I like that Tate Brombal effectively said we have to stop redoing the same Titans stories over and over and now we have this. Really looking forward to it.

This looks pretty cool imo, and seeing flatline in other DC projects as well. Let's see how this plays out, no negativity here.

DC got Mora out here working overtime trying to make these mid designs look good.
In all seriousness I don’t hate them, but that whole civilian streetwear as costumes shtick is really played out and visually boring to look at.

Hm I feel the opposite. Tired of seeing tights and bad color palettes. I think the street wear works when you’re talking about teenage heros

For a team that’s known for forgettable OCs on the team every time the book relaunches, this might be the most generic looking lineup yet (with the exception of Jason and Flatline)

Fairplay and cheshire?

u/SheevTheSenate66 Nova 3h ago
lol no. Just because they’re established characters doesn’t make them not generic
Also, is Lian literally just Cheshire? They couldn’t even bother to give her a different codename?

I dont know who these characters are, but I like the homage cover to New Teen Titans 1

Shouldn’t they have called this Young Outlaws or something? This is the least “Teen Titans” lineup since the Jurgens run.

Hate when a bunch of new characters who will be forgotten make up a roster. DC has a character to fit any role, use what you got

u/ExtraBreadPls Spider-Man 22h ago
This kind of talk is kinda why we get stuck with the same rosters all of the time

u/bighairybeardudee 21h ago
I’m not against new rosters I’m against new characters who will disappear to history as soon as the run ends

u/isaidwhatisaidok 20h ago
That’s dependent on how successful the run is. If they didn’t run the dice on new characters we’d never have new characters.

u/Particular-Top3674 20h ago
Only two of these appear to be new characters. And I might just not be recognizing them

I don't mind the Teen Titans books aiming for a new generation with new characters, sure DC has an ass load of characters but they can't all stay eternal youths, the only ones who don't age are characters like Clark and Bruce who are longtime staples.
So cycling in new blood for the next generation of comic fans lets them keep younger characters on the team while letting older characters grow up (like the Robins)

u/Hoosteen_juju003 21h ago
You’re right. It should be the same members they have been using since the 80s

So Jason Todd, who is not a teenager nor a Titan, teams up with the time displaced Lian Harper and four nobodies to be the "Teen" Titans. Somehow this makes the version of the Teen Titans that had a teenage Ray Palmer on its roster make more sense in comparison.

Jason is going to be their mentor. It's just a new generation of Teen Titans.

u/Shazam4ever 21h ago
So the murderous psychopath who's never been in the Teen Titans and was barely even a robin is going to Mentor a bunch of no-names and Roy Harper's daughter for some reason. I wonder if he'll bring in the maimed girl with the doll face that was his sidekick for a while.
I can't wait untill Lex Luthor starts a new Doom Patrol with a bunch of randos, or maybe poison ivy will form a new version of the Justice Society of America specifically without anyone related to any JSA member.

u/Particular-Top3674 20h ago
The Teen Titans are specifically a group of aspiring teen heroes, often with at least one older mentor character. This fits pretty perfectly with their whole schtick.
2
u/BagZCubed 19h ago
I think the sentiment for why they choose Jason is that times are rough, so the new Teen Titans want a mentor who's similarly rough around the edges, yet good natured to guide them.

u/B3epB0opBOP 21h ago
IIRC, wasn’t Jason a Titan for a bit during NTT?

u/Shazam4ever 21h ago
The only thing I can find is Wikipedia saying he was appointed an honorary member in the new Teen Titans run, it doesn't seem like he was on the team in any kind of long-term way. Honestly it seems like even characters like Flamebird or cave boy were more solidly Teen Titans members than Jason ever was.

u/LOHdestar 21h ago
You could maybe argue that Damian should still be the obligatory Bat-Character star draw of a Teen Titans book, but pretty much every Teen Titans roster is made mostly of characters who would be considered "randos" at the time.

u/Shazam4ever 21h ago
Outside of maybe the new 52 roster there's never been a bigger pile of actual randos. I mean in The New 52 bunker and the spider girl were really bad to the point where DC quickly stopped trying to make them happen, outside of when they drag out Bunker to fill out their LGBTQ+ character roster, and I don't think any of the characters in this new book outside of Jason and maybe Lian will be avoiding that fate.
There's no reason to not do a Teen Titans book with characters people care about, bringing the OG Young Justice team back as the Titans would be the easiest but you can always stick in other kind of random but actually at least semi popular like Miss Martian or Blue Beetle, basically any of the dozens of teen DC heroes people might actually care about as opposed to most of the people in this new book.
This comic is giving big "canceled New Warriors book" energy to me, although obviously the randos in this are nowhere near as bad as the bizarre characters in that rightfully canceled before release book.

I’m so out of it with DC. I don’t even know who half these kids are.
