Couldn't tell you how many battered wives got off for killing their husbands. Often times when a self defense argument couldn't possibly be used.

[Mr. Earle]

There has to be a reason, like self defense, temporary insanity, or whatever. When you plan, seek and murder the guy, its murder 1.

[Anubis]

Yet, when it comes down to a jury, they can, and have let people go knowing that they did the crime.

The judge partially overruled the jury because Ollie clearly was guilty. But he understood why Ollie did it and why the jury found him not guilty so he let him get off light.

[Mystirious]

Pfft Prometheus is a supervillain he will be back from the dead in a year and a half :awesome:

[TheCorpulent1]

I always wondered how that would affect law in the comic universes. If someone's on death row for murdering a superhero, and then that superhero comes back and is perfectly fine, what does that mean for the guy on death row? :huh:

If DC do a new Manhunter comic book that would be a neat story

http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2010/09/23/hed-jt-krul-talks-with-the-teen-titans/

Hey everyone, J.T. Krul here. I wanted to come by and say a few words about the premiere of my Teen Titans run starting in October. Now, I was going to talk about what a great honor it is to have the chance to work with such characters. For me, the Teen Titans are one of the top-tier teams in all of comics. I had plenty to say about what working with Nicola Scott is like - maybe even talk Alex Segura into teasing some new art…Alex?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v343/wallyflash/A.jpg

Okay, did you see that? Yes? No? Well, trust me - Nicola was meant to draw this book and she’s turning in the best work of her career. But to really get you pumped, you don’t want to talk to me. You want to hear from the people who really make the book what it is. So how about a word from one of the Titans themselves.

Take it away, Beast Boy:

Beast Boy: Thanks, T.J.

JT: That’s JT.

Beast Boy: Whatever.

JT: You’re not still mad at me for all that Black Lantern Terra stuff, are you?

Beast Boy: Not at all. I loved getting my heart almost ripped out - again. Is my sarcasm coming through in print?

JT: But you didn’t die. You’re still on the Titans.

Beast Boy: Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

JT: You’re welcome, Gar.

Beast Boy: Serious? You’re not getting the sarcasm at all, huh?

JT: Not really. You’re too nice for sarcasm.

Beast Boy: I see. I’m the pushover, huh? Mr. Comic Relief? Look at me everyone - I’m the goofball.

JT: I didn’t say that.

Beast Boy: Because I have more to offer than laughs.

JT: Gar, we can talk about this later. I brought you here to talk about the new run on Teen Titans.

Beast Boy: Don’t worry about me. Unlike some people, I’m a professional.

Beast Boy: Hey everyone! Since I’m the Titan with the most experience in front of the camera, we thought I should represent the team. Just a quick note: Space Trek 2022 is coming out on Blu-Ray next year, so look for it.

Beast Boy: Anyway, I’ve been with the Titans longer than anyone on the new roster, and I’ve never seen a more powerful and dynamic group in my life. I mean - Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Superboy, Raven, Ravager. It’s going to be a great time to be a Titans fan - we got brand new villains, a brand new Titan, and big plans all leading up to Issue #100 and beyond.

Beast Boy: So - get ready, because it’s going to be -

Damian: Logan, what are you doing?

Beast Boy: Not now, I’m talking.

Damian: Yes, I noticed you didn’t mention me on the roster.

Beast Boy: Sorry. Must have been an oversight.

Damian: You making fun of my height? Because I could slice a couple of inches off your top if you’d like.

JT: Put the sword down, Damian.

Damian: You’re not the boss of me, Krul.

Beast Boy: I told you bringing him around was a bad idea.

JT: All great Titan teams had a Robin.

Damian: Maybe I should just form my own Titans team.

JT: Sorry everybody. This seemed like a good idea at the time.

Damian: Wonder what Jason Todd is up to.

JT: Oh, boy. I don’t like where this is headed.

SFX: BZZZ.

Damian: What’s that? Alarm to tell you it’s Logan’s feeding time?

Beast Boy: Stuff it, Damian.

JT: No. I’m getting a text.

Beast Boy: From who?

JT: Green Arrow.

Damian: What’s he want?

JT: It says: “when you’re done babysitting the kiddies, we’ve still got to deal with Black Arrow.”

JT: I should go.

I have high hopes for J.T. Krul's run on Teen Titans :woot:

[Mystirious]

Ha ha ha Damian cannot be taken anywhere :awesome:

[Nightwing]

That was great.

[Assassin]

i think i'm the only one that hasn't dropped this yet, waiting for it to pick up again and i think i'm gonna drop it before JT Krul lol

[Mr. Earle]

Damian: Maybe I should just form my own Titans team.

JT: Sorry everybody. This seemed like a good idea at the time.

Damian: Wonder what Jason Todd is up to.Damian would never side with Jason as seen in B&R. Krull should get his facts straight.

[Ultimate_Superman]

i think i'm the only one that hasn't dropped this yet, waiting for it to pick up again and i think i'm gonna drop it before JT Krul lol
I'm dropping the book after Superboy's comic comes out. The only reason why I picked up the book was for Superboy but not the he is getting his own series and Wonder Girl is suppose to be a regular in it I have no need for Titans.

[BrianWilly]

You people...:dry:

[TheCorpulent1]

If DC do a new Manhunter comic book that would be a neat story

Roy Harper never goes anywhere without his dead cat weapon :up:

And thats terrible :dry:

[Charlie Boy]

Oh that's just amazing.

[Mystirious]

Oh that's just amazing.

Roy is still trying to work out how to fire dead cats at people with his bow

[Mr. Earle]

AhahahahahaHAHA (http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/files/2010/10/sg57_03.jpg)

:lmao:

So, where is that from?

:lmao:

That is AMAZING! Good work.

[Mystirious]

That poor cat

[Iron Man]

Haha, that's ingenious. And Green Arrow still thinks that quivers are just for arrows, what a loser.

[Mr. Earle]

Damian as a cat person needs to teach him a lesson!

[Mystirious]

Arsenal is going to get Taffyed by Dex-Star :dry:

[GlasgowBat]

So I'm going to be picking up Teen Titans now that krul is taking over. Not for Krul, specifically, but Since Damian first popped up i've been desperate to see how he'd interact with the Teen Titans.

So that'll be good.

[Mr. Earle]

So I'm going to be picking up Teen Titans now that krul is taking over. Not for Krul, specifically, but Since Damian first popped up i've been desperate to see how he'd interact with the Teen Titans.

I'll be picking it up for the same reason. While i'd like to see him troll and annoy them, i hope that there's more to it than that.

[GlasgowBat]

Ah for sure man. He'll add a bit of conflict to a fairly tight group of friends( Rose notwithstanding) but hopefully, given time, it will further his development as well.

I can see him insulting and ridiculing them constantly, but protective at the same time. Particularly over-protective in a combat situation, that could be funny, especially considering that he really has no reason to be.

Do not think I will be picking up Krul's run

The team and the art look fab but I think Krul is a lame choice to write the comic book

[GlasgowBat]

Green Arrow is pretty good.

[TheCorpulent1]

I think Krul could potentially do a good job, but Cassie still seems to be a b****, plus I hate Ravager and Damian a whole lot. I've tried the last couple writers' takes on the Titans for a few issues each and, frankly, I'm just tired of giving the series more chances at this point unless absolutely everything looks perfect.

[Anubis]

Krul's name sounds like a bronze age despot.

[TheCorpulent1]

If I were him, I'd drop the initials and just call myself "Krul." Possibly followed by "the Tormenter" or something equally awesometastic.

[Mr. Earle]

Didnt he write Rise of Arsenal? Krul the cat taffier!

[Charlie Boy]

That title belongs to Roy.

[Mystirious]

And that's terrible :dry:

[hippie_hunter]

Do not think I will be picking up Krul's run

How is he a lame choice? His take on the Titans so far has been pretty damn good with Blackest Night and he's really written only one bad story (take a guess which one :awesome:).

[Mystirious]

But that one was so bad

[BrianWilly]

Green Arrow is boring and unrelatable. Blackest Night: Titans was mediocre and melodramatic. Krul's run on the Titans before that -- while perfectly readable and harmless at best -- featured a completely different cast of characters than the current Teen Titans and was, at worst, basically a waste of an entire year of the franchise with issue after issue of "WHO WILL LEAVE THE TITANS NEXT? IS IT STARFIRE? IS IT CYBORG??"

No offense, but I have no idea why people expect Krul to save this broken series other than pure wishful thinking. Even if Krul's resume wasn't as middling as it is, Teen Titans has still become one of DC's worst books. I almost wouldn't wish Teen Titans on DC's best writers, much less one of its most unimpressive.

[Mystirious]

Green Arrow is pretty darn boring and unimpressive

Do not think that the Teen Titans comic book can be saved :csad:

At least the art will look pretty :awesome:

[GlasgowBat]

Damian will rescue Teen Titans.


Yup.

[Mystirious]

Damian will rescue Teen Titans.


Yup.

Ha ha I :hrt: Damian but I am not sure he will

[Anubis]

I think the book needs to die for a couple of years.

[Mystirious]

I do not want it to die because I really dig the Teen Titans team

But the comic book is so lame right now :(

Still better than Titans

[TheCorpulent1]

I think the book needs to die for a couple of years.
That's what I was thinking. Just take 'em off the table for a while and then relaunch them properly. Ravager can stay the f*** home for it, although they probably would want to install Damian since he's the kid who's currently being called "Robin." I could bear him with a decent writer and a direction that's actually more interesting than "team shake-up, random adventures, something with Raven, rinse, repeat." :o

[flash13]

Kill Superboy again and this book will become way better.

[BrianWilly]

http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-siren.gif Hey guys I'm about to do that hella annoying thing where you quote someone but change something about that quote and say "fixed." http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-siren.gif Okay here I go:
Kill Ravager and this book will become way better.Fixed.

[Anubis]

Did they screw up Superboy or is he just crazy?

Why wouldn't you wish it on a good writer?

It's a comic, not a curse. A good writer with a good creative direction could turn it around in an instant.

[Assassin]

Ravager was the best thing in Teen Titans since OYL. That's not saying much though.

[BrianWilly]

It's a comic, not a curse.Oh but see that's where we disagree. :oldrazz:

[Assassin]

so what happened to Blue Beetle?

[fifthfiend]

Oh but see that's where we disagree. :oldrazz:

Any hypothetical good writer would probably crash headfirst into the editorial direction for the comic which has kept it steadfastly between "slightly worse than mediocre" and "****ing terrible".

Damian will rescue Teen Titans.

They already have one Ravager.

[Mr. Earle]

They already have one Ravager.
Its the Titans. From now on they'll have spares in case someone dies (which happens all the time). :woot:

[fifthfiend]

If there were ever a Damien/Ravager idea I could get behind it's the idea of there being bunches of disposable spares of them lying around for when the two of them (ideally very frequently) die.

[fifthfiend]

"Welp Ravager fell off a cliff, better unthaw another one"

"Oops looks like Damien caught on fire, go fish one out of the vat"

"Oh Ravager shoved a sword through her own face (again), pull a spare one off the pile"

"Damien got on the wrong end of Superboy's fist, someone go put a quarter in the Damiens machine"

[Charlie Boy]

Did they screw up Superboy or is he just crazy?

Neither, Superboy's still cool.

[hippie_hunter]

so what happened to Blue Beetle?

He joined the former JLI.
