I think DC is so determined to make fans forget what they ever liked about Barry Allen that having Wally around might remind them of a time when they actually missed Barry.

While I encourage creativity in writers, I wonder why they felt the need to create so many new characters instead of using existing ones?
This article mentioned character diversity via introducing more ethnic minorities - what about unused (and still living) Titans like Mirage, Solstice, Hotspot?
Oh well, here's hoping the new characters will last!
Titans Idol - vote for your favorite Titans members!

It does seem that making a title named 'Teen Titans' that was entirely composed of Young Justice members and new characters, instead of actual, yanno Teen Titans was part of their design intentions.
It's not like they don't have a dozen or more potential Teen Titans of ethnicity they could have used, like Hornblower/Vox or Bumblebee or Static or Hotspot or Mirage or Osiris or Aquagirl 2 or Solstice, etc., etc. all of whom actually *were* Teen Titans...

I liked #3-- though I think it's taking too long for the team to come together. And it's really hard to put questions about what is/is not 'history' out of my head as a reader. Bunker was pretty fun- not at all the Extrano that some feared. Well, there's a little 'Extrano' in there, but that's a good thing, when you get down to it.
Red Robin, not meaning to put together a team? Huh.
Kid Flash rescuing Solstice in parallel to Red Robin rescuing Skitter and encountering Bunker provided a well-built structure for the story.
I'm not loving this Wonder Girl. At all. Can't get past Donna's nonexistence (as far as we know to this point) or the fact that she's a car thief (who can fly!!) Is she still a daughter of Zeus? Maybe she's trying to throw Hera off her track... that, I'd buy.
I fear Wildstormization is coming, too (I realllly don't like that aspect to the new DCU. At all.)

'A' Danny who we don't see is or was imprisoned in the same place as Solstice and Kid Flash, I believe. Maybe that's Danny the Street or maybe not.

So...considering my expectations for this were WAY LOW, I'm actually kind of enjoying it so far. I like the energy to it and how it is kind of transmitting teen angst on every possible level (especially it's non-stop pacing).
No doubt it's better than the last few years of the the series. Once you get over the fact that it's made the rebooted history even more confusing, you can kind of run with it. It's arguably better than all the Justice League and Legion series.
Anyone else surprisingly enjoying this?
