Weeeeeeelllllll...

Is it worse? Is that even possible? New 52 Titans introduced a new character and then completely forgot about her as if the idea failed and they abandoned it. It's better than Teen Titans Go at least right? Man poor Teen Titans probably haven't had anything decent since the early 2000s animated show :(

It starts better but then becomes equal.
---

Damn. I can't even write and Teen Titans seems like such a hard concept to fuck up

I just looked up the first issue and fucking Damien is the leader now? I thought somebody at DC wanted him obliterated. Where the hell did Tim go if Damien is the leader now? Damn screwy comic timelines

Huh apparently there's a Titans Rebirth that's partly the classic ones. Vol.1 for neither lists Cyborg or Raven though. I know Raven is at least in the one with Damien, but my extremely limited experience with him is that he's a gigantic ass so...conflicted here

Bumpo

You want good Titans? Read Deathstroke. No joke. There's a great team in there and that title is so damn good.

Also, Tim has been captured for the last several months by Mr. Oz.
---

Is there only one Deathstroke comic or should I be looking for a particular year? Never heard of Mr. Oz. Last I saw Tim he was leading the New 52 failure Teen Titans

The current Rebirth Deathstroke is what you're looking for; Christopher Priest is the writer.

Mr. Oz is one of the big bads of Rebirth so far; his actual identity was revealed recently.
---

Ok, thanks! I'll have to check it out. So uh what is the Titans team in Deathstroke anyways? I mean I'm sure it's mostly about him, but I saw the Rebirths have two different teams for the Teen Titans

They aren't called the Titans, but Defiance.

Membership - New Kid Flash, Terra, New Power Girl, Ravager and Jericho.
---

There's a new Power Girl too? I saw the new Kid Flash the other day. I don't think I know Jericho, but that team intrigues me

I'm assuming Cyborg isn't part of any Titans team due to being Justice League now?

Cyborg has officially wormed his way into the spot of "least interesting Justice League member". New Power Girl was a freaking failure, did absolutely nothing. Priest came along, and suddenly she has a point.
---

I wonder what the new Power Girl looks like. I would be amazed if they topped her design >_>

They did not. She is also a little girl so I'm glad they didn't.
---

Does the regular Power Girl still exist in the Rebirth? I'm remembering why comic stuff felt so overwhelming to me

Everyone still exists, but there's less continuity or backstory. Everything is way more self-contained.
---

Oh, that honestly might be pretty great for someone like me. It will make it way easier to follow stuff. As long as the Rebirth has been going on it might be difficult for me to find some stuff, but we'll see

I wasn't counting unnamed randos at that point.
---

Yeah I should've waited until I got caught up to start commenting. Sorry lol
---

Ravager is Rose Wilson right?

Watching Gotham.

This license to commit crime storyline is so idiotic that if it lasts more than a couple episodes I'm probably going to stop watching
---

Okay rest of the episode was actually really good. I liked Bruce's storyline. I loved Scarecrow. I loved little character moments like Ivy seeing Selena.

But I hate the crime licenses so much.
---

Am I just crazy or does anyone else think New Power Girl looks like the girl who is Bumblebee?

I 2nd crime licenses being stupid, nothing about it makes any sense what so ever.

She does somewhat. At least, like the cartoon version.
---

The only version of Bumblebee I know has like the exact same hair style with the double buns and stuff so this character looks a lot like her. Are there any other New characters aside from Power Girl and Kid Flash I should know about?

In that series? No one you really need to know about in particular. Honestly, it's really easy to just pick up and read Deathstroke. No backstory really necessary.
---

I just mean for the Rebirth in general. Did they do a ton of New characters or just Power Girl and Kid Flash?

Actually Rebirth really went back to the basics, aside from the Young Animal line. I highly recommend it to fans of the comic genre, but if you are a mainline reader, you might not enjoy it at all.
---

I'm not much of a reader in general so I'd probably enjoy most of the Rebirth if I can find them. Is Booster Gold around at all? I read his New 52 JLI thing and then he vanished. He seemed pretty amusing so that was kinda sad to me

Booster Gold will return... in 2 months.

Watched the newest Gotham which was pretty great.

Who wants to be hyped for the Arrowverse crossover this year?

I would be more hyped if there was no mention of weddings >_>

As if I even needed a reason! This is going to be amazing.

Why would you not want Barry and Iris to get married so we can move on to unique plot beats that aren't on every TV show ever?
---

Probably because Iris has been terrible on the show for a while and marriage might just bring newer drama that is even worse

I know nothing of The Ray but am stoked at an LGBT hero.

Scarlet knowing what you know of my opinions will I like him
---

There have been a decent amount of LGBT characters in the Arrowverse

Most important thing about the crossover this year is that they're not stretching it out into the whole week. A two night event has a better chance of making a more cohesive story instead of half a series episode and half of a crossover episode.
