GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

That's his super-power?

ETA: My question about this episode is, what happened to Arsenal?

Hey, it's Arsenal! Hi, Arsenal!

So, now we've got a group of super-powered teens with a chip on their shoulders and no allegiance to anyone, plus Arsenal as the most experienced member. I could see this ending badly. Or being really awesome. Or both. Though I have to think it's a better result than them working for Luthor.

I may have actually cheered outloud when Godfrey started reading the Ambassador the riot act.

So. The big Batman spoiler that’s all over the web? Thoughts?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh good lord: that explains the tenor of my comic/art dash. I can't wait to find out the full deal.

I have no idea why they decided to leave him as Robin during the reboot if they were just going to kill him off.

I haven't read any of the books with him in it, so I don't really have a dog in the fight, but it seems nonsensical to me.

PC- Hah!

Grant Morrison is leaving the Bat-books soon. And he isn’t going to let a pesky little reboot get in the way of the story he wants to tell on his own schedule.

YJ:

So Jaime in the scarab's "head" is absolutely hilarious.

Interesting use of the Blue Beetle mythos to fix things. They took the comics and went sort of sideways.

It's so unsettling to see people say "You can't do that to Starfire because she used to be a shy teen heroine" when I'm thinking you can't do that because even though she was a former slave, sex was always about love and fun (I do wonder if there had been Ultimate Teen Titans (yeah, I know) if she'd have been a sex slave, or if I just missed those references because I haven't reread those stories in a million years and sexual assault was obvious (I did get that Tara was sexually active--I wasn't totally blind).

I wonder why they made the shift for the cartoon that they did, but although she was supposed to be a wet dream walking her current costume (at least in front) covers a shade more flesh and teases more porn.
