Sean McKeever posts an image from this week’s DC Nation column, knowingly asking, “I wonder what all this could mean??”
I have a few questions of my own. First off, the guy in white, next to Blue Beetle … is that Kid Eternity? Also, who do you think the blacked out characters are? And finally, is Kid Devil giving anyone else a Nightcrawler vibe?

More importantly, perhaps, is where’s Robin? The new characters look awfully…short. That does look like Kid Eternity, whom if I recall correctly, was killed off in the first issues of JSA.

First off… Kid Eternity?!?!?! Best choice for the Titans since Johns left. Second, are the Titans getting younger, or is it just me? It seems to me that Wonder-Girl is the oldest Titans left, so maybe it’s time to bring some old fogies back in. Third… where’s Ravager?

Be Static! C’mon, be Static!

Also, why are these teenagers smiling? They’re living in a book edited by Dan Didio, and thus certain to be dismembered, raped, and degraded.

Why is Ms. Martian White? I can take a guess, but I’m behind on my reading. I hope a new issue of Teen Titans is in my latest order. Don’t like the new kid Devil costume (if that is to be it), but I love that Blue Beetle is included in the group. It’s not a shock that he made it in. He was really a great guest character in recent issues, very funny.
Dude with the sash? Don’t know him. Is he 70s Stage Actor Kid?

Oh big deal. I regularly read DareDevil and I always get a Batman vibe from there.

I’m gonna guess Damien and Super Girl as Bats and Supes aren’t represented here.

Don’t read too much into their stances, positions, sizes, etc. The pictures look to be individual drawings made to stand next to each other.
From left to right:
Kid Devil, Blue Beetle, Kid Eternity, Miss Martian, Wonder Girl, UNKNOWN #1, UNKNOWN #2.
UNKNOWN #1 could easily be an iteration of Robin and I like the earlier request of UNKNOWN #2 being Static.

Also, the UNKNOWN #1 / #2 are silhouettes and can easily be fake-outs. If UNKNOWN #1 is a Robin, I like the Damien suggestion, which would explain it if he is “short” (there I go, reading too much into the heights).
If the silhouettes are accurate, UNKNOWN #2 would not be Supergirl unless she got a new costume. There is a collar, which Supergirl does not have. It could be Mary Marvel, but I’d prefer someone a bit more obscure.

I was annoyed as it was that the team lacks any classic Titans for the purposes of the much-maligned Titans series. And angry that both Bart and Conner are dead. But a Teen Titans without Robin, too? Is there really an audience for a Teen Titans book with this cast?
Me, I would rather see an ongoing Teen Titans: Year One book. McKeever’s run has been pretty good but TTY1 has been better.

Yeah, that’s Kid Eternity. That’s how he looked when Geoff Johns brought him into Teen Titans for five minutes. He SHOULD be on the roster; given how frequently Titans die, I imagine he’ll have a lot to keep him busy.
June 26th, 2008 at 4:31 pm
Squashua, I don’t think that’s a collar. I think that’s the character’s cape bunching as it falls over the shoulder.

The one on the right looks like it could be Spoiler.

This is depressing – it’s bad enough my second favorite Titan has left the team, but now it looks as if my favorite is also a goner.
Bah….
