Teen Titans #89 preview, now with more Damian

[sherkahn]

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.

His conduct to Kara, to me, is the worst of all. He calls her "Alien" for the entire issue, which on the face of it is pretty gross.

Then you remember that Kara had been recently hunted down by the US military for simply being a Kryptonian, her best friend just got immolated and she just saw everyone she loved on New Krypton die. It'd be stretching it for Damian to not be aware of the events, so Damian calling her "Alien" consistently rather than her name for an entire issue is deliberately and maliciously cruel.

Does he demonstrate the same conduct to male superheroes? I've seen him be dismissive, but I don't see his comments to male superheroes take on the ugly character that his comments to female superheroes do.

I genuinely don't see why we're meant to find him entertaining. I tend to drop books he's in. Teen Titans is now off my pull for good until he's off it, Red Robin is next on my axing list and the only reason I keep Supergirl and Batgirl on my pull is that Kara and Steph deserve better.

Male characters he can be very rude to or ignores (cf the Guardian, Dick himself) or attacks Tim (repeatedly). Female characters he is more likely to just be rude to.
