As someone who grew up on Wolfman/Perez Titans... this current take on Raven (in terms of looks, attitude, civilian persona, dating Gar) is disconcerting.
She had a thing with the other team sad clown (Wally) early on ... though that was largely mental manipulation in the name of self-preservation.
And the Teen Titans cartoon was popular enough that it was bound to bleed into the comics ... though that version of this relationship was also pretty one-sided.
I have no idea where a lot of the other modern Raven characteristics are coming from, though.
Shoulder length hair and shoulder spikes doesn't seem like the greatest combination.
(... wondering what other occasions she has that costume for. Like how Superman keeps that outfit he had to wear that one time for... 'special occasions' with Lois.)
Tim's been "just Robin" again for a while. But I couldn't say when. Probably around the point when they decided to just have multiple Robins and Batgirls and Batmen, fuck it, who can tell the difference anyway. Only nerds know there's more than one of each anyway, right?

A random stranger showing up in a costume on your doorstep asking for candy in Gotham? There's no way that's ending well.
