TEENTITANS direction

[Jason1Kent]

Ok , first to admit , I love Gossip Girl and so happy with choice of writer but who is going to be on this team? whats going on? looped out for awhile and suddenly Bart is back, what about Conner? Tim? Oh and glad Gar is back :)

[ryerye17]

Wonder Girl, Static, Bombshell, Miss Martian, Aquagirl and Blue Beetle.

And Beast Boy and Raven are mentoring

Weird. This is the FIRST team that there are more female than male members. Discounting BoP of course.

The Wolfman-Perez Titans went several years with more female members. (Wonder Girl-Starfire-Raven-Terra vs. Robin-Changeling-Cyborg) It's tradition I guess....

It seems like Gar and Raven might be there because:

A). The "Big Kids" Titans book is being revamped and Vic, Kori, and Dick are becoming JLAers.

B). The lack of "big names" on the team have more or less been a subject of complaints for a while, especially since Supergirl left.

uhhmm..Jericho? Kid Flash?
And Terra turned traitor fast.

I think to make this book good would be to have a regular team , its been all over the place and so hard to care, hence why I stopped reading.
Wondergirl, Superboy, kidflash, beast boy, raven, bluebeetle, reddevil,speedy, redrobin (because Tim is sooo much the better Robin!), bombshell and krypto would make a great team

Are Beastboy and Raven big names?

Certainly bigger than Bombshell, Ms. Martian, and Aquagirl.

Bigger than all of them but Static. 5 years on TV and in syndication with viewership that triples Teen Titans readership.

Yeah, that too. I'd argue that Beetle is certainly up there as well thanks to the Brave and the Bold cartoon.

Blue Beetle is certainly up and coming. Frankly, I'm expecting a Blue Beetle animated series within the next couple of years.

Beast Boy and Raven are up there in terms of the general public, courtesy of the TV series. Same with Static, but probably less so in his case since his series was longer ago. But Beast Boy and Raven have suffered lately from some pretty terrible writing and periodic trips into limbo land, so they're probably not as big draws as they might have been a few years ago.

I'm expecting Superboy to return, but I suspect Bart and Tim will not. Bart will be involved more with the Flash family than his friends, and Tim will be in a similar role with the Batman family. However, I do expect we'll see at least one crossover involving the Teen Titans plus Kid Flash and Red Robin sometime this year. Perhaps crossing over in all three of their books.

I DO hope we see a Teen Titans and Doom Patrol crossover this year.

EDIT:
BTW, I get the feeling that DC is currently trying to promote Beast Boy into a larger presence in the DCU. He's now the Teen Titans leader, he has solo stories coming up in the two holiday specials, he's a major character in Blackest Night: Titans, and DC even posted his own separate origin page on their "Heroes and Villains" page on their website. Which tells me, they may have some bigger plans for him in the near future.

Is about time Teen Titans was sorted out, as it's been boring me silly for months.

I would say the first DC team. There was a time the Avengers had Wasp, Ms. Marvel, She-Hulk and Scarlet Witch with 3 male members.

I hope TT is given some good direction. I think Miss Martian is a great character and I would like to learn more about the new Aquagirl. I am just tired of writers and editorial trying to go back to the Wolfman/Perez lineup and trying to rebottle lightning.
