SDCC - Preview pages of Red Robin and Wonder Girl in Teen Titans

[icon_uk]

from Newsarama


So does he shout "Transmute!" or "Bird ON!" as the wings pop out. (And I wonder who will be the first to remember where those terms came from)



Y'know, I think I like that look without the strap'n'crap of the full costume... Just throw in a utility belt and the R symbol and I could learn to like it a lot, alas, we're not going down that road...

But who is this?



Dramatic, if nothing else. Interesting that she now seems to have a transformation effect, does she slam her gauntlets together like Rick Jones/Mar-vell (or indeed, the Masterforce Headmaster Jr.'s ) or might she have some sort of illusion ability in her arsenal now?

And apparently the "Four Robin's in five years" won't actually the case (Sorry, but Steph as Robin is still out of continuity), as Batman and Robin(s) will have been operating covertly in Gotham for some years before Superman becomes the first superhuman to "go public" five years ago.

PS: why does she only have one glove

[auggie18]

Here's a really quick drawing of her new outfit I did.

I tried to be accurate, but even with the preview images it's kinda hard to tell what the outfit looks like.

[auggie18]

Because it is thriller.


Thriller night.

[long_silence]

Maybe she's wearing the Gauntlet of Atlas on one hand

[silverzeo]

Tim is from Gatchaman, Cassie looks like a Donna Troy-ied up Riding Hoodm and I am still dreading Conner's make over...

[majingojira]

Indeed

Though my mecha brain went to "Plider On" when the wings appeared from the back first.

[junipepper]

Morrison replying "I look great in a dress".

Seriously? Seriously? It's not bad enough that they diss their female characters, now we're on to mocking their female fans? You know, the ones who buy their f*cking comics with our female money... Assholes.

I'd be very interested to hear more.

[junipepper]

...and that's some fine professional art, where you can look at multiple drawings of an outfit and still can't tell what it actually looks like, don't ya think? *eyeroll*

Yours is nice and clean, Auggie; to be clear, it's the DC artists I mock.

[junipepper]

Cassie looks sort of ... feral. Or, I don't know, constipated maybe? In the inset box she pretty much just looks like she has to pee.

That is what the Red Robin suit should look like. Wings notwithstanding, and really I don't mind the wings, I think it's kind of cool. OK, they're dorky looking, but I think having wings is kind of cool.

I do like the musculature on Cassie; all the power females should look like that.

[junipepper]

lol

[marco]

This, to both comments.

And same here.

I was noticing that. I think the arms might be just a tad bit over muscled/detailed, but I would love to see more muscle in general on the Wonder family. (And less sexualized body, etc. on every female character.)

[darkknightjrk]

True, that would be a difference, but I think what they mean is that the fact that there was a Kon El/Conner Kent, who had a relationship with Cassie, Tim, and Bart, is still intact, but something's happened to him to make that relationship more complicated.

[turtlefu]

This is all second-hand stuff I've gotten from various comic book blogs, mostly Comics Alliance, but among other things, when a female fan asked Jim Lee why the female characters weren't prominent in the JLA group covers, he replied "Would you prefer if they were dead center or off-center on the covers" or something like that.

They're being very hostile towards their female fans and other fans who worry about these things, even though we have EVERY right to feel upset.

Also, Dan Didio claims that DC has the best percentage of starring female character in books. WHICH. IS. MISSING. THE. POINT.

The SAME POINT they are missing by implying that the Atom is going to be Ryan Choi again when a fan asked why there weren't any Asian characters.

And then when the same fan asked why DC doesn't hire more female creators, Didio says, GET THIS, something like "DC hires the best talent they can". Which, OF COURSE, implies that the huge crop of talent from female creators out there is not GOOD ENOUGH for grand old DC.

[darkknightjrk]

"Including, of course, a female fan asking why DC doesn't have more female creators, and Morrison replying 'I look great in a dress'."

When was this? I didn't hear any of that at all. In fact, in a panel where he was in it and a question about female creators, he asked the crowd if there was any women there who would want to write or draw for DC Comics, and when he got a few cheers, he said, "Well, send your stuff in!"

[turtlefu]

It was at that same panel, but before that.

I'm sorry if I got it wrong. That bit I got from Comics Alliance, so I assumed that it was accurate.

[viridian5]

I'm sorry, but the Tim page is so Liefeld-esque.

[darkknightjrk]

It might have and it might not have--the guy has a sense of humor and all, and the man's quite fit, so he probably WOULD look decent in a dress. :O

Anyway, the bit I heard was from Newsarama at 12:22/12:23.

[rdfox]

I was holding off, but now that I've had a better look...

[auggie18]

I'm sorry, because I know this was not the point of your post at all, but they're bringing Ryan Choi back?


GLEEEEEEEEEE. GLEE SO HARD.

[arbre_rieur]

Plus, Morrison's a former cross dresser, so maybe it wasn't entirely a joke.

[whitesycamore]

Can't fault the man for saying true stuff.

Is that, "Morrison's quite fit," i.e. he exercises regularly, or "Morrison's quite fit" in the British sense? ;)

[darkknightjrk]

The former. I don't even know what the British sense is.

[turtlefu]

I, WOULD, be happy, but it seems pretty obvious to me that the only reason they chose him over Ray was fill their DIVERSITY! quota of Asian characters.

Because, to DC, DIVERSITY! is not about creating role models, or more accurately reflecting our modern society, or creating strong, developed characters that aren't confined by the moralities of the Silver Age. No, to DC, Diversity is about tokenism, and quotas, and pretending to be progressive so you can get press.

[terabient]

Well. Hmm. Um.

At least the wings are retractable on the Red Robin suit <.
