Ah he's still into Traci, its Aquagirl whose making moves on him. Jaime's not the kind of man whore who has sex with any woman he runs into.

In other words he's not Nightwing.

Awww.... ^O^

Does this mean I should start paying attention to the series again? Hmmm...

Probably. Rest assured the threads will be kept updated. But it's looking a lot like things are picking up.

Ghetto
 
Ya know Jamie, if your hormones weren't busy jumping between Traci and AquaGirl, you'd understand.

Wait, what?

... I've been away from this series longer than I thought, obviously.

Anyways, I think they're setting this up so that Jamie learns to respect Gar over time. Let's remember that Cassie has a different perspective on Gar than everyone else. She's worked with him in the past for better or worse. She knows what he's capable of and that's why she respects him.

But to everyone else in the DC Universe, Gar is like the junior Titan who never takes anything seriously. He's going to have to step up and shirk that role once and for all. To be respected.

Also, Jamie is still new in this game. I think he might have expected the "veterans" to be a bit more serious about things. But then here comes Gar, who's been a Titan for years and years, who jokes around. That's got to be a bit of an unpleasant shock to the kid who is used to working with veterans like Batman, Doctor Midnight, Superman and some of the former JLI members. Gar's not like most heroes; It's not unreasonable to think that at times he probably makes a less than stellar first impression.

Thank goodness he's not like Nightwing. Burn indeed! ^O^

But if things are picking up, that can only be a good thing. I started picking up the books, but with all the weirdness that went down, I never got far. I don't have a lot of money, and I don't want to give it away on something that will just disappoint me.

But that scene just gives me the fuzzies. Gar loves Raven! Ha ha! I love it. So very much. It's so sweet.

I am leaning towards your slant, DL. Gar has to prove himself, because though we all know he's more than capable, not all the characters do. But it just means it will be awesome when Gar does awesome.

Hence the reason I stated hormones instead of feelings. I know he's all about Traci, but hey, it's kinda hard not to look at AquaGirl skinny dipping or wearing something that Kory would approve. X3

One thing I've always liked about Gar is that even in the old days when he hit on a lot of girls, he was never tasteless or bad about it. Nightwing just... Dick's got some serious relationship issues. That's the best way to put it.

I plan on reviewing trades of the Titans comics for the Main Site sooner rather than later, so you could always refer to that when I get to it. I keep up with things for the most part, so I know what's what.

I've got to catch up a bit myself, actually. I have all the Geoff era trades, but I took a break from buying Teen Titans before Sean McKeever started. I've been meaning to get around to catching up for a while now, but I just never got around to it (the kung-fu awesome of Immortal Iron Fist and trades of JLA and Green Lantern have been eating up my dollars recently).

Same for me. I made me feel all warm inside. I love moments like that.

The folks over at RBSU and I think this is setting Gar up for something bigger down the line. We've been hearing from folks who are close to Ed Benes - the artist for Blackest Night: Titans - and the scuttlebutt is that Gar is going to shine in 2010. It looks like we're being set up so most of the team doesn't believe in him, but then he proves himself in a big way.

The big events in DC right now suggest that next year might end up seeing Earth at war with New Krypton; if there's a better time for Gar to prove himself, that's about as good as any.

Oh. Jamies not playing. That's good.

Also, one of the commentors mentioned him telling Traci Aquagirl was flirting. That also makes me feel better. Suggests Jamies uncomfortable with all this.

Well might as well comment on the shippage.

YAY Gar!

Now I know this is definetly before Blackest Night cause the Titans haven't seemed to encounter the bad guys yet, but hey by time this introduction is up that issue will hit the stands. But it just proves the guy still has feelings for Raven and it makes me go "D'aww!"

Not getting my hopes up or anything, we still need Raven's side of things, but so far... we're back in the saddle!

I'm crossing my fingers that Gar does get his moment to shine. That would make me a very happy camper. I love Gar to pieces. He deserves to get some accolades.

I'm also pulling for our favorite pairing to get back on track. We know how Gar feels, obviously, and all that remains is Raven. Things are looking up, though, and it makes me more optimistic than I have been in a while.

Chances are good if the new team on this book is still bringing it up. I mean they could've ignored it but instead they keep reminding us that "Gar has a thing for her". I'd say chances are very good. I'm just waiting on Raven to explain her reasoning behind the break up.

I'm sure he'll get his moment. Most likely soon considering how it looks like this book will be structured. Hopefully Blue will warm up to Gar and the two will be awesome together and kick ass with the rest of the team. Who knows maybe with Gar's cheerful influence around Cassie will stop being a bitch.

I'm questioning those sideburns though.

I say keep them. This new feral look suits him. Now if they'd only do something about his hair. At least give'm a buzz cut or something

At a second glance with a better picture, it doesn't look so bad. It is a feral look, and it is actually very fitting. In a way, I think I kinda like it. I think it makes him look a bit older, strangly.

Despite the fact, I have a small soft spot for Dick. I don't know what it is, because at the same time I really want to rip his head off. >_<



Also, if Gar's getting ready to have his big moment in the upcoming issues, I really can't wait. He's not one of my more favored characters, but I still like him a lot. That and the fact that his feelings for Raven are out in the open...X3 -has a slight fangirl moment- I love stuff like this!

I love this sort of stuff too. But I suppose I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic at heart.

I'm trying to let it go. Dick's character went off the rails thanks largely to bad writers and not the character himself. It happens to the best of characters. But it's pretty much canon by now that Dick has some major relationship issues to work out.

Dick is regaining points with me thanks to the Batman & Robin book, thankfully.

I'm a total sap. XD Fuzzy feelings and the whole shebang. It's quite sad, but c'mon and tell me that to my face. I'll readily agree with you.

My problem is I always get that way with the guys I ship in a pairing. Like I have a soft spot for Gar now that I like BBRae much more than I used to. Don't even get me started on any other ships I have. It's a damn long list. XD

But if all I got to do is blame bad writers, then I will very well blame bad writers. I read in a trade, False Faces I believe (which I didn't like), Nightwing was gettin' a little too close to Oracle's lips than I liked. >_> Speaking of smacking and/or removing heads...>>

Seriously, though, compare his and the Bat's relationship. Who's got it worst? And wasn't Nightwing Dick's chance to get out from under Batman? Why would he follow a similar path concerning relationships?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this not like the first 'I love you' between Gar and Rae? Awww man this just too cute. It needs to go the main site and on the BBxRae club!

And I quite like the way Gar looks in the middle panel =]

Dick. Bruce doesn't have the best luck with women; his Batman identity has often killed it. But Dick was not only basically raped once, but he slept with another women on the night of his wedding to Starfire (which, if you ask me, is one of the worst retcons ever).

Yeah, this is the first time I've seen it said from either of them. That I can recall at least. I plan on updating the site map, I'm just waiting for the timeline to become clear on things around Blackest Night.
