So no news of STATIC joining d TT?

At this rate, I'm going to be surprised if Tim survives his run in with Joker. Erase Dick's past... Check. Erase Tim's past... Check. Erase Steph... Check. Looks like it's Jason's turn.

He's starting to look like a really good target, except they want him as far away from the actual sub-universe that spawned him.

So, what, he's now just a glorified fanboy? WTF?

Static joining wouldn't get anywhere near the same reaction as Raven:

He polled the audience about getting Supergirl in "Teen Titans" to a tepid response, but Raven's upcoming appearance earned some hoots.

I still would like to know if he's going to be shown in DC Universe Presents #0 in spite of the solicit and cover.

If this is a Young Justice panel, why the hell are they talking about Red Hood and the Outlaws and Supergirl? Oh, right, because Lobdell writes the former, but that doesn't explain why they mention Supergirl. It just seems like they were trying to set up the possibility of including Supergirl in Teen Titans, which the article points out didn't get much enthusiasm from the audience.

A Kamandi/Teen Titans team-up would be Linkara's worst nightmare.

I rather liked Beast Boy and Terra, at least in the cartoon. In spite of their rough past, I'm interested in seeing what they do here.

I'm not intersted in Legion of Super-Heroes, but they didn't even mention it at all. Legion Lost also barely got a mention besides the desire to aim for more cosmic stories.

Oh, and of course, why the hell did Tim Drake never become Robin? Wasn't one of the main points in Batman #1 that Tim was specifically a Robin?

This isn't a "Young Justice" panel; this is a "Scott Lobdell destroys your memories and what little sense of continuity left" panel.

Did they ever establish whether Tim's father is alive or not?

[MichaelPaytonMZ]

As far as I'm concerned the entire Young Justice line should be rebooted again. And this time try to match the writing talent and overall feel of the namesake TV series so we actually get competent storytelling. (Maybe hire a few less retired hacks from Bob Harras's old offices...just saying.)

[MichaelPaytonMZ]

Did they ever establish whether Tim's father is alive or not?

They've never even established if he had a father. He could be a Cadmus clone while the real Tim Drake is on ice somewhere next to the real Conner and Kori.

We already know DC doesn't care about Static or the rest of the Milestone characters. Don't get your hopes up.

[Darkspellmaster]

I have no problem with tom, he did a great job on Spider Girl, I just think a lot of this stuff is making it hard for the writers to actually, you know, write.

[_Pandora_]

I must have submitted at least 50 questions regarding if Dick Grayson's TITANS will ever form a team in the new 52. Not one was ever answered. Seems like that topic is rather black listed. That impression has been established.

[shingi70]

Eh Tim never being a robin has a lot of problems of its own. That also effectively removes Cass Cain and Steph Brown from the equation.

Really don't. Are about raven joining the Titans. In fa t I'd rather she not as that means one of the current t members will end up leaving.

Good to hear them wanting to push cosmic Dc. I'm thinking the green lantern line will be getting re damped post third army.

So is red hood going to be starring in another book if the outlaws are teaming up with crimson fox? Rather see essence or that dragon guy instead.

Please God no Tim drake solo

Don't mind the old Titans just hanging out.

[Will.S]

The panel was only interesting with regards to Tim and his origins with the team being explored and the potential for a Blue Beetle inclusion into the team.

Raven joining up we already know about but Lobdell's made it clear that DC's editorial department (or whoever makes the big canonical decisions) still can't make up their mind when it comes to whether the previous incarnations of the Teen Titans existed. At first it was "Yeah there might have been a version before, maybe not labeled as Teen Titans", then "Yeah, no this is the first version", to then "Eh, we can't make up our minds". I'm still buying Legion Lost and Supergirl but if Superboy continues it's attachment to other titles to have to complete it's stories then I'll be dropping that as well because that title really should be self contained.

What are you talking about? Lobdell did adress the issue, is in CBR coverage of the panel:

'The issue of how the classic Nightwing/Starfire/Cyborg Titans could exist if Red Robin's team is the first, Lobdell said that in his mind, those young teens hung out but never formally formed a Teen Titans team. He admitted this slightly contradicts what he said at the panel last year in San Diego, but plans for the series and how its mythology worked changed in the past year.'
