You go to Scans Daily? Interesting that they've warmed to him. Usually they hate just about anything. Also, it's "Damian" man.
Grant thinks they're both legitimately part of Bruce, but to some extent he's forgotten how to be Bruce Wayne; and I know this lacks some punch coming from a Morrison fanboy like me, but his outlook on it is good enough for me.
... This is awesome and I wish it could be what happens. |

I'm sorry, I keep screwing up the name. Damian, gotcha As for scans daily, they're the only ones who consistently have scans. Its the only way I can keep off with the comic world since I'm no where near a store. Many people would probably agree with Morrison, and not just because they're fanboys. I've seen plenty of arguments in all kinds of directions on the subject. Like I said, huge lengthy essay topic potential. |

Oh, there's no doubt Damian's goin to establish dominance. It's like we said before, every batspawn that was a TT always ends up the leader. So that's practically enough motivation for him to think he can just walts in and start callin the shots. Hell, the kid's runnin Wayne Enterprises, he can word up anyone. The question is who's gonna warm up to him, n' vise versa??? |

I'd say Rose may be the first one he establishes a bond with. They're both brash, cocky but ultimately likable characters. I imagine they'll have a good bit in common. From there it's anyone guess. Some are probably going to take some time to warm up to him. I'm thinking specifically of Wonder Girl. Superboy's more of a wild card; I really can't say how quick he'll acclimate to Damian.
What's interesting is that I think this is probably the most interesting Robin to join the team. I mean, let's look at it here. Tim and Dick were both natural born leaders. They both had a lot of time training under one of the best heroes of them all before they led the Titans; and even if Batman isn't the greatest team player around, he knows how to lead and is a master strategist. So they walked in and took the reigns of leadership right from the first incarnation of the Teen Titans onward and because of their experience they had a pretty smooth run of it. They knew what to do. Damian, however, is relatively new to the world of superheroics. He's never led anyone to do anything more complicated than make a jelly sandwich. He's brash and inexperienced; and while it's almost inevitable that he will be the leader someday, if not right away, it won't be a smooth journey. He's only had so much time training under Dick and he hasn't yet started to team or bond with his father. Also, one of the reasons I wanted Damian to join ever since he became Robin was because I wanted to see the poor kid learn how to make friends. Let's face it; he's not had a normal upbringing. When you're the son of the daughter of the Demon's Head - not to mention haven't been able to meet your father or for him to even know of your existence until you are ten - you have a screwed up childhood, which we've learned over time. He hasn't learned to make friends and by the time he met his father he was like the spoiled prince. He still has a LOT of growing to do and while it's not likely to go smoothly, this is likely going to be the first time we see him actually make friends in the community and try to acclimate to a team setting. I find that exciting and full of story potential; even if he isn't the leader right away, he's still out of his element and we're likely going to get to watch him learn. |

True, Rose is kinda in the same ballpark as Damian when it comes to messed up childhoods, so there's some bonding grounds there. But considering is recent episode with her dad, it might take a while for him to speak back to her. Wonder Girl, she'll warm up to him for the sack of the team, or just have another Rose repeat. Only people I see that are given him the stick eye are Conner and Gar. Everyone else seems to be given him space. |

Perhaps. Actually, I wonder if he even knows Deathstroke was controlling him. He confronted his mother about it, since she was the mastermind. Dick's the one that gave Slade the one-two over it. I'm not sure we've seen how Damian handles grudges, so it could go either way.
True enough, but that's just a cover sketch. We won't really know reactions until the issue in question. I suspect most of them will warm up to him eventually, but first impressions will probably be mixed. Damian's much more like his old man than Dick or Tim. |

If it's buddies that gonna be a cure for this kid, then Gar's the man for the job, he knows how to remind folks to lighten up and roll with the punches. Hopefully, JT will wash the Henderson outta Gar and have him the way we want him to be. Speakin of which, even with the new writer, new artist, new roster, and Damian. Has anyone dismissed the fact that Cassie's still in-charge??? Cause konw it looks like we're gettin what we've been hoping with on Gar and Rae been headmasters, only with Conner and Cassie. |

I agree Gar would be the right man for the job; I just hope JT Krul thinks like we do.
Well, we don't know what's going to happen at the end of Hendersons run. For all we know, she comes to the conclusion she's a screw-up as a leader - which wouldn't be too far out there, considering Hendersons given her doubts from the start and shown her screw up - and lets someone else lead. If so, who can tell who it will be. Eventually, I expect Damian will become the leader, but whether he leads right off or not, we don't quite know. All I know is that I haven't been this interested in what's coming in Teen Titans in... s***, years maybe. At least as far back as Titans #5. |

I'm not so sure Rose and Damian will be antagonistic because of Rose's dad. Actually I'd thinkt hey'd find it to be common ground. "I hate your dad." "I hate him too." "Let's go out for ice cream then!" I don't know, just seems natural to me. Basis for somewhat of a friendship or at least mutual respect. |

You know, for some strange reason the internet connection I have is not displaying the color image on the DCU The Source page, but is displaying the black and white image. I thought that was the cover everyone was talking about. But when I come to this page it shows the color image clearly. Weird. My reactions: 1) Gar seems to have gained about 20 pounds and is now something of a brick. Not sure I like that, but I suppose its better than the keebler elf look. 2) I'm in the minority on this, but I'm not liking the idea of Damien on the team at this time. I want to see less bickering and infighting, and I just can't help but think we'll get both with Damien around. But if we have to have the little twerp, I'd like to see it start off with Gar kicking his butt, followed by equally gratuitous ass kickings by Ravager, Superboy, Wonder Rag, Kid Flash, Raven, and then a second one by Beast Boy just to show the first wasn't a fluke. Then maybe I'll accept him, 3) We lose Static, Miss Martian, Aquagirl, and Bombshell. Of those, MM is the only one I'll miss, but I suspect DC already has a place for her somewhere and its only a matter of time before she shows up again. In fact, I also wouldn't be surprised if there was a mini series for her in the planning stages; she's easily the most popular of the OYL Titans. As for Static, he's been rumored to be getting an ongoing for some time, so that one is no great shock. The other two I couldn't care less for, although for principle's sake I rather they weren't killed off. 4) I note that Ravager and Kid Flash are now on the same team together. Another set up for Titans of Tomorrow? 5) Breathing a sigh of relief that Gar and Raven are still on the team. Now lets see what JT does with the 'ship. Gotta go before I get booted off the internet. Communal internet computers can be a pain sometimes. |

Bart seems to have bulked up too, kids grow up so fast, don't they. I'm sure JT will make the ship happen. Given the upcomin roster, there's really not much anyone else we can see Gar or Rae latch onto; RaexDam--that's just depressing RaexBart--be kinda unsettling and unreal, like how it was with her manipulating Wally GarxRose--actually................no, no, no, no, that..........that's just weird. Kinky weird. |

This is a refliefe. Good to see the couple still one one book. It's sad that wehn Rose finally comes back that both Eddie and M'gann are gone. I loved their intereactions. Also sucks that Static got brought into the DCU only to have a lame run in TT then get dropped. Fine with BS and AG being gone, too bad they couldn't take the YJ'rs with them. This roster seems very small for a TT book. Although I personally like only 6 team members, i imagin we will see a few (including Damian) joining soon after. DOn't really want Robin there, but whatever, it won't ruin it for me. In the end i'm just glad that BB and Rae are still together (in the same book) This was another chance where the couple could have been forgotten or splitten up to be forgotten. Only good things. Also, shoeless Gar still!!! |

I think the shoeless look and the more bestial look are a deliberate hint that Gar may be turning more animal-like and hence starting to turn away from being human. I predict that within a few years, we're going to see a sort of reverse of the Wyld story... only with Gar turning feral and the Titans (and Raven) having to bring him back. Betcha Zookeeper will be involved. And I still can't see the color image on the Source page but can see it here. Very weird. |

2) It depends on where JT goes with this. It could be a good but of fun. But I wouldn't want to see the Teen Titans start trying to whup a ten/eleven year olds ass. Maybe it's just me, but that would seem a little... yeah. Not to mention I like Damian. 3) I thought Kid Devil was the most popular OYL Titan. Though he's not around right now, so... honestly, the only one I'm going to miss is Static. I don't feel like we had time to get to know him under a good writer. I like Miss Martian well enough, but she's kind of just been there for a while. Hell, she's been taking almost regular leaves of absence from the team since Geoff left. Maybe she'll go hang with the JLI like Jamie? She fits the same "like an old member" thing he does, since Martian Manhunter was a JLI member.
I doubt this is a final roster. We're only seeing as many as they put on those covers; and as we know they don't always get everyone.
Don't remind me; I'm displeased with that... |
