Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Dr. Gym'll's Cultural Rarities Oh Yeah, That Forum: The Titans DC's TT: Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing?

P.S. Mal's ret-conned identity was 'The Herald'. Quite a cool name, and *much* better than Hornblower but the Mal I prefer is always going to be the one who ran around in that orange/brown jump-suit outfit as drawn by the supreme Nick Cardy. That look was tough and practical and totally suited him. Mal is a cool character just by being himself. He doesn't need a costume or identity and I hope when Geoff brings him back he realises that.

Speaking of Mal's costumes - does anyone remember that fan-created costume he wore for about 2 pages back in the 70s? shudder Hideous! ... (But gloriously camp at the same time!)

Heh...to me the Titans are the costumeless 60s period with Lilith, Mal and Gnaark. Probably because it was a couple of decades before I read any other Titans series.

So I guess I'm more accepting of this (and the Jurgens title) as a Titans series than most since its doubtful I'll ever see "my" Titans again.

Whoa... Thanks for the flashback - errr - info.

I've enjoyed most of the Wolfman-Perez Titans through back issues, and have grown to appreciate the freshness that they brought to comics. But I was mostly interested in the new Titans - Raven, Changeling (a grown man should NOT be going around calling himself Beast Boy!), Cyborg, and Starfire. Those were the ones I want to see more of. I always felt that Dick and Donna were constantly "stealing the show". I felt the same about Superboy in the Legion as well.

So I have some interest in this new series. I want to see that generation of Titans take center stage and NOT just serve as a supporting cast to Young Justice. I don't mind the young kids as long as they learn their place in the pecking order (something they haven't done yet). I'm holding out that Johns will still deliver a good New Titans style comic.

Actually, I'll be happy if Johns just writes good stories. And with all of these opinions on what everyone wants from a Titans book, there's no way he could please everyone unless he just writes good tales. He's fully capable of doing it (see Hawman, JSA, and Flash) but it's been almost a year now, and I still haven't quite been impressed. I'm still buying so things aren't completely bad, but every month seems like a wait-and-see.

Wha wha WHA?? future era grown up versions of OUR current era Teen Titans confronting their younger teen selves after the forthcoming Legion special is done?

Robinette-bashers,

I heard sales of ROBIN increased an unheard of 50-100% once Stephanie took over!

DC was so flabbergasted, they allegedly fell all over themselves to lengthen her run as Robin.

How ya like her now?

I have been liking it. Although the last issue looks like the last for Stephanie as Robin (story wise)

It's been okay but I find the cartoonish artwork detracting from my enjoyment of the story.

But it looks like Bats has taken a page from The Donald by ending the current issue by saying to Stephanie... "YOU'RE FIRED!

I'm interested in seeing where she goes now (I've always liked her, but not as Robin).

I definatley don't want her to die in the upcoming Bat-crossover though, which seems par for the course in comics in general these days...

Looks like your worst fears have been realized.

Stupid story to estatblish a new bad guy. There was no need for this or his fathers's death in Identity Crisis other than (I believe) to make Tim a darker personality. Which is exactly the wrong thisng to do IMO. Tim is a great counterpoint to Bruce's darkness.

Then again, they've really screwed up Nightwing too!

But, I loved the last page of the latest Teen Titans!

"We're the Titans East!" Yeah!

Incidentally, if Tim is the reason the Titans became so dark, doesn't it stand to reason that Tim isn't really going to go in this direction? Yes, he's got every reason to do so, but maybe he'll be the one to break the Bat Curse.
