Yeah that's what I was thinking. I don't mind Robin's new suit though.
Everything else in the TT is looking wack and very 90's
Heck even wonder woman is looking 90's

That's Red Robin, Tim. Original Robin will be Damian Wayne as I read in some places (father and son, anyone??)

they gave daimen a feather type of cape too, just not as much as tim's. I like Tim's older look better myself, I liked how he was more of a mix between his old robin outfit and batman. too many red and black get up's for the bat family imo though.

I'm sad that Booster Gold (IMHO, the best DC hero) has lost his ongoing.

Agreed. A thousand times, agreed. I've been avoiding news on the DC Reboot in order to spare myself the inevitable migraine it would bring but between the Bat Family, Superboy and Static I just don't even know what to think...
I'm probably saddest because this means the end of Red Robin and a load of enjoyable developments in the Batman titles.  [size=3pt]God, the titans look like shit.[/size]

I hope its not the end of red robin, although now I dont want to read it anymore since I know most of it will be retconned out anyway, they are changing tim's character up some drastically from "the guy always behind a computer" basically all his tech skills and stuff with computers will be downplayed or something of the nature.

this is a collectors nightmare.

Edit -I am looking forward to static actually, the writer who was going to be on the title before it was added to the relaunch was pretty lackluster, her run on teen titans was incredibly dull.

You're kidding me right? I sincerely hope they do not ruin Drake's character. Bad enough he's got that "not quite the Falcon but twice as gay" costume.

That description of Wonder Girl is even sadder... "...belligerent powerhouse thief known as Wonder Girl..."

You're super kind. She is absolutely God Awful as a writer and we all dodged a bullet when she was taken off the title. Gonna miss that first released cover image though.

But yeah, given what Static has been through since coming to DC I'm almost afraid to complain about his title... or any Milestone characters given a chance really.

Hey, knowing DC and from current information this may (not be a retcon/reboot and) just turn into a short period of time where these characters received major changes and then went mostly back to normal  ;D (before,during,or after any of this actually happens).

To be frankly, Teen Titans was an abomination already in the last years and was one of the jokes of the comicdom.

A Teen Titans membership is almost a death warrant.

Death warrants for teens and bigger bounties for the league  :).

Aquagirl (tula) from pre-crisis was a member of the teen titans. She died during crisis. No one remembers crisis.

What happened to her? Was she replaced by some unnamed person (like superman was with uncle sam) or did DC roll out any adventure that was in?

This is what I think contributed to the need for a reboot. I remember DC saying that they were supposed to get lighter but the TT remained fucked up. They were so fucked up DC couldn't do anything with them with out a recon.
then evil robin and dark Bruce showed up.

also I'm really confused as how DC owns or manages Static. He's not a DC character from what I remember reading.

DC bought out Milestone comics years ago. A couple years back they began "integrating" the Milestone characters, like Static, into DC's regular continuity.

probably, supergirl looks a bit older, so I guess thats why, alot of the other second "girl"  characters are non existent at the moment including donna troy,stephanie brown and of course power girl, probably the new aquagirl too, and I thought aqualad\boy was supposed to get a book or something too.

What if they decided to do an alternate multiverse for this new set of characters, while sticking to what worked with the current cast.

I don't get it. I'm still waiting to hear about Cassandra Cain. A shame I actually liked the last Aquagirl. Weird to get rid of her and the new Aqualad seeing as a focus of this revamp is supposedly diversity. She was latin, right?

I hope Power Girl survives. Her book is one of, if not the, best female centered books out right now. Hell Power Girl is one of the better books currently available, period.

Also info on the Teen Titans costume designs. Tim's continues not to make no sense to me. They wanted to give him a suit that glides. His current suit does that. But it sounds like the wings retract, which would make the outfit look better to me.

well I wouldn't get in a uproar just yet, the books announced are just new number 1's doesn't mean some of the older ones wont be back, (I hope) from what I heard. I still don't like the wing setup for red robin though.
