Even though I'm happy with the roster, it kind of surprises/worries me that DC is editorially mandating exactly who is to be on the team before a writer comes on board. Is that really a good idea?

More Blue Beetle, and a great writer for a teen book. Looking forward to it.

I'm excited to see McKeever's run on Teen Titans. I shall be picking up this book for sure until McKeever is off of it. I hope Wally's kids show up at some point and I really hope Sean gets some more wiggle room to mess with the roster to his liking.

Take your time McKeever and you'll do good on both titles. :D

I could have argued the roster if I wanted to, and was given the option of a couple additions, but I was very happy with it as is.

Also, I did not tell explicitly the interviewer that Beetle is on the team. ;) :D

Can you explicitly tell us if Jaime's on the team?

No. That's not fair since that's been like the writer's job since for like ever. Oh anyone have any Teen Titan avatars that I can use. How do you add Avatars.

Who's Blue Bettle and what does he have to do with the Teen Titans.

He's on the Teen Titans.

But who is he. I've never heard of him before until he was announced to be on McKeever's new team. Does he have any powers?

I've never seen McKeever's work. Is he good? Can anyone enlighten me on his works?

Not too thrilled about the roster but the Titans Tomorrow sequel looks interesting.

Anyway, good luck on the title and I hope you don't pull a Metzler.

Yeah, he has a bodysuit composed of alien technology that can morph, fly, shoot rays, and such.

His solo title doesn't sell well but it's very good.

I'm excited to see that Marv and George will be working on #50, but was Nick Cardy not available?

I hope they deage future conner and erase his evil memories so it's like he never died.

Thanks. I'm a little puzzled as why Supergirl and Blue Bettle are on the team. I would prefer Superboy over Supergirl and Aquagirl or the new Speedy instead of Blue Bettle since I don't think that Aquagirl hasn't had much time to shine and she was in Titans Tomorrow after all and Speedy because I don't think she got enough time to develop as a character.

Superboy is dead in current continuity.

I know but still. It's DC.

Another nail in the coffin: the rights to the name and property of Superboy are currently in dispute between DC and the creator's family.

I don't think Blue Beetle is on the team. (I say this based on almost no information, of course.) I can see him doing some guest-starring, but one of the whole points of the character is that he's off in his own little corner of the DCU and has only limited contacts with the greater superhero community.
