DiDio asked for fan comments on Robinson's controversial "Cry for Justice" miniseries, which received a good amount of applause. Robinson said he was asked to put Starman (Jack Knight) on the team—"I wasn't going to do that, so I put Mikaal on instead." Regarding Congorilla, the character was the first Robinson thought of when asked to add an obscure character.

Cowards, or everyone secretly loved it.

DiDio asked who fans wanted to return. Ralph and Sue Dibny were popular choices, while others included Garth (former Aqualad) and Terra.

Over at Newsarama they said Kord was a popular one.

There was a name I didn't catch, but that fits. I've added it. Thanks!

"Young Justice" characters will appear in "Teen Titans" soon, according to Johns, "and some of them might get their own books."

What?

WHAT

*squee*

This is so friggin cool I can not believe this is happening DC rocks forev-

The next fan commented about "Cry for Justice" and questioned the wisdom of using "the death of a little girl" as a catalyst. "We never said we were getting rid of grim and gritty," DiDio said, addressing another of the fan's complaints, "and I don't think we're doing grim and gritty--we're doing storytelling." He said that the emotional reaction means the story worked.

Oh.

Could this mean the return of the Wonder Twins?!

Don't you mean the return of SLOBO, EMPRESS, AND SECRET?

I'm sure we may at least see Empress and Secret, Slobo, given Didio's remarks about his creation "ruining" Lobo may be a little far fetched. Lagoon Boy might be another choice too. He got name dropped in Titans like two months ago.

And I say the Wonder Twins, as they're the only ones I can think of who could carry their own book.

He's going to be in GL pretty soon, and had a mini-series earlier this year (or maybe late last year).

The cursing of DiDio still stands.

I mean, Slobo was the best character to come out of Young Justice, and he was there for less than 20 issues!

More like R.I.P. Traya

A fan asked what Johns would do "to save 'Teen Titans'" and "'Titans, villains for hire--why?" Johns said that "Teen Titans" is a very personal book for him and he wants to get it back on top, while DiDio added that the current "Titans" direction is not necessarily permanent.

It has been a long time since TEEN TITANS was "on top". Even when Johns was personally working on the title, it never really rose above "solid mid-lister".

That is not to say that the Titans franchise can't be revived, but they need to look beyond just bringing back the Young Justice characters.

Peter Straub is working on "Green Woman" for Vertigo, a story about "where stellar serial killars go, their retirement home." He's working with Michael Easton, who is also an actor on "One Life to Live."

sounds a lot like the "The Roberts" mini that image did last year.
