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?
But
we didn't get to vote this time!
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.

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.
I've never seen Starfire as shy, in any of her incarnations.
In the Teen Titans cartoon, she was rather naive and even innocent, after a fashion, but she was never shy. She was boisterous, energetic and outgoing.
The real differences between cartoon Starfire and comics Starfire, to me, was they all but removed her sexuality and they toned down her aggression.
Even more reason for it to be unsettling, then. I've never watched the cartoon, just reading discussion of people who think Perez Starfire is "cool art" where I'm thinking definitive canon.
