Titans?

[BeyondGotham]

Any talk of the Titans being in the 2nd season of JL?? I would like to see Nightwing in an Ep...perhaps even bring YJ into it...See Robin fighting again...

If there having the JGA this season, I see no reason why the Titans or a similar team shouldn't appear next season. Also, a cool companion piece to Legends might be an apearence by the JLU, kinda like that DC: One Million storyline.

I'd like to see YJ... :)

Personally, I'd love to see the JLU meet the JL. It would be terrific to see the Supermen working together and have Terry McGinnis see Bruce at his prime. A Titans crossover could be awesome too. That would showcase how far from under Batman's (pardon the pun) wing Nightwing has come.

:wakko:

A team-up with the Titans would be cool (I'd prefer it to Young Justice, :yawn: ), but it's unlikely that we would get the actual team. Sure, we have Nightwing, but there's no Kid Flash (Wally's the only Flash), no Tempest/Aqualad, no Donna Troy/Wonder Girl, and no Aresenal/Speedy.

In fact, it would have to be a major reworking of the concept...kind of like the job that the creative team did on the Justice League itself...

I rather see more villains. We already have 7 heroes who need their air time.

Perhaps a reorganized Titans could act as villains, without Nightwing's knowledge. If he was used in their villainous machinations, perhaps he would feel used and this would lead to his retiring as Nightwing.

Potential roster:

Nightwing
Changeling (We don't know that he doesn't exist)
Cyborg (ditto)
Supergirl
Starfire (for good measure, though they'd have to cover her up a little)

Although I would love to see Nightwing and the Titans in the Animated Universe, it might be more managable to deal with Young Justice instead.

To introduce the Titans into JL, the writting staff would either have to
A) establish that all of the members have existed in the animated universe already...

or B) introduce all of the Titans (except Nightwing) as new characters, which would take up a lot of airtime. That would be cool, but the idea of the Titans starting out as the "sidekicks" of the members of the JL would be very hard to put into place.

I think that the charm and interest of having a group of young heroes in an episode of JL would be the connections that they share w/the senior team.

Young Justice might be easier to handle in that regard IF the roster was very small and a couple of the members were already established characters. For example, I wouldn't mind Robin and Supergirl as members with Impulse (as an already established hero or a brand new character making his first appearance). Those three characters would be very close to the roster of the founding members of YJ in the comics, with a little gender switching going on with Supergirl instead of Superboy.

Actually, neither team would really work: it would involve a lot of adding teen versions of characters, which would make the Justice League members appear really old. This is bad for characters like Wonder Wonder, who are supposed to be new.

(Granted, Batman and Superman are supposed to be older, but do we really need more guys with "S" and Bat symbols on their chest? Batman already has three young proteges and Supergirl is enough--we don't need Superboy too.)

What if the creative team created a Titans team that was different from both the Teen Titans and Young Justice? They could add some of the abandoned character designs (Nightshade, the Question, etc.) and feature Nightwing as the leader. Starfire, Changling, and Cyborg would be welcome, of course.

Batman and Superman wouldn't seem any older than they did in their own series when Batman was hanging w/3 junior partners and Superman was teaming up w/Supergirl.

And I'm with you about the whole Superboy thing. Supergirl would be enough. I don't think Robin, Supergirl and Impulse would "age" our heroes too much. It would be a lot simpler to use characters that some viewers are familiar with (like Robin and S-Girl) and maybe one new character (like Imp, whose origin and/or background could perhaps be worked into the storyline) than introducing a whole new team of good guys.

Personally, I don't see the point of creating a team called the "Titans" and then stocking the roster w/heroes who have never been in the Titans. Why not just create a new team w/a different name? But then I don't see the point in a team of guest stars that aren't "connected" to the members of the League in some way. It would just seem to add more drama.
