DC bringing back "The Titans"

[Green Lantern]

Nah, I prefer Tempest to be separate from Aquaman. I also prefer to, like, see him more than once every couple years, though.

Ditto Oh well *Goes back to his Teen Titans showcase editions*

Winick wasn't the one that had Jade cheat on Kyle, that was the hack that is Ben Raab.

Actually, it was Winicks story that they grew apart and she went back to Earth, Ben Raab built on it and Marz had Kyle find her in bed with another man.

 

[sandwraith]

Gay beatings? In the Titans?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

No, in Green Lantern. Kyle Rayner's gay assistant got beat up in a hate crime scenario. It wasn't a bad story, it's just one more instance of Winick taking on social issues with all the subtlety of a headbutt, which is pretty much what he's built his career on.

Winick had her go back, but I'm pretty sure Raab started the relationship with blonde pretty boy, and Marz just had her get caught.

It wasn't that bad.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I said that.

 

[Anubis]

It wasn't as bad as the not that bad you gave it, is what I mean. Like, what you said was, "She looks okay, for a chick who smells like horse jiz." When the story was really like, "She's okay."

So Flash is doing the two teams thing again?

Red Arrow can handle being a part of the Justice League, the Titans, and part of Green Arrow's group all at once.

Batman is a leading member of the Justice League, leader of the Outsiders, and leader of his own group.

Mr. Terrific is a member of the JSA andthe White King of Checkmate.

Hal Jordan and John Stewart are members of the Green Lantern Corps and the Justice League.

Batgirl is a member of Batman's group and the Outsiders. Robin leads the Teen Titans and is a part of Batman's group. Nightwing is Batman's second in command and leads the Titans.

Green Arrow leads his own little group and is a member of the Outsiders.

Black Canary is part of Green Arrow's group and is the chairwoman of the Justice League.

With all that said, if so many heroes can handle being a part of two or three teams, little clique groups, or organizations. The Flash can certainly handle it.

 

[hippie_hunter]

Winick doesn't even know who Tempest is.

That's so obnoxious. I mean, seriously. You've got a team of original and New Teen Titans getting back together to form this awesome synthesis of the two... oh, except for Tempest 'cause, hey, he's Tempest, right? Who the **** cares about that loser?

I DO, WINICK. I DO.

He'll probably show up anyway so Winick can kill him off as he is uncool and redundant.

Winick already confirmed that Tempest will eventually join the team.

 

[fifthfiend]

He'll probably show up anyway so Winick can kill him off as he is uncool and redundant.

Then later everyone will make catty references to how he was a 'second stringer' or 'C-lister' or whatever the stupid ****.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

He's only a second-stringer because no one other than Peter David and Joe Kelly bothered to portray him as anything more.

It's dismaying to learn he will indeed be on the Titans. I was so looking forward to not reading it because Winick and Churchill both suck, but I may have to give it a chance once Garth joins up.

Oh, sidebar, I hate Amy Wolfram's portrayal of Garth in Teen Titans: Year One. He was awkward and weird, I know, but I don't think he was a total ***** back then.

It wasn't as bad as the not that bad you gave it, is what I mean. Like, what you said was, "She looks okay, for a chick who smells like horse jiz." When the story was really like, "She's okay."

I understand now. A wise man once told me that horse **** is the universal language.

The Terry Berg story wasn't bad at all. I liked it, actually. I think the specific point where it won me over was when Batman--Batman--had to step in and tell Kyle he was getting out of line with his brutality over Terry's beating.

Batgirl is a member of Batman's group and the Outsiders. Robin leads the Teen Titans and is a part of Batman's group. Nightwing is Batman's second in command and leads the Titans.

When did Batgirl rejoin Batman's little clique? I haven't seen the two of them together outside of Outsiders since before her series got canceled.

A "yes" would have been sufficient.

 

[Aristotle]

Nah, I prefer Tempest to be separate from Aquaman. I also prefer to, like, see him more than once every couple years, though.

Seriously, what the **** could he possibly be doing with himself?

Batman is a leading member of the Justice League, leader of the Outsiders, and leader of his own group.

And, although few people realize it, chairman of his neighborhood association.

I think the specific point where it won me over was when Batman--Batman--had to step in and tell Kyle he was getting out of line with his brutality over Terry's beating.

"That's like Idi Amin going 'you're too intense.'"--Robin Williams.

He's only a second-stringer because no one other than Peter David and Joe Kelly bothered to portray him as anything more.

In my perfect world, Joe Kelly and Peter David would be writing like five DC books a month, man.

 

[RockSP]

You may need to seek some help.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

For liking a character? Ain't no help for that, man. Garth has laid claim to my heart and nothing will change that. :heart:

Seriously, what the **** could he possibly be doing with himself?

In my perfect world, Joe Kelly and Peter David would be writing like five DC books a month, man.

I don't know if that'd make the world perfect, but it'd certainly be closer than we are now.

And, as far as I remember, Tempest was left going off to some mysterious otherworldly plane or something when Aquaman's book ended.

 

[Aristotle]

Yeah, but he's NEVER around. The guy is constantly MIA, even before Infinite Crisis.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yeah, no one uses him for anything.

 

[hippie_hunter]

When did Batgirl rejoin Batman's little clique? I haven't seen the two of them together outside of Outsiders since before her series got canceled.

I was thinking that since Batman invited Batgirl to the Outsiders, he let her back in somehow. Dixon will cover this in an issue of Detective Comics.

 

[fifthfiend]

He's only a second-stringer because no one other than Peter David and Joe Kelly bothered to portray him as anything more.

I'm not saying whether he is or isn't a second-stringer, I'm just saying it's idiotic when they refer to characters as such in-comic. It's all part of this weird thing they do where anymore any character's in-universe respect is related to his real-world comic sales and movie marketability.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I was thinking that since Batman invited Batgirl to the Outsiders, he let her back in somehow. Dixon will cover this in an issue of Detective Comics.

So I've heard. I'm worried, given that Dixon's Batgirl in Outsiders doesn't seem at all like Batgirl. Maybe it'll make more sense after that Detective issue.

 

[Anubis]

Well, this is a Batgirl who's been Mind raped. Takes time to get over.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Ugh, single worst piece of writing in the last dozen years, at least.

 

[Aristotle]

OK, the "worst writing in a dozen years" tag is getting way over-applied recently. Is it that one issue of Civil War Frontline? Is it Amazons Attack? Is it Batgirl-gone-crazy? Is it the first couple arcs of Fastest Man Alive? Is it One More Day? I DEMAND AN ANSWER!

 

[Manic]

I vote One More Day.
