Mostly bad, I am surprised I bought it. I am doubly surprised that the main period I bought it was that (VERY VERY) long storyline where the mute blond guy betrayed them by teaming up with villains who dressed as bison-men.

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.

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.

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.

Can never understand why comics are hard to get into for new readers:
Donna Troy has now discovered that like every other person after the Crisis on Infinite Earths, she is a merger of every alternate version of Donna Troy in the Multiverse. Unlike everyone else, Donna is the repository of knowledge of every alternate universe version of herself and remembers the original Multiverse.

As most of her work (and all of these books) is on Graphix, those figures are only a small minority of her overall sales to readers.)

That's cool, but do any of her characters have backgrounds like this?:
After Donna Troy is killed by a fleet of Superman androids reprogrammed by Brainiac, she is resurrected by the Titans of Myth, who seek to exploit her status as an "anomaly" from the world that existed before Crisis on Infinite Earths to escape the coming cataclysm of Infinite Crisis. This story establishes Donna's status as an anomaly of the timeline, explaining that she survived the Crisis and was later subjected to multiple alternate origins as the universe tried to fit her into the new timeline created following the collapse of the Multiverse. This makes Donna in effect "a living key to the lost Multiverse." This same storyline also reveals that Dark Angel is an evil alternate universe version of Donna from Earth-Seven. Another pre-Crisis survivor, she "was saved by the Anti-Monitor, and raised to be his harbinger of doom, Dark Angel. But Dark Angel was uncontrollable, and vanished."Within a short time after 2011's The New 52 reboot that followed the Flashpoint story, DC had already presented two conflicting new origins for Donna Troy in the pages of Wonder Woman and Titans Hunt. In the first case, she is introduced as a new character: magical golem, ruthless warrior, and challenger to Wonder Woman's status as leader of the Amazons. She later goes on a journey of discovery. In Titans Hunt, this same Donna, alongside other former Teen Titans, rediscovers memories of childhood heroism with the Teen Titans, which should be impossible for her. In the DC Rebirth relaunch, Donna has a fuller set of childhood memories restored to her after meeting the pre-Flashpoint Wally West. In the DC Rebirth relaunch of Wonder Woman, the storyline "The Lies" reveals that the savage depiction of Thymiscira and the Amazons in the New 52 Wonder Woman series in which Diana is made the Queen of the Amazons and the God of War and has Donna Troy reinvented as a mass-murdering villain is, in fact, an illusion by the Olympians to keep her away from the real island. A later Titans story clarified that Donna is still a magical golem created to destroy Wonder Woman, with fake memories granted by the Amazons.
