Tim Drake is forced to step out from behind his keyboard when an international organization seeks to capture or kill super-powered teenagers. As Red Robin, he must team up with the mysterious and belligerent powerhouse thief known as Wonder Girl and a hyperactive speedster calling himself Kid Flash in TEEN TITANS #1, by Scott Lobdell and artists Brett Booth and Norm Rapmund.

WHAT. WHAT IS THAT.

I don't believe I've ever been gladder not to be a Cassie Sandsmark fan. BELLIGERENT. POWERHOUSE. THIEF. I DON'T EVEN.

And, hey, Tim's the one who inherited the hacker genes! In the absence of Oracle!Babs, duh. *haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaates*

So Tim's okay and Steph is still unannounced!

I HATE DC SO MUCH.

... I actually kind of like a lot of those. Especially the Red Robin one. I mean, the wings are tacky as fuck, but it still looks way better than the current Red Robin costume. The other ones, I'm undecided on.

That having been said, "Belligerent powerhouse thief"? The fuck? Also, IDEK what they're trying to do with Tim's origin here.

I think it looks silly on Tim. He's the one among the Robin who's always been the most interested in how practical his costume was, and this strikes me as massively impractical. It seems too whimsical for Tim.

Wonder Girl's origin, I don't even. Plus, with the stars on her costume, I can't even be sure it's just Cassie; maybe she's supposed to be a fusion of Donna and Cassie!

I think they're... retconning the Robin out of Tim's origin? And making him either a geek with no link to the superhero comm at all, either at best Batman's internet/information support. (Like I said: Oracle.)

That is a point.

Yeah, IDEK what's going on there. It's weird.

I can maybe see how they might pull that off, but it'd be difficult. I have no idea why they decided to retcon him as Robin, especially if he's going to be doing exactly what Babs was.
