Teen Titans/Titans Discussion Thread

ODn't get me wrong a few of those characters would be cool to have (Osiris, Miss Martian, and Bombshell) but there are so many good teen heroes out there they're doing nothing with (Aquagirl, SPeedy, -cough-lagoonboy-cough, and Empress) there's probaly mroe but I can't think right now.

 

[Dwarf lord]

And KC is OOC anyway.

True, but it's a possible future. So it's not like their randomly being created.

And considering how many things are falling in line with it...

 

[Tropico]

Captain Atom hasn't been anywhere lately so I really hope Bombshell hangs around

If by lately you mean a couple of months (a couple, literally, I think) then I agree. Otherwise we saw him in that mess at Bludhaven where he was on the road to become Monarch again.

For every 1 interesting teen hero, I read about 3 more than put me to sleep.

The only teen heroes that need to exist IMO are:

Speedy
Kid Devil
Captain Marvel Jr(yeah i'm reading ToS)
Bombshell
Robin
Wondergirl
HotSpot/Joto
Superboy()
Miss Martian
Kid Flash()

I dunno how old Red Star, Cyborg, Beast Boy, Terra, Starfire, Raven and Tempest are but I assumed they weren't teens anymore.

 

[batnkevlar]

Dude, Osiris needs in...

 

[Colossal Spoons]

I haven't read 52 yet so I can't gauge his level of badassery.

The premise behind the Teen Titans relaunch was that after the events seen in Graduation Day some of the older ex-Titans felt that the newer generation still needed training, guidance and a place where they could be with others like them. Apparently enough time has gone past that these young heroes' mentors have forgotten what happened on that day(s). I liked these new TT's then, much more so than what I do now. After the Titan massacre in IC I'm surprised the older heroes didn't ask for adult heroes to supervise the younger ones again. I've seen many posts here saying that they should do away with the older Titans, but I always liked this balance of young and old. Both could learn from each other.

 

[GoldenAgeHero]

osiris has'nt even been featured yet. why the **** should he be in?

 

[batnkevlar]

Cuz he's Black-****in-Adam's answer to a sidekick... that's ****in why...

 

[Dwarf lord]

Exactly. African American Johnny Thunder, Blue Beetle's costume, Arsenal's inclusion in the JLA (Red Arrow costume), Wally having kids, and probably a lot more I can't think of.

Hahahahaha, most of those have only surface similarities and actually deviate from KC.

 

[Darthphere]

No, its an elseworlds. People need to move away from this possible future crock. Its an alternate timeline, not a possible future.

 

[Hellstormer]

And Nuklon becoming Atom Smasher and the Starman costume. Also didn't Magog may an in continuity appearence?

 

[batnkevlar]

But in KC, Jakeem is still a kid, how's that possible?

Just like in any alternate timeline, there are similarities, so the future DC universe will have similarities, but won't be exactly like Kingdom Come...

oh, and I just figured Kingdom Come was the future of the Silver Age hereos, as seen be no Tim Drake, no Cassandra Sandsmark, no Cassie Cain, no Bart Allen, etc...

 

[The Leaguer]

Everything Alex Ross does is Silver Age. F*** Ross.

 

[batnkevlar]

Exactly, that's another reason why it was an end to the Silver Age...

oh, no Kyle Rayner, no Mia Dearden...

 

[The Leaguer]

Kingdom Come was quite a while before Mia was even created.

 

[batnkevlar]

Oh true... I forgot about that...

but you see, Waid and Ross left out characters that were prevalent when they wrote the story, and they probably left it out for a reason...

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

Alan Scott was used because they couldn't agree on what Lantern to use otherwise from personal bias or some crap.

 

[The Leaguer]

Ross wanted Jordan, Waid wanted Kyle.

Obviously, Waid has taste. I love Waid.

Well when the person that died comes back to life, one tends to forget it even happens.

 

[BrianWilly]

Blue Beetle being dead probably counts as a heavy exclusion...

 

[LouFerignoDemon]

For some reason, I thought Ross wanted Kyle, when I knew that Ross was like a jock who only remembers high school and dotes on it like that is all that matters, even forty years down the line, and thinks of the Silver Age in such a way.

Oh well.
