Teen Titans!

Ok, clearing things up: Roger Stern creates the Hobgoblin, leaves the book before revealing who he is. I believe he offered to tell incoming writer Tom DeFalco who the Hobgoblin was supposed to be, but DeFalco said he didn't want to know. Priest (who had been Stern's editor) writes Spider-Man vs. Wolverine and kills off Ned Leeds. In an editorial fuck-up, it is decided that Leeds was also the Hobgoblin - this is revealed in (i think ) ASM 289, written by Peter David. Jack O'Lantern had NOT been Hobgoblin before, but he was the one who ordered the hit on Hobgoblin, and then took his stuff and decided to become the second Hobgoblin, since Jack O'Lantern was rubbish and even he knew it.

Many years later, Roger Stern returns to write a 3-issue story establishing that Leeds was a patsy, and the real Hobgoblin was who Stern had intended it to be all along....

...Roderick Kingsley, the evil fashion magnate with an identical (balding) twin or something. I dunno, I didn't really read it.

BTW, the reason Raven was able to resurrect Jericho - his soul was A) trapped in Deathstroke, then B) trapped in a computer. If Sperby only had a memory stick and a compatible port somewhere on his ass...

Geoff Johns, ladies & germs.

Remember how many of us read The Outsiders, which was the Red Hood & the Outlaws of its day.

Comixology has started releasing Wolfman's Vigilante series from the 80s - worth a read?

It is, as they say, grim n gritty

AHHHHHHHhahahahahahahahahahahaha

did... did i just watch robin shoot a bunch of guys?

it's nuts the lengths dc/warners are willing to go to in order to do everything except create a straight-up batman or superman tv show btw

Emo Lilith! If this is a Berlanti show, expecting the same 1:25 glorious : banal/inconsistent/illogical ratio as the other DC shows. Plus extra glowering, hair tucking, and stubble.

Emo Raven, oops.

Fuck Batman, y’all

god i wish

In DC Universe’s Titans, Dick Grayson (Brenton Thwaites) stabs a guy in the balls with a pair of garden shears. Unfortunately, the powers that be say I have to write more than that sentence about Titans, but I do truly think every aspect of this show—its tone, its aesthetic, its story, its themes—boil down to the image of Dick Grayson, the original Robin, Boy Wonder, charming vigilante do-gooder, plunging a gardening tool into another man’s crotch.

do not want

Why does WB think that every DC hero is the Punisher?

I have not seen any of the cartoon but I saw the movie and it was incredibly delightful, so it seems especially insane to have another TV version of the same property out in the same year with such a horrific and dumb dumb dumb tone

I enjoy watching Teen Titans Go! with my kids, but get the feeling from the previews that I'm more likely to be the target audience of Go to the Movies than they are. The live action show's a non-starter.

I presume the cold clammy hands of Geoff Johns here

Imagine your movie universe failing as badly as it is then thinking this was a good idea

My son was watching "Teen Titans Go!" the other day; I saw a scene where they were all sitting around the table and decided to see if they could have a political discussion without arguing. Robin encourages Cyborg: "Go ahead, state a political opinion." I thought it would sort of end there (no way would they actually get into anything political) -- but Cyborg says, "OK... um, I think the government should make sure as many people as possible have what they need to live" (or something like that). Then everything explodes, everyone yelling at once -- Robin: "WHAAAT? And enrich the FAT CARS in Washington?!"; Starfire: "How you dare you disparage obese felines!"; etc.

I'm not a huge fan of what I've seen of the show (it's cute but a little too frenetic), but I thought it was interesting that it actually got that "real" with that particular gag.
