Teen Titans #89 preview, now with more Damian

DCUBlog has the preview for the Teen Titans as they have to deal with a pain in the ass.

Two behind the cut.

"CHICK" FIGHT!

The artist does impress. Damian does have his father's scowl down.

	Meh, doesn't impress me, it just proves to me that Damian hasn't done ANY homework on his teammates. He's supposed to be able to, if not lead, at least think tactically, and a metamorph is a superb tactical weapon.

	I think the single most offensive thing about Damian is the way we're supposed to accept his weak-sauce insults as hilarious witticisms. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 8 comments) (Show 8 comments)

	We are? I thought we were supposed to accept them as him being a brat. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 7 comments) (Show 7 comments)

The way he's usually written I can practically hear the clash of cymbals after every one liner. That, and the fact that he almost always gets the last word, suggests that the other characters just can't handle his awesome burns.

Particularly when he's arguing with Steph - they'll have a back and forth, Damian will throw out some lame insult (usually about her boobs) and then she'll shut up. I'm left with a general impression of "ho ho, Damian sure told HER, amirite?!"

All this just makes me wish someone would pick him up and chuck him down a well. And I actually like Damian some of the time.

	Well, getting the last word isn't always the mature thing to do. I frequently take it as people just realizing how stupid it is to argue with a ten year old. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 4 comments) (Show 4 comments)

	Oh, I don't think the writers intend to make Damian look mature, but I certainly think we're supposed to find him funny. And I do find him funny sometimes - but not when he's a brat for the sake of being a brat. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 3 comments) (Show 3 comments)

	I find him hilarious, but precisely because I teach precocious brats all day, and this is exactly what they would be like, unleashed. A few more squashings from his elders and wisers, and an eventual mellowing will help though. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent)

	Well my point is, last word or not, when you're arguing with a ten year old (even a superkid like Damian) the only way to win is just stop. (Reply to this) (Thread from start) (Parent) (Thread) (Hide 1 comment) (Show 1 comment)
