Teen Titans/Titans Discussion Thread

[sinewave]

So, is Mr. Martian an established character? I've never heard of her before. Is she a former Titans member?

[Darthphere]

I'd bet shes new or some silver age character long forgotten.

[Knives122]

[quote=GoldenAgeHero]i decided to cut a panel

heres a page i scanned.

Welp, I think I may want to start buying these now.............................

[hippie_hunter]

Going by these pictures, I'd say that third member is called the Love Triangle.
Or is it a square, because Rose is also interested in Tim. :eek:

So Tim wants Cassie and Cassie wants Tim

But Rose wants Tim and Eddie wants Rose and Rose would like to have some action with Eddie :eek:

[sinewave]

[hippie_hunter]

Poor Cyborg, nobody loves him :(

[LadyVader]

This is getting too Melrose Place for my tastes. :)

[Darthphere]

****, cant people wait at least a week for posting spoiler pages, damn.

[sinewave]

Poor Cyborg, nobody loves him :(

i'm sure he's got some kind of suction attachment for those lonely moments. poor guy.

[Hellstormer]

****, cant people wait at least a week for posting spoiler pages, damn.
Yea really guys, dumbasses

[RAMORE]

I wonder if those two having a romantic encounter will end up like Superboy and Batgirl. Except this time Diana confronts Bruce and tells him to keep Tim away from her.


DAMNIT:mad: But why?

[RAMORE]

Holy s***! now we KNOW conner aint comin' back.


Damnit i can't see it cause my computer is messed up somebody explain it to me.:(

[TheCorpulent1]

Jesus. That's one more nail in the Teen Titans coffin for me. I'll be dropping it in another issue or two if Johns doesn't start writing good stories again.

[sethcohen]

hey GAH, way to run home like a 5 year old and post the FINAL PAGES before anyone else has a chance to go to the store, therefore ruining it for everyone
d*ck

[Morg]

Let's not post any pics yet since you can't hide those in spoilers tag, some people haven't got that issue yet

[Anubis]

you have to have at least a week's grace period before you can go spoiling everything. Thanks GAH!

[sethcohen]

he doesnt care... he only cares about himself and rubbing it in everyones faces that he got what he wanted...

[Darthphere]

you have to have at least a week's grace period before you can go spoiling everything. Thanks GAH!


Considering most people dont egt their comics til today due to shipping delays. DAMNIT!

[Darthphere]

Welp, I think I may want to start buying these now.............................


Please unquote those pics please, for the children?:( :up:

[Kevin]

i guess im the only one happy with GAH. i can no longer buy comics (broke as hell) so this is as close as it gets to buying. thanx GAH

[Darthphere]

Your name is filled with irony then.

[Kevin]

lmao

[Green Lantern]

He could have done it more considerately. Because of the holiday, most shops didn't even get their books till today, so very few of us have had the oppurtunity to read it yet. By posting the end of the issue in image tags he ruins the read for the rest of us. He could have posted links to the pictures and warned that they were major spoilers for the end of the issue.

[Kevin]

^you know what? that's true. GAH, you should use links.

[TheCorpulent1]

But... that would've been considerate. This is GAH we're talking about. Seriously... :confused:

[Kevin]

hey, i always thought GAH was kool.

[TheCorpulent1]

You probably haven't been here long enough, then. :o

[Green Lantern]

...Can I get some of what you're smoking?

[TheCorpulent1]

Sure, it's oregano.

[Darthphere]

Parsley.

[sethcohen]

GAH should stop using our air too, but he doesnt do that either...

[sethcohen]

i thought it was pencil shavings...

[Darthphere]

I LOVE IT! Sethcohen is as cranky as the rest of us!

[TheCorpulent1]

It's actually ground glass. I woke up feeling masochistic today.

[sethcohen]

"one of us! one of us!..."

[GoldenAgeHero]

your welcome everyone. next time I'll make sure to give a damn.

[Darthphere]

your welcome everyone. next time I'll make sure to give a damn.


****ing idiot.

I LOVE IT! Sethcohen is as cranky as the rest of us!

you want to talk about cranky?!? i'm fasting from booze, have a raging headache and this dips#!t at work will not stop needling me!!! sorry, i had to get that off my chest. yeah, GAH is one of the biggest morons on this board.

[GoldenAgeHero]

no problem, bro.

[Darthphere]

Seriously GAH, whats your problem? Sometimes you act pretty cool and im like "GAH isnt so bad" and then you do stuff like this on purpose because you know it will piss people off and not only that, we give you all this **** about, Morg a mod tells you to not post them and you become an even bigger ******* by putting it in your avatar. Damn, whats your deal?

know what the sad thing is... i agree... when i first got here and would see everyone ragging on GAH, id be like, "why? he seems ok... maybe a lil standoffish but ok..." now i see why...

since we're ragging on GAH, and he totally deserves it for posting those page pics today, i've noticed that the guy never, EVER posts anything remotely intelligent or interesting. aside from lord siva, cass and jonty, i'd say he talks out of his ass more than anyone on the hype. man, this is really improving my mood. :)

i had put them in my avatar way before morg came into this. i put them in when i posted the pictures which was around 2 am or something. and i would'nt have had posted thiese pics if i knew i was going to get much of a response. comicboy nor lady vader complained. so now im just taking everything with a grain of salt and basically not giving a damn.

[Darthphere]

Why cant you just man-up and say, sorry guys I messed up, wont happen again? Is it that ****ing hard?

[Green Lantern]

Sure, it's oregano.I was talking to comicboy :o

[GoldenAgeHero]

you know i actually would, but since everyone has been a ***** about it, I'm not going to. ain't going to apoligize to people who act as if i killed thier parents.

[Hellstormer]

Hey why don't we just sit down relax and light up some of that oregano? :p

[Darthphere]

you know i actually would, but since everyone has been a ***** about it, I'm not going to. ain't going to apoligize to people who act as if i killed thier parents.


No you wouldnt it, and thats why youll always be an ass.

Nice sig.:rolleyes:

[GoldenAgeHero]

thanks for telling me what i would've/ would'nt do.


yeah i thought the sig would be a nice touch. :up:

[Darthphere]

Yeah, seriously man youre something else.

[GoldenAgeHero]

an ass, maybe? i think it fits me very well.


I'll admit tho, im enjoying this whole thing.

[Darthphere]

Ok GAH, seriously, when you started scanning those pages and putting them up, didnt you once think, hey this is a bad idea considering most people wont even get their comics until Thursday like any rationale human being wouldve done?

[DraconicLord]

I usually get my Wed - Not helping I know, just sayin

[GoldenAgeHero]

Ref: Teen Titans Issue # 37.

"That wasn't really a surprise."

So I suppose their first child will be called "Conner".

[Fledermaus]

I think that was the first time Robin ever actually "liked" kissing a girl. Every other time he always had a WTF-type look on his face. With Robins newfound P.I.M.P. status, here's a pro/con list for a possible relationship with Cassie.

PROS-Losing your virginity to f**kin' WONDER girl, Cassie can probably hold her breath a long time. Would probably make Bats proud, possible 3-way with Donna Troy.
CONS- Having to follow-up the Super f**k that Conner gave her, Super-sloppy seconds, she was his best friends girl, would probably piss off Wonder Woman, she would probably "accidently" call Tim, Conner, possible 3-way with a Bizzaro Conner.

It's pretty much up in the air here.

I guess following up after Superboy would be a bit of a challenge but I heard Conner isn't really the boy of steel whee it counts ;)

[Darthphere]

You guys realize there isnt going to be any relationship between the two.

[Fledermaus]

I agree, but GAH put it best when he said, "Now that Superboy is dead, Robin should get some of that Wonder pu**y." But then things would get weird, like when you have drunk sex with a co-worker.

[Green Lantern]

GAH NEVER put ANYTHING best...

[sinewave]

Isn't it possible that Tim already lost his virginity to Stephanie Brown? C'mon, you know she was good to go.

[sinewave]

GAH NEVER put ANYTHING best...

truer words have never been spoken.

[Darthphere]

Sig worthy.

[Green Lantern]

Yet it's not in yours :mad:

My sig is a testament to my greatness, I wont be changing it.

Yeah, she was, but he didn't seem to be. Observe:
http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f78/Sam655321/35.jpg

Hell, he even turned down a neglagie - wearing Ariana. Maybe someone over at DC reads their message boards and decided to quell the "Tim is gay" speculation.

yeah, but that's just one pic. i've seen plenty of pics of them making out, mutually, in the comics while they were dating. i figure they had to have had sex at some point in their relationship before she went teets up.

MISS MARTIAN

[Darthphere]

Yeah we saw a completed version of it.

[Trigger]

Has anything been said on Miss Martian's backstory? I haven't been keeping up with Teen Titans for awhile.

[Anubis]

Could just be that J'onn's found his feminine side.

[Darthphere]

Its J'onn's long lost cousin.

[Trigger]

Hmmm, I like Anubis's origin better. Cross-dressing martians are funny.

[TheCorpulent1]

Its J'onn's long lost cousin.
Yeah, she was sent to Earth on a ship, but her ship sucked a lot more than J'onn's, so it took like 3 times as long to get here. Really, she's 5,062 years old. The cute teenager look is just for show.

MISS MARTIAN

Did anyone read Brave New World?
This probably has to do with the two medallions.

[The Flash!]

Why did you post that?

Cause it's one of may favorite pages from the book. I'm liking Ravager a lot. :up:

I can take it down if you'd like. :)

[Trigger]

No, no. I was just curious. You didn't say anything in the post so I was curious.

[The Flash!]

No, no. I was just curious. You didn't say anything in the post so I was curious.

Oh, ok. I have some other pics from the issue as well. Which I can post. :D

And I was looking at your sig, you play Rose in the RPG's. That's awsome. :up:

[Trigger]

Yes, yes it is. Rose kicks all shades, forms, and types of ass.

[The Flash!]

Yes, yes it is. Rose kicks all shades, forms, and types of ass.

And I agree 100%. :D

[Fledermaus]

Probably, also all the Titans behind her have turned against the Titans at one time or another. BUM BUM BUM!

[Trigger]

Good thinking. That never crossed my mind.

[Speedball]

Probably, also all the Titans behind her have turned against the Titans at one time or another. BUM BUM BUM!
I just noticed that too, they have also died at least once as well.
So it she is either a traitor, or she is going to die.

[Trigger]

Hopefully be a traitor. That'd make for a good fight.

[TimDrake64x]

hey ive been out for awhile, so can anyone tell me what is going on in the bringing back of superboy front?

[Knives122]

Well Tim gets a tempter tantrun and screws up his cave, then Cassie finds it, turns into WonderWhore and then flies off.

I don't think it's going to happen now......

[GoldenAgeHero]

they're not going to. how does she turn into wonderwhore? conner has been dead for over a year. deal with it.

Anyone else notice the lack of sleeves on the girl martian is the pic (in the fully covered one she has more clothing on)? I guess someone didn't like the idea of a teenage girl running around with only a big "X" covering her chest...even if she is a shapeshifting alien.

[onceasaint]

Man all the bad girls in my highschool ever did was smoke... and maybe the handcuff deal, but you never had to worried if their eye socket was filled with kryptonite or if they would kill you for money. :(

Stupid real world...

Yeah, but the kind of bad girl (the poke your own eye out to be more like daddy kind bad girl) we're talking about here wouldn't be allowed to go to highschool...she'd be given a nice padded cell though.

[Anubis]

Nothings sexier than a straight jacket and a padded cell.

[onceasaint]

Yeah, but the kind of bad girl (the poke your own eye out to be more like daddy kind bad girl) we're talking about here wouldn't be allowed to go to highschool...she'd be given a nice padded cell though.

That's what makes it so sexy.

Besides, if you go to her place you don't have as many bruises to explain to your parents (cause of the padding) and all the other crazies are screaming... so no one minds you getting noisy.

I think its worth the risk. :up:

[TheCorpulent1]

I didn't understand the argument between Cassie and Tim. It "wouldn't really be Conner"? Practically everybody they know has been resurrected at some point, and they're all pretty much fine. Plus, they know a guy who can re-graft souls into bodies. :confused:

[Artistsean]

Possible Spoiler!

Hey, I just saw a recent cover of Teen Titans on the internet.
I had Superboy, bald with an L on his chest,
Jerico, Tara, Raven with four eyes.
and then centered in front of them all was a female version of Martian Manhunter, it said she was Miss Martian.

Is this real?

[Green Lantern]

Yeah we've been discussing this for a few days :o

kid eternity cant bring them back to life tho. his ability is to call upon the dead for assistance with thier soul intact, not bring them back to life. read issue TT#31.

[onceasaint]

Ill just wait for four heros mysteriously all claiming to be the boy of steel, then watch Conner come back to life with spiffy new threads and a mullet. :up:

[TimDrake64x]

^lol nice

[onceasaint]

I was very sad when Hal and Ollie came back without mullets, I wanted it to be a standard thing. Like a mark of shame for writing a character back. A law of balances thing. Ok, you can bring him back, but he has to have a mullet for a while.

[TheCorpulent1]

I did read #31. He does a lot more than bring the dead back to life in there. He banishes the soulless bodies Brother Blood resurrected, and he tells the Titans that their dead friends' souls were already at rest. Clearly he has some kind of contact with souls, and since he can bring the bodies and souls of dead people back for assistance, he could probably return Conner's soul (which I very much doubt is at rest) to a new body.

Anyway, he was just the first name that came to mind. The fact is, the Titans and all the other heroes know people who can put souls back into bodies.

HAHAHAHA... hilarious

[onceasaint]

I stll think the law of mullets should be initiated.

You can bring back anybody you want... but they better be sportin' a mullet.

Like that the other characters can point and laugh.

Seems like the right punishment to me.

[Artistsean]

Maybe mullets are fun to draw, in Batman the animated series and Superman animated series, and JLU, there were lots of mullets. Maybe they are fun or easy to draw for some reason.

[onceasaint]

I liked Nightwing's mullet in the BTAS.

I think he even had it in that brief cameo on JLU.

[supes_el]

Late but mini reveiw:

This is still my favorite title. The ending of this was a shocker and the story was good also. The whole angle with Doom Patrol was interesting. SPOILER: (highlight to view)

Tim and Cassie kissed! Then Cassie left crying. She found out about Tim trying to clone Conner. Great moment


Back on discussion: I think if Tim does manage to clone Conner, Cassie will go to the Greek Gods...wait...no more Themyscira ...The Titans will get Raven to try to make Conner, Conner...Either that or they will find another way...It will be done in the end :)

[Hellstormer]

O and if John is pretending to be a girl Martian it wouldn't be the first time.

The mullet rule should be real

[onceasaint]

Well thats another vote for the Law of Mullets

And is it wrong that I was a little aroused by that picture of MM?

[Knives122]

Just b/c Superman came back with a mullet doesn't mean everone has to.

What if right before they come back there's a little booth on whether or not they want to have a mullet.

Already spoiled. And even if it wasn't YOU didn't cover it up either. If your intent is really to NOT spoil it use spoiler tags [ spoiler][/spoiler]. Otherwise you'll just get flamed like the other moron that even posted pics and spoiled it.

[onceasaint]

Its not just because Superman had one, its a punishment. Like a scarlet letter. If youre gonna kill off a character and make a big deal out of it, just to bring them back later, there should be a cost. Keeps the scales balanced. Ok, he can come back, but everyone has to accept that this was stupid, so he/she gets a mullet.

Frizzy hair maybe...

It has to be something involving hair. A costume change isnt enough. You can grit your teeth over costume changes, but a stupid hair cut will itch like when a piece of fiberglass gets under your skin. It'll bug you to no end till you just snap and go "YOU LOOK STUPID! STUPID STUPID STUPID! :mad:"

Oh have an Austin Powers moment "mully mully MULLLLLEETT!!!"

They should be given those jamaican braids with the beads at the end.:o

[BrianWilly]

If bringing someone back from the dead was as easy as calling up your friends and throwing a coup, everyone would be doing it.

Just because Kid Eternity can summon souls doesn't mean that he will. And he won't. Remember the whole "life and death has lost its meaning, doorway got jammed with silly putty or something" deal? Everyone coming back from the dead was what got him into that mess in the first place. With magic being as wacky as it [supposedly] is right now, I'll bet no mystical character in the world is going to attempt a resurrection, especially since magic is not science and does not follow rational step-by-step procedures. And we know Wonder Girl has already tried the mystical venue for bringing back Conner throughout the past year; obviously, it didn't work then either.

Did season 6 of Buffy teach us nothing??http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g149/jjbstaff/doc.gif

Maybe those stupid cornrows every woman seems to get when shes on vacation. They dont look good on every woman, I dont know what makes them think it does. Its like when a girl breaks up with a guy and decides to reinvent herself. The first thing they do is chop off their hair. Then they cry and freak out when they realize what they did, but after a few days they'll act like its exactly what they wanted.

Mullets for the men.
Cornrows for the women.
Minature American flags for everyone else!

So the Titans should not make a deal with a musical-inducing demon then?

I was so looking forward to Once More With Titans

[Kevin]

hey, i LOVED superman's hair when he came back from the dead. it's so 90's. and seriously, conner is not coming back. ever, maybe. no time soon for sure.

[onceasaint]

Im just saying the mullet should have a purpose in the DCU, like the Spectre, it needs a host.

[Fledermaus]

I'm not sure why I used spoiler tags since all you have to do is go to the website. But since everybody's b**chin' about spoilers.Well according to DCcomics.com:
In WEEK 13, featuring art by Todd Nauck and Marlo Alquiza, it's the resurrection of Sue Dibny! But are the Elongated Man's ex-teammates here to help, or hurt? Plus, the origin of Elongated Man by Mark Waid and Kevin Nowlan!

I got it in check.

Did season 6 of Buffy teach us nothing??http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g149/jjbstaff/doc.gifWell Buffy came back fine she was just ripped out of heaven no big deal, it was when Dawn tried to bring Joyce back things got really screwy. A musical Teen Titans would be cool. Robin could do a death metal song talking about losing his best friend and then hitting on his girlfriend.

[onceasaint]

I just have this horrible imagine in my head of all the Titans holding hands singing "Where do we go from here"

[Hellstormer]

I get an image of Rose and Cassie doing the song Terra did :D

[Knives122]

The Dead song?

[onceasaint]

If Rose didnt hate Cassie so much, I bet she would, even without demon influence.

[supes_el]

He did say highlight to read, so obviously he intended to use spoiler tags, he probably just messed up. Im sure he'll fix it in a bit.

Thanks onceasaint....you da man
Fixed it by the way, i'll be more carefull next time :)

It happens to everyone man. Sometimes your typing a post and forget something in the rush. Luckily it wasnt a huge spoiler and enough time has passed.

Now you know, and knowing is half the battle. :up:
(the other half is stabbing people which is cool)

Robins a pimp plain and simple. Which super female sidekicked hasnt he banged. I mean hell if he becomes batman i swear he'll probably bang every female superhero before dinner.

Hope Robins not too pimp to remember protection with Speedy.

As for Supergirl, Im sure she's gonna be the town bicycle in no time at all.

[the_ultimate_evil]

Speedy and Supergirl :o


supergirls to busy bumping uglys with the kal-el of kandor, who i still think is actaully ultraman

[sethcohen]

which goes to prove how much of a hussie she is because isnt the current cannon version of ultraman E3 clark? technically her cousin?

[Green Lantern]

No its Morrison's Earth Two Ultraman I think :confused: I don't remember if that was Kal-El or not

[sethcohen]

i thought after IC it was E3 kal el... now that you mention morrison though, that gives me a fantastic idea... DC should kill her off and let morrison do it... oh joy and rapture that would be a gruesome biblical-style death dante would be proud of...

[Tropico]

Ultraman is a different dude that gets powers from kryptonite, he's not an alternate Clark. Like it's been mentioned before, it's very possible that he's a remnant from the Superman/Batman story since Saturn Queen was there and was being called "mother".

[GoldenAgeHero]

Hey everyone,

First of: Eddie, Tony, Jeanine and Kevin rule. They are my partners on this book and without them it wouldn't be the book it is. I couldn't be more happy with how TEEN TITANS is turning out.

In the next arc, more than one new member will be joining the team. Who they are and why will be a mystery. When? In the TITANS AROUND THE WORLD arc. Starting with issue #38. You'll see glimpses, and much more on a handful, of the members from the missing 52 weeks during the arc.

Despite the loss of Conner (choke) and Bart (sigh) from the team, Tony and Eddie and I wanted to take a risk. We wanted to try and do something totally DIFFERENT and NEW, create NEW characters and update ones few have heard of. For a long time, I think some people saw our new TEEN TITANS book as being an amalgam of NEW TEEN TITANS and YOUNG JUSTICE. I think we're finally out of the shadow and I think with all of the mythology we're laying, the numerous storylines and members that are being created, the book has come into its own completely.

It's really amazing to think when I first got offered TEEN TITANS everyone said "Why do it? It's been cancelled twice!" More than three years later, we're still one of DC's highest selling books. Our sales have been as solid as they've been since we launched. I thank all the readers for that and for letting us add what we can to the Titans world. I'm super psyched for everyone to see what we've got coming up next: TITANS AROUND THE WORLD, the mystery of KID DEVIL, the power of ZATARA, the strangeness of MISS MARTIAN, the fears of RAVAGER, the troubles between ROBIN and WONDER GIRL, the lost friend, the new enemy, the new member, the old member, BATGIRL, KID DEVIL's arch enemy, the TITANS EAST, the other TOWER, the loud girl with the crush on CYBORG, the missing "book" and plenty of insanity.

Tony and I were talking tonight about how the discussion has really been focused on the characters and what they're going through, how they're dealing, and that's the goal. Making these characters come to life. Thanks for coming with us on this crazy ride OYL.

Geoff

Batgirl?!?

[spiderbob]

Batgirl?!?

One of my first reactions to reading it as well (nice find by the way GAH). I'm curious if it'll be Cassandra Cain or someone new or just some kind of flash back/rememberance thingy by Robin. And if it is Cass, I wonder if they'll have her be in character, or continue with the butchered characterization that we recently saw in Robin's solo title *shudders*.

Anyways, sounds like we got a lot to look forward to in the coming arc, though I've got to admit, I still prefer Ravager over Wonder Girl in terms of who should be with Robin. Well, guess we'll just have to wait and see.

[TheCorpulent1]

Damn it, right when I was about to drop Teen Titans. Maybe I'll just keep tabs on what's going on until Batgirl appears, though.

Also, if the current arc is Teen Titans "coming into its own," I sincerely wish it had just stayed in the shadow of New Teen Titans and Young Justice. It worked a lot better there.

[The Leaguer]

I can't wait for Batgirl. Hopefully she stops by just long enough to kick Ravager's ass again and then is like, "f*** this team, I you're holding me back" and then leaves. Then she heads off into the world, but in the meantime, Clayface sees her absence as an opportunity to pose as her and try to ruin her name.

That's how it happens in my head.

[TheCorpulent1]

Batgirl kicking Ravager's ass again would be nice. :up:

[Darthphere]

Batgirl kicking anybodies ass for the good guys is nice.

[Tropico]

Is she holding herself back or are the other's holding her back?:confused:

[Hellstormer]

That article makes me think of the Teen Titans cartoon the way he describes whats gonna happen, like many of you I am excited about Batgirl, more info on Kid Devil will be cool but I still wanna see Lagoon Boy in the team. Where the hell did he disapear to? We need him back.:( :up:


Batgirl kicking Ravager's ass again would be nice. :up:
What if Ravanger is the new Batgirl?:eek:

[onceasaint]

As long as Ravenger is in her bikini and covered in oil when Batgirl kicks her ass, then Im all for it...

something about a girl with an eye patch :up:

[Darthphere]

Batman would never allow it, he doesnt trust Huntress for god's sake.

[onceasaint]

Batman would drag Huntress home by her ear or better yet, have Alfred do it.

[Hellstormer]

As long as Ravenger is in her bikini and covered in oil when Batgirl kicks her ass, then Im all for it...

something about a girl with an eye patch :up:
:D and maybe add a kiddie pool filled with jello :D

Darthphere makes a point...I guess

[onceasaint]

I hope Rose does something cool soon. We've got the sex appeal covered. Now all she has to do is own somebody really good.

[Darthphere]

Probably wont happen until 7 issues from now when Johns is done introducing new characters.

[onceasaint]

They better be interesting characters... -grumbles-

[Hellstormer]

Well we know Zattarra, probaly Offspring. And Risk, Prysm, and Aquagirl maybe joining the ranks soon. I wonder if Mary Marvel is still alive?

[Tropico]

I would surmise so, but she'll probably be busy in The Trials of Shazam mini.

[onceasaint]

Well we know Zattarra, probaly Offspring. And Risk, Prysm, and Aquagirl maybe joining the ranks soon. I wonder if Mary Marvel is still alive?

I really do want to see what Offspring can do on the team. Besides, they could use a little comic relief.

[Kevin]

does nodody think theres gonna be too many members to worry about? as for ms batgirl cain. this, to me, seems like the higher ups WANTED cassie to be "bad"girl, so im not mad about what she did in robin, also, it's robins title not cassies. i only care about what happenes to tim in his own title.

[Tropico]

I really do want to see what Offspring can do on the team. Besides, they could use a little comic relief.

He wasn't as funny as his dad. Considering he was 10 years old when he appeared in JLA he's easily going to be one of the youngest Titans even if they age him a couple of years. Unlike his Kingdom Come counterpart, Lucas CAN change color and has the same shapeshifting power as his dad.

[onceasaint]

I don't think he has to be as funny as his dad to be lighten up the team a bit. I just dont want to see Marv and Wendy be brought in everytime the book needs a joke. Hell, I dont even want to see them much at all.

I also want to see how the hell Kid Devil got to be the way he is, and if it has anything to do with what the last issue of Shadowpact mentioned about Blue Devil.

[Hellstormer]

He wasn't as funny as his dad. Considering he was 10 years old when he appeared in JLA he's easily going to be one of the youngest Titans even if they age him a couple of years. Unlike his Kingdom Come counterpart, Lucas CAN change color and has the same shapeshifting power as his dad.
Which technically makes him the strongest hero in the DCU beacause PLastic Man was the strongest but he can't change color so since Lucas has that edge he is technically the strongest.

[onceasaint]

What if you freeze him and then throw a bucket of boiling hot water on him? Still powerful?

[Tropico]

What if you freeze him and then throw a bucket of boiling hot water on him? Still powerful?

He survived from the Obsidian age to the present while having his molecules dispersed. The JLA had to use Firestorm (when it was still Ronnie) to hunt the molecules in the bottom of the sea. Even though they didn't have all of the molecules (they had ninety-something %) he was still able to be reconstituted. It was speculated at that point that he's probably immortal.

[Hellstormer]

What if you freeze him and then throw a bucket of boiling hot water on him? Still powerful?
Yes because he can just pull himslef back together. I mean PLastic Man went centuries as tiny molecules and was still able to pull himself together.

EDIT: Damn, Tropico beat me to it:(

[onceasaint]

I like making people rush to post occurences of random things I mention.

[BrianWilly]

Just because Plastic Man is the most immortal hero doesn't make him the most powerful hero. He can still be beaten and taken out of commission in a variety of ways during combat, least of which is the aforementioned freeze method. He can be melted, too, and last I remember drugs will work on him. None of that will kill him but that's different from beating him.

[Lord Blackbolt]

Who the hell is Miss Martian?

[GoldenAgeHero]

i was thinking shes a new character? in the brave in the bold, i could think its MM's missing daughter or soemthing.

[Anubis]

Or it's J'onn doing a little gender bending.

[Hellstormer]

Or it's J'onn doing a little gender bending.
Not like he hasn't done it before ;)

[GoldenAgeHero]

eww. but what reason would j'onn want to do that and join the titans?

[Darthphere]

Hes bored.

[Tropico]

He's horny and weird.:o

[The Leaguer]

So he can take on Wonder Girl's appearance and kiss Robin.

[Darthphere]

Yummers.

[The Leaguer]

I agree. Robin's got a purty mouth.

[Darthphere]

I hear he tastes like Jolly Ranchers.

[The Leaguer]

Watermelon.

[Knives122]

Watermelon is nasty.

[Darthphere]

So is Robin.

[The Leaguer]

He should be stabbed in the jaw.

[Fantastic Fan22]

He should be stabbed in the jaw.

I know just the guy! He's out in the lobby stabbing jaws!

[The Leaguer]

Finally, someone got it.

[bash3366]

Please Bring back Conner:supes:

[Darthphere]

Please Bring back Conner:supes:


Ill try. :confused:

[Harlekin]

I felt #37 felt a little flat with the tension in contrast with the rest of the arc. I'm still looking forward to the next issue, as this team is definitely a favourite of mine. It was still a solid issue, but some aspects didn't sit right with me (like the Tim/Cassie thing, too predictable and too much teen angst for me, I had better expectations of Johns).

[Darthphere]

Same here.

[Hellstormer]

Anyone else think Vic should just leave the Titans and go join the JLA? Casue I want him to.

[Harlekin]

Meh, I think Vic should stick to the Titans, but he better start pulling more weight story-wise in the team. Really show how he's the rock of the Titans.

[Tropico]

Agreed. I don't want Vic to go away. I want Vic to lay the law down and start kicking some asses and getting the team in line. I want Ravager to give him flak and Robin back her up by telling him he wasn't around for a whole year. And then I want Vic to shut them up by telling that it was the "senior" Titans that reformed the team. I dig the teen angst angle, but give us back some of the fun from the start of the title!

[Harlekin]

Like Trop said, I want Vic to kick ass and take names. Really go, "what did you just say, *****?".

[Tropico]

:mad::up::up::up:

[Darthphere]

Booyah!......:(

[sinewave]

I'd actually rather see Vic make the varsity team. He's no longer a teen so he doesn't belong on the Titans anymore. Besides, he's not the leader, Robin is, so he's really got no business being on the team anymore. I'd love to see him on the JLofA.

Yea see that's what I was tihnking, I know he's suppose to be the mentor but he's got so much potential in the JLA. PLus the JLA is lacking a rookie leaguer right now.

[onceasaint]

I hope Vic sees the Dawsons Creek Titans arguing, and just clocks all of them and goes "Screw you guys, Im joining the league!"

[onceasaint]

No... id be mean to her... id rent a 3D movie and then give all the Titans those special glasses and she wont be able to see it in 3D cause shes only got one eye and no depth perception! :mad:

Rose would be half :( and half :eek:

End issue

[Mogwai]

to me, cyborg just seems out of place on the new team.. but raven seems to be joining in a future issue and that will probably change the dynamics.

[BrianWilly]

I think the current team dynamic is fine. I always thought Starfire was terribly out of place in the last team, but I learned to deal.

[Speedball]

I think the current team dynamic is fine. I always thought Starfire was terribly out of place in the last team, but I learned to deal.
That's why they put her in the outsiders, for that very short period of time.

[Harlekin]

Yeah, I'm loving the current team dynamic as well, although I'm not all to happy with Cassie at the moment. I like her fine, but they should keep her out if all she's around for is extra teen angst with Tim.

[Darthphere]

What dynamic is this? Theyve done nothing. NOTHING!.

[GoldenAgeHero]

character interactions?

[Darthphere]

They havent even done that.

[GoldenAgeHero]

yes they have. kid devil and ravager, ravager and tim. ravager and cassie. vic with new titans. etc.

[Darthphere]

yes they have. kid devil and ravager, ravager and tim. ravager and cassie. vic with new titans. etc.


Where? Cyborg is lost, doesnt know anybody. Ravager uses Kid Devil as a Zippo. Everyone else is mad at Robin for taking some time off to deal with his stuff (by the way, theyre *******s. Tim has lost his dad, his girlfriend and his best friend, *****es step off). Cassie and Tim kiss, oh yeah, awesome interactions.

Cyborg is dealing with losing the Titans. These arnt his titans. Ravager pines for Robin probably only because she knows she cant have him and she is becoming buddy buddy with kid devil. kid devil looks up to robin and wishes to be blue devils boy wonder. Cassie is getting used to the new titans and is now excited about fixing the team with Cyborg.

Besides the last 4 issues were more about intro and demonizing the chief rather than building on the titans, Im not jumping to any conclusions of the characters just yet

Exactly. I signed up to read Teen Titans not, The Doom Patrol guest-starring the Teen Titans.

[GoldenAgeHero]

doom patrol only had a two issue appearance. wtf are you rambling about?! and even then beast boy a former titan was now part of the doom patrol and it was nice to see what type of enviroment he has now. the whole thing still managed to focus on the titans and a former titan(espcially since cyborg wanted him back) don't know what the **** you're *****ing about.

Im *****ing about the lack of characterization of Teen titans OYL. There is none. Tell me what do you know about Ravager that you didnt know before? What do you know about Kid Devil? Nothing. Oh ravager is horny and slighty psychotic. Kid Devil looks up to a guy who could give a damn about him. Wow! Interesting stuff. Then, you have Gar and Cassie on Tim's ass about leaving them when **** man he has gone through some serious ****. Its all teen angsty drama, ive seen better plotlines on The OC.

We know Ravager wants to be with the Titans cause she's scared. Because Deathstroke is out there and if he finds her she'll end up right where she was before. With the Titans she feels safe, and her subtle flirtation with Robin was probably making her feel safer, being closer to the Titans leader and a strong hero.

We know Kid Devil had a lot of illusions about his place as a hero and sidekick. A lot of illusions that he's now seeing through. He feels he can't measure up to the standards set by a. the titans and b. heroes in general. Meanwhile he's formed a bond with Ravager as she is the only other "oddball" Titan.

Ok, I see that. Its just frustrating that I want to get these new guys more but we segway into the Doom Patrol and now into this new arc where were just going to meet some new random characters.

[onceasaint]

Remember your pressure!


But yeah, I have to agree, they have given us a little insight into the character's motivations. Its not a lot. Im not terribly happy with it, but it hasnt been entirely absent. Kid Devil and Rose have a lot of potential if written correctly. Now that Doom Patrol is out of the way things will pick up and we can get a more in depth story. Theres a good opportunity here for character development with the Titans going through and meeting their members during 52.

[BrianWilly]

The new characters have been characterized just fine. Rose is a rebellious, snarky little diva who's terrified of being rejected by anyone because she knows the only reason she's even around is because Nightwing told Robin to keep her around; she needs the Titans more than they need her and she knows it. Kid Devil talks big and puts up a cool cat attitude but he has no experience and no confidence in anything about himself and it's beginning to show more and more. Cassie has become angry and bitter and violent throughout the past year, becoming more and more like her future counterpart, but there's still a lot of the old Cassie in her and this comes out in moments alone with Cyborg. Robin misses his best friend like crazy but still has to take the responsibility of leading this messed up team of notreallyTitans. These kids are screwed up like hell and that's exactly why they should be Titans, to learn to cope together and be the family that the Titans should be. The former team of Young Justice graduates got it easy; they were friends beforehand already.

People are expecting far too much and allowing for far too little. In the last four issues we've seen more pathos and drama from Cyborg than we've seen in the majority of Johns' entire run. Everyone b**ched and moaned when the stories focused too much on Tim and Conner and got overwhelmed with Crisis crossovers, and now that it's not focusing a lot on Tim and Conner or being overwhelmed by the Crisis anymore, people find something else to b**ch about. I find that frustrating.

[Kevin]

hey, i like this book. i'm over conner dying (he's not coming back) i like rose, there's something about her that makes me... let me say this, if i liked girls (i do like girls, but alot less than i use to) i'd do her. kid devil/eddie is new to all of this. he's the member on the team that we're gonna see grow, and i, for one, am going to enjoy him (as long as they dont make him evil, i am SO not in the mood for that) then there's tim. he's half of the reason i started reading this book. (the other half was conner) c'mon, what wold the titans be without a robin? NOTHING!! that's what they'll be. robin WAS the only human on the team. anyone could relate to him. he's cool.

All good points. The point im trying to make is this title has gone overboard with the teen angst. It always existed but Johns was always able to keep it under control. The whole Tim and Cassie kissing thing happens all the time, thats why I just roll my eyes when I see that.

EDIT: And I never *****ed about the Titans pre-OYL.

[TheCorpulent1]

I never *****ed about them pre-OYL, either, unless there were specific reasons to (like when Liefeld drew two issues). There can't be too much focus on Tim and Conner for me, since they're two of my favorite characters at DC.

[Darthphere]

Same here.

well said.

[onceasaint]

I wonder if Rose ever keeps an emergency cigarette in her eye socket. Running around fighting villains, Id imagine its hard to keep your smokes intact.

[GoldenAgeHero]

people missing an eye isnt very funny bro.

[Laplace_Zombie]

People missing their smokes isn't, either.

[BrianWilly]

Depends on which eye it is.

[GoldenAgeHero]

have you guys checkedout green arrow 64. speedy's back! hopefully she'll rejoin the titans.

[Darthphere]

What for?

[Harlekin]

I wouldn't mind seeing Speedy rejoin the Titans. I wasn't averse to her joining in the first place. I wouldn't mind a slightly larger Titans team. This team still feels a little too small to me.

[Darthphere]

It seems World Tour might be changing that, thats why I ask what for? By the end of the World Tour arc the Titans might have 9 members.

[Harlekin]

Who were you thinking of for number eight and nine? Even if they recruit Raven and Zatara, they're still only at 7. There was also obviously some connection between Speedy and Zatara, so that could be interesting.

[Darthphere]

Miss Martian and the Aquagirl we saw in the first issue.

[Harlekin]

Oh of course. Forgot about Miss Martian, although I didn't know Lorena would be coming back. Well, then we don't really need Speedy. :p

[Darthphere]

Oh of course. Forgot about Miss Martian, although I didn't know Lorena would be coming back. Well, then we don't really need Speedy. :p


I doubt all of them are going to join, since theres a Titans East backstory thats gonna happen at some point. But yeah their roster could include upwards of 11 characters if Gar decides to come back or some other Titan.

[Harlekin]

Meh, I wouldn't mind if Gar decided to stick with the Doom Patrol for a while.
