Teen Titans: Games - Everyone Cross Their Collective Fingers Rumors

They have teased us about this before! As recently as just before Perez's stint on B&B. Hopefully it will finally see the light of day.

Jericho's Suit always just cracks me up.... We should Known then,.. anyone Who where's a Suit like that , has got to be crazy.

... I never liked that suit for Donna. Either go Wondergirl with her,.. when she got the Bod & Boobs,.. or just the Sparkle Black.

Should be interesting to see if this will take off,.. I'd probably buy it,.. depending on the developer ofcourse.

^^^ Like Perez's Nightwing is much better. Perez is a great artist, but his costume designs... yeesh.

[The Toyroom]

All this talk of Perez' cosutme designs ( I still dig the Nightwing suit!) but nobody mentions Danny-freakin'-Chase? Where are your priorities poeple?! If he's in the long-awaited graphic novel, then it's a sinker for me. I won't waste my $$$ on that era....again.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Games was started in that era, which now makes the project 20 years old! I am a HUGE George Fan, but sometimes I have to agree his costume designs are a bit dated. BUT he also designed Cyborg, Raven and Starfire, as well as Deathstroke, and various other Titans characters who still look (relatively) the same.

I always liked the "disco" Nightwing suit. It fit the character, and harkened back to his circus roots, as well as merging Batman and Robin. His black and blue suit is slick, but it's pretty generically "bad@$$".

I love Perez' design for the original Brother Blood too...

[Riffster]

classic Titans story. where do I sign up? Only way it'd be better if it took place a year or so early in titans time so Dick would be in his Robin suit

I love Perez' design for the original Brother Blood too...

YES, that was a great design..!

As for the New Titans.., I lost ALL interest when George Perez originally left.

Then it limped along during/after the way-too-long Brother Blood Deluxe format storyline (when Dick was kidnapped trying to save Raven..), didn't care for any costume changes or new characters after that, nor did I even like Jericho and his silly outfit.

Even the Changeling/Cyborg relationship was bland, when it originally sparked with the ol' Johnny Storm/Ben Grimm-type banter.

The magic was gone.

The Nightwing costume was alright..: Yes, we ALL knew it was time for Dick Grayson to change uniforms, so it was tolerable.

For me, keep WG in her original outfit, and bring back Kid Flash and Speedy.

Those are all very classic looks. Particularly Starfire as "Red Sonja from Space". I think Deathstroke's mask is particularly inventive. I prefer the original Raven costume to the current one they are using.

My only complaint with Cyborg is the stockings/garters look of his robot legs, but that is a minor tweak.

[BlackKnight]

Perez Created 2 of the Best Costumes Ever ... DeathStroke,.. & TaskMaster. .. I think He does Great with Orange & Blue.

I have always liked the Disco NightWing Suit too. ...
Obviously it Screams "80's" ...., But I still like it,.. have always liked it,.. ever Since I was like 7or8 when I 1st Saw it.

Never cared about Raven in White either,.. Dark Blue for Her,.. for Me.

[Earth 2 Chris]

Yeah White Raven was a dumb move that shouldn't have last but a few issues.

I had a MASSIVE crush on Perez's Starfire. I think it was partly because I identified with Dick/Robin/Nightwing so much, but I can think of two other reasons...

I remember reading somewhere that that was accidental....I think a colorist went with the color scheme for Deathstroke unaware that Perez had used the same one on Taskmaster. Their debuts are very close to each other....Tasky in May '80 and Deathstroke in Dec. '80

[Earth 2 Chris]

It seems weird that the creators of these characters sometimes don't have any say in their coloring. I've read of this kind of thing time and again, and it just seems odd.

Speaking of Perez and coloring, a neat little fact is that longtime colorist Anthony Tollin suggested the name "Nightwing" for Dick Grayson (based of course on Superman's Kandorian alter ego). It was the only one of some 20 or so names Wolfman and Perez submitted to DC's legal dept that made it through!

More ancient buried Perez goodness...

[samurainoir]

Perez designs....

"Gypsy" Scarlet Witch for the "win"...


Particularly when you see it in real life...





Much better than his original unnecessary tweaks to the classic look.
