New Titans East.

[Bizarro Amy]

Well, it doesn't look like Nightwing is going to be in the Outsiders book. I just read the Nightwing and Boomer crossover, and Batman has pretty much taken over. I personally would like to see Dick working with some of the Titans family again. I guess Donna Troy is going to be out of the picture for a while, since she's running around with Jason Todd and "Bob" the Monitor, looking for Ray Palmer at the moment. What's Starfire been up to lately? I was kind of under the impression that she was still doing some post-52 wrap-up, but I'm not sure.

I hate to admit it, but I LIKE Powerboy, and would like to see him develop into more than another throwaway character. The little we've learned about his Apokoliptic upbringing so from Supergirl far makes him intriguing.

But, otherwise, I agree with the majority of posts so far: That Cyborg is underrated and deserves a better line-up peppered with some other, more familiar Titans.

On the flip-side of the equation, there aren't a lot of original Titans left alive from the past who haven't moved on to other groups that aren't pretty mediocre. I think the real problem is that if the Titans are the close-knit family they have always been, fans won't appreciate an artificial division in the ranks to keep the groups separate. To keep them untangled, most writers would have to pull together a team of fresh characters lacking the Titans' histories.

I always felt Titans East/West became more and more of a joke; if somebody really wanted to make it work, they need a stronger line-up, IMHO. I also think if Winnick flops, the dual Titans groups idea will probably fall back into obscurity for another decade. Either way, <sigh>, I'll be buying it. No matter how badly it's done, I'm still a Titan forever

Yeah,.. that story Arc with Supergirl,.. Powerboy is definatly a different breed of a Superhero.. But now that I think about it,.. I kinda find his character interesting,.. he is very Arrogant, however if one had his powers, I could really see that perhaps Happening... So the Chick in the Purple is AquaGirl then,... 2 water characters,.. nice.

Now some of this line-up I can see. I like Cyborg and he is an under-rated character. The current Hawk and Dove are ok in small doses although I liked Hank and Don much better in the Silver Age. Lagoon Boy, perhaps, because he has showed up in Young Justice and Titan-related events, although I don't know much about him. Same with chick that I'm assuming is AquaGirl. But Power Boy?! The psycho who is obsessed with Supergirl? Yikes.

It was a lot easier to figure BEFORE "52"'s conclusion....now with these pseudo Earth-2s,Ss and Xs for example I don't know where they stand. I'm not even sure DC is 100&#37; sure of what they're doing...but hopefully something is in place by the end of "Final Crisis" that's permanent and makes sense...

...but somehow I doubt it...

[BlackKnight]

Indeed... Is there some kinda guide to the stuff ? I mean like a book or a web page ? Everytime I hear something about the multi-Universe,.. I just get screwed Mentally,.. I can't seem to figure out everything, let alone every Character... About the only thing I know,.. or think I do, Is the fact that PowerGirl is Earth2's Supergirl.... & man did they make her right.

[thunderbolt]

Crap, we are getting into headache territory.

The whole Trials of Shazam! Just seems a bit stupid & doesn't follow any continuty with the rest of the DC books,.. Does it ? I mean if now Kingdom Come is the future of the DC Universe, & not an Elsewords tale,.. Billy is Shazam! in that book, right ?

Kingdom Come is not neccesarily the future of the DC Universe...some say it's an alternate earth in the Multiverse (as seen in the end of "52"), while others say it's an alternate timeline which may or may not happen. According to the JLA/JSA/LSH cross-over (which is confusing in itself), the KC-Earth was a "stop-over" earth for Starboy/Starman on his way to the mainstream DCU.

I mean if now Kingdom Come is the future of the DC Universe, & not an Elsewords tale,.. Billy is Shazam! in that book, right ? So how the Heck does any of this crap Work ? Billy's now the Wizard & then Freddie's his champion ? So Ahhh,.. when this gets old, what are they gonna do, kill Freddie, then Billy will come back as Shazam! ? What stupid nonsence.

THAT'S Son of Vulcan? Since when?

Since the recent Son of Vulcan mini. Its's actually a very good read.

I know. I was surprised too.

Grace is the big chick. I swear in the new DC solicits, it looks like Aquaman on the cover of BATO 2 or 3. I forgot which issue it is.

Yes. That's Aquaman. However, after JLA 12 there's some question as to which Aquaman it is.

And that's going soooo well!

I'd like to see either CM3 or Mary Marvel in some version of the Titans. Maybe once Winnick is dumped from the Titans East book (it'll happen eventually...you just have to be patient), the new writer will see fit to give some love to the Marvel Family (that is IF Winnick...there's that name again... doesn't mess them up too badly after the "Trials" mini is over (and shouldn't it be done by now?)

If DC holds to form, Mary could be the only Marvel available to a Titans book. Billy is now the Wizard, in charge of all magic in the DCU. Freddy is in training to be his champion, Shazam. Mary is being reinvented in the pages of Countdown.

Here's hoping that Billy Batson and the Power of SHAZAM will be a true representation of Fawcett's Marvels.

Junior is currently being....reinvented...in Winnick's Trials of Shazam series.

Why not bring in Captain Marvel Jr. ? He was great in his appearance in the Titan book.

I dunno,.. I do like the Titans Book,.. Robin , Wondergirl, Deathstrokes Daughter} Ravenger, Kid Demon,... or whatever his name is, Jerico, The chick ManHunter..., Donna,... just wish Cyborg was still there... these new characters really mean nothing to me other than Hawk & Dove. Why not bring in Captain Marvel Jr. ? He was great in his appearance in the Titan book.

[The Toyroom]

The thing is if you have to split a franchise team into 2 rosters, you'd better have some A and B-listers on both teams....not a bunch of Cs and Ds. The Titans franchise is getting watered down and I must partially blame Geoff Johns for introducing a lot of knock-off characters in One Year Later. It was a cute, fun idea at first but it opened the floodgates for crap members who claim to be Titans. Almost makes you want to see them bring back Kole and Danny Chase....almost.
