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!
Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

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.

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.

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

Looks like Scola isn't going to get his wish regarding a Dick/Slade showdown.
The beginning was very exposition-y. The action was great, though.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Man, counting tonight's, I am 3 episodes behind. I gotta remedy that.

Young Justice is only second to the Winchesters for me in terms of feels--the amount of crying it provokes in me is...great.
