Two old friends meet for the first time - Preview of Titans #1

Following on from Titans Hunt and the latest... "rearrangement" following Rebirth, we have the reformation of the orginal, wiped-from-memory Titans team!



It's so nice to see them back together, even if Dick is in that horrible New52 Robin outfit....


And then




Well, okay maybe not, but it's a nice idea, no? :) (Cutegif by biazeart on tumblr)

Sneaking up on Batpeople is a good way to get a concussion. They always "prep time" first ask questions later.....

[bruinsfan]

I'd imagine Wally is at rather less risk of that than just about anyone else. I can't really see any punches from Dick (or anyone else other than Barry, Jay, and a few speedster villains) landing if they're thrown within Wally's field of vision.

[cynic79]

Is Dick's identity secret again after Forever Evil? Because otherwise his response seems absurd.

[adnor]

Recent comics spoiler: Grayson ended with everyone forgetting who Nightwing was, except for the Batfamily.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

Do we have scans of that? I'd love to see how that came to be.

[icon_uk]

It seems not. I suspect I was waiting until I could post seven pages, it's a terribly involved issue so four pages probably would have been doing it a disservice.

[junipepper]

I think, more specifically, everyone was made to forget that Dick Grayson ever existed (other than Bat Family, and a smal number of (conveniently un-named) others.

It was Otto Netz and... no, I really can't explain it. I don't really get it. But it's a thing now.

I wonder if the addition of Lilith is an admission that one girl, four guys is not the right ration in 2016. Also, am I the only one noticing the irony in that the two female Titans in "Rebirth" are the ones DC once though so little of that they (i.e. Winick) killed them off casually via a Superman robot in "Graduation Day". Lilith never even came back from that and we only saw her again as zombie in Blackest Night.

[long_silence]

Well on the plus side Bumblebee and Dawn Granger are part of the cast as well.

4 women to 7 men still isn't a great ratio

[locuatico]

I think it is covered by the Irony of DC writing a book about the team they thought so little of that they actually retconned out after you had books saying they had existed.

[thosefew]

You know, Dick's also a fairly common insult. You might not want to jump to the conclusion your cover's been blown so quickly.

[adnor]

So Wally's memories are now from the N52? Because in Rebirth he remembered the old DCU.

[coldfiredragon]

That would be somewhat consistent with the way they worked Barry's memories in Fladhpoint wouldn't it? He acclimated to the world and his memories synced up, makes sense that Wally's memories would change now that he's no longer stuck in the speed force.

[adnor]

Yeah, you're right, I forgot about that.

[firstmoonie]

His memories are a mix of everything. He still remembers Linda so probably this is a plot point.

[tigerkaya]

On the cover for a moment Aqualad looked like Korra.

[icon_uk]

Garth has his aspirational heroes too! :)

[lieut_kettch]

Well, Garth IS a water-bender, after all.

[bradygirl_12]

Yeah, I hate that Nu52 Robin outfit. Looks like they're deliberately designing to be leagues away from his original, like the original is something to be ashamed of. Sheesh!

But I'm happy to see that (hopefully) they're fixing the Titans. Dick without his time as leader of the Titans? No! And the friendships made there are important to all the characters. Poor Donna needs SOME stability in her life as she suffers from Shifting Origin Disease. :)

[shadowpsykie]

it looked like all it took was a touch of their hands to Jolt his memory... "I know these hands... so gentle... yet firm... i remember the night... wally?"

[zylly]

Wally's new costume is awesome. Flash colors, Kid Flash aesthetic. Perfect.

And I'm still oddly amused by Roy's trucker hat.
