"LET'S PUT A NET AROUND THE MOON, AND PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!"- Diana Prince, 1998
EH love the reference 😂
I don't think DC's space characters include an ALASKAN BULL WORM!
Ah yes PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE

"Dude's gonna take on Darkseid one of these days". Straight up predicted Infinite Fronteir.
How ironic, a story called Titans Hunt doomed the original Titans, while a storyline of the exact same name brought the team back together in Rebirth... before DC decided to kill it again. DC Comics: if we're not shooting ourselves in the foot, then something's going wrong!
Oh, those innocent days when Wally was just erased from history and not character-assassinated.
Tom King
In what way has he been character assassinated, I dont keep up with comics much these days and this is the first ice heard of it
@@HoodedLord watch Linkara's Heroes in Crisis review
@@DeathGodRiku Thanks man I will
And then rerailed…
Another Fun-Filled Fact: The reason for Terra's portrayal during the Wolfman-Perez run was actually due to events going on over at Marvel during that time. See, the X-Men had just welcomed Kitty "Shadowcat" Pryde to their roster at the time and Wolfman even admitted that he was banking on that same perception with readers of the New Teen Titans, in order for the planned twist to work better.
But why did she first appear wearing a brown galactus helmet?
Oh rad
i gotta ask is that also why they had the 14 year old bang the 30-40 something year old man?
cause i remember kitty pryde having a crush on wolverine (though that may have been later) but at least in marvel it never really went past just a crush
@@mrroboshadow Or maybe that was just Wolfman being a degenerate.
@@mrroboshadow I never saw her have a crush on Wolvie, but she always has one for Collossis (sp). I think the whole sex aspect of Terra was to show how twisted this all was, but I feel like it seriously was unneeded and is just gross.
RIP George Perez. Thanks for everything.
Titans Together!
When there’s trouble, you know who to call. And when there’s 2 and a half hours to kill, you know what to watch
"TEEN TITANS!!!"

Fun-Filled Fact: The reason why so many readers hated Terry Long was because he was seen as a blatant self-insert of the book's writer, Marv Wolfman, who broke up with his in-story wife so he could romance Donna Troy, one of the characters he was writing (it didn't help that artist George Perez also drew Terry to resemble Wolfman, just to further the whole thing).
Man, the old days were wild. That's some fanfiction shit.
@@PosthumanHeresy Ever wondered why the largely unpopular relationship between Bruce Wayne and Barbara Gordon got the push it did in multiple slices of DC animation, in particular the tacked-on parts of The Killing Joke adaptation? Yeah...
I mean John Arbuckle was basically Jim Davis' self-insert but no one hates him
On the other hand, Arbuckle is portrayed as a constant comic relief foil for Garfield and the rest of the strip's cast, instead of a "Nice Guy" who gets to hook up with a hot teenaged superheroine, so...
@@panthergod Not to be that guy, but Yvonne Craig played Batgirl, not Barbara Eden.
I totally forgot the Beast Boy: "HEY, RUST-BUCKET! Let go of the frickin' MOON already, will ya?!" was in Technis imperative. I just recalled Linkara wanting it on a shirt.
That legit got a laugh outta me!
Raise your hand or like if you mostly got into the Titans through their animated series. That was a great show :)
Shame they get the short end of the stick. Dan Abnett tried to give Titans a second shot in Rebirth.
i did...except it was the original teen titans cartoon with kid flash, wonergirl, aqualad and speedy!
@@wildermidnight Well Young Justice took care of most of those characterizations.
Terra was one of my favorites in that one when she showed up... ;-;
Tho honestly, all the main gals (and Jinx as well) were my favorites of the cast for various reasons.
@@benwasserman8223 I loved the first two seasons but the latest season was a big step backwards for me. Not saying it was bad I just didn't enjoy it anywhere near as much. I probably would have if it wasn't for two big issues I had with it. Now they are personal biases I have so a lot might not agree. The first being that I loved watching Halo and Brion grow as characters and their romance. Yet they throw that away by the end of the season. And they do so in a way that I hate the most that I see played out way to often in comic book media. Which is they could have solved all of their drama by literally having one conversation with each other and talking about their issues. Yet the writers just have them ignore each other and refuse to talk to each other. Also didn't like how Brion entire growth as a character was thrown away at the end. Loved watching him become a better hero, team member and less hot headed. Yet at the end all of that was meaningless
2nd issue was the Will Harper and Artemis romance. I know I was expecting way to much out of Cherhire to become like a anti hero and settle down with Will and their daughter. But I was fine with that not happening. Just the last thing I wanted to see is Will and Artemis fall in love. As that just grosses me out. As for one Artemis is basically Will's sister in law. And the grosser fact is that she is literally Lian's Aunt. Also feel like another reason they had this romance happen is just so when Wally comes back. They can no have this drama around Artemis now being with Will. So that we can have her make a choice if she goes back with Wally or stays in this weird relationship with her sisters baby daddy.
The latest reboot to the DC universe makes everything canon again. Dark Nights: Death Metal ends with the world remembering everything from their entire character history. Golden age, silver age, bronze age, new 52, crises, all of it. Everything is true, even the parts that contradict the other parts.
So, hooray, the Titans you love have returned.
Wow...and that's exactly why i stopped reading the comics...awww jeez...gross
To think that Crisis on Infinite Earths was once expected to make the DCU "simpler"... I think that we can all agree that ultimately it very much failed to do such a thing.
so...a certain green lantern remembers killing a universe and being the literally biggest mass-murder in history :D I wish to see his reaction the moment after he remembers
@@MoriShep Who would that be? Hal was once thought to be Parallax and Kyle once destroyed Oa, but I don't think either situation fits your description.
Truth be told, I think it's actually a really neat idea. Editorial decided that what makes DC super heroes different from all the others is their legacy. They have a history behind them and fans who have grown up reading about their adventures. So, to defeat Perpetua, the Forge of Worlds, and the Batman Who Laughs (or whatever the balls was going on) they needed to embrace that. They were using the energy from failed and broken versions of the DC universe. The heroes realized that the only way to overcome that was to embrace all the good of the stories that have come before.
Yeah, it's kinda what happened at the end of Doomsday Clock and is even one of the explanations the Thought Robot gave for his power but I still like it. Lean on that fourth wall so hard it breaks!
You guys remember when the Titans were like this and not canon fodder for DC?
Yeah... but did Dan Didio changed that or some other dude in DC higher ups?
Or when they were actual heroes, and not selfish toddlers in one of the most hated cartoons in recent memory.
@@Launchpad05 hated by a bunch of adults who only care about themselves and their childhood, sure
@@MoojinBoi No, those fans are NOT selfish. They're tired of seeing ONE show dominating a network's entire schedule.
@@Launchpad05 That'd be CN fans then. Titans fans either enjoy ttg or just ignore it lol.
"Merch of the Titans" would be a really good name for a big sale.
The irony about Dick yelling "Would Batman do this" is the fact that I would 100% see Batman doing that. If he was stuck out in the woods with other hero's all trying to yell about their feelings and emotions. Batman even without the influence of a villain would instantly try and get out of it by blowing up the entrance to a cave and being stuck inside of it away from the emotions.
Me: Thinks about going to bed
Linkara: "Not for about 3 hrs bub!"
Boy this retrospective takes me back. It wasn't the first AT4W review I ever watched, but it was the one that turned me into a regular viewer. Watched it all the time after school.
Think I commented on this back in the Heroes in Crisis review, but a couple of my favorite Titans weren't even part of the main team all that long. They were Pantha and Baby Wildebeest. I thought they had cool designs and a half-funny half-sweet mother-son relationship.
It's kind of surprising that they haven't been brought back or rebooted in any way since Infinite Crisis. Cat girls are incredibly popular character types and given how beloved Baby Groot and Baby Yoda have become, I'm sure that people would be just as receptive to Baby Wildebeest if he was portrayed well.
Teenagers Together, Titans Forever!
Now that's a crossover id like to see. They already did a crossover with the justice league
Booyah
@Will N Agreed. They should allow for more teams to be featured. Such as introducing the Ninja Storm rangers in the Power Rangers/TMNT crossover.
Why the samri rangers though
@Will N they did? Man I haven't watched turbo or space in a good minute
18:20 Actually given Robin's age at the time "Seduction of the Innocent" came out, it would be a No-No even today.
No thats mainly Bruce Timm pushing for it.
@@jonbrewer297
You know what I find weird? Some versions of the story have Jim Gordon being around the same age group as Bruce's parents, right? If they really wanted to do an alternate universe where they got together, then why not age up Barbara to be closer to Bruce's age?
@@johnnygyro2295 probably because they couldn’t call her bat *girl*
@@JaelinBezel originally, at least, Batgirl was at least 5-10 years older than Dick, probably closer to 10, having gotten several PhD's before her first appearance, (which would mean she's probably closer to _Bruce's_ age than Dick's) and she's pretty much always depicted as being at least 2-3 years older.
Which actually makes her relationship with Nightwing a _lot_ more creepy.
@@RabblesTheBinx When Barbara first appeared in November 1966, she was 27 years old, since she was born on September 23 (as shown on the 1976 DC calendar) and got her PhD in Library Science. Fifteen years previously, she had met Clark Kent Superboy and was inspired by him to become a hero without using her powers. When Batman made his debut at 22 years old, Barbara was almost 19 when she saw a glimpse of him. This means that she is three years younger than Batman and Superman and fourteen years older than Dick. This would also mean that Clark and Bruce, by Dark Crisis in the year 2022, would be 62 years old, while Barbara is 59 years old and Dick 45 years old, at least in my head canon.
Danny Chase recently showed up in the Young Justice tv show as a...much more tragic figure
Yup 😊
What happened?

I love those biscuits. 😄
Jurgen's run was plagued by 2 things... Wolfman Fans in Denial that THEIR Titans were over even though even the staunches Wolfman era fan would admit that Wolfman going back to Raven being Evil was a sign he had burnt out on the concept. and all the executive meddling. Jurgen's run almost has alot in common with the Abnett Rebirth run where everybody else's story and decisions seemed to impact the book more then the actual creative team. To the point Abnett has pretty much admitted that his opening storyline was derailed constantly 'IE the real Villain was the Antithesis NOT Troia' and then Synder's Justice League overhauled pretty much killed the team.
Wolfman should have left after Terror of Trigon. After 60 issues, he was clearly exhausted so it would have been better to go out on a high note.
i LOVE Argent from Dan Jurgen's little run. From a snobby rich brat to geniunly wanting to be a hero. I really wish they'd get her up and running again
You know... These all-in-ones are nice, even if I also like going through the show fully anyway. It saves the hassle of trying to binge with UA-cam's stupid lack of reversing the playlist.
1:10:35 if you think the shoulder spikes are bad, in the storyline “Batman Prodigal Son” where Dick Grayson age ___ (fill in the blank) took over as Batman and in some issues he had the shoulder spikes and then other issues he didn’t (even if the story in one issue was connected to another issue) apparently his shoulder spikes were retractable and inconsistent maybe
Perhaps the Titans West didn't quite work, but it sure was better than Youngblood VS Team Youngblood.
I also scoff at the idea that continuity is confusing to new readers. I started reading comics with Spiderman right in the middle of the clone saga. Smack in the middle of that convoluted story and it was exciting to try to figure it out. Despite it's problems, I still love the clone saga because of that excitement it brought. Trying to figure out who's who and what's going on is one of the joys of continuity heavy comics. It becomes like a puzzle to put together and a hunt for all the relevant comics. One of my favourite things about being a collector of comics is finding a new connection to a story and discovering that issue.
Same. I got into Spider-Man through the 1994 Fleer trading cards and loved learning all the backstory and which issues to go out to buy.
Similarly I started the Pokémon anime with Sinnoh. I had no idea how Team Rocket had all their Pokémon, why Meowth could talk, why Ash only brought Pikachu and Aipom, or how Ash knew Brock. But that made me want to learn more not turn me off
The first comic I remember much of was Avengers 102, where we deal with Grim Reaper being Wonder Man's brother, who was the basis for Vision's brainwaves, and The Sentinels returning from investigating the sun because of an X-Men story. Talk about continuity porn...
Wow, this brings back so many memories. Although the Titans don't hold anywhere nearly as treasured place in my heart as other characters (not that I hate them, they just aren't my preference), their first series was actually the first comic I remember reading. It was the Brave and the Bold #60 with the "astounding separating man." Even back then as, a child of that generation, I found it corny as hell. Yet there was something about it that I enjoyed. I don't know if it was Nick Cardy's awesome and constantly more expressive art, or Haney's zaney scripts, but it made me have an interest in comics. And this was for somebody who was still learning English lol
I then go the Ding Dong Daddy issue, and looped back around for all their previous appearances up to that time. Mr. Twister, that surfer band from the Showcase issue, the cave boy... very good memories. I stopped reading the series when Mr. Jupiter entered the picture, but in recent years I've gone back to it and appreciate it more. Thank you for bringing back these memories, and I'm happy to hear that it was the same team (though a different era) that ignited your passion for comics too!
P.S.- Though I did enjoy both them and the Justice League at the time, both were swiftly eclipsed by the Challengers of the Unknown and especially the Doom Patrol for me. The Silver Age was such a fertile era to capture children's interests! Also, this retrospective has helped me appreciate your favorite era for the characters a lot more, though my favorite will always be the Dan Jurgens run. For some reason the New Teen Titans era never interested me...
Thank you again for tolerating an old man's expressions!
Now that I recall, the DC Archive edition of those first few issues was also what I gave to my nephew when he began to read comics! He came from the library with a volume of ASBAR, believe it or not. He got it because he liked Batman and, I suspect, Vicki Vale's... portrayal. I gave the book a once-over and, failing to discern any sort of coherent plot in it, quickly brought him back to the library where I got him the Archive edition of that, the first Captain Marvel archive, the first Showcase Presents volumes of Superman, Green Lantern and the Flash and the 2nd Volume of the "Greatest Batman Stories Ever Told" trade paperback. Perhaps it was a boomer thing for me to do, but it worked. We bonded over it and have shared our love of comics to this day!
I remember really admiring this retrospective when it first came out. I think it was because in the barely a year at most since I started watching, it was the first time that the passion from a place of joy you put into this was able to be exuded through the script. Of course you’re passionate for your work, but this was letting all the joy be seen, “This is why I love comics!” and it was beautiful.
One of the things I love about AT4W is that it's clear he gives himself a break every once in a while and reads good comics for a review.
Nice timing now.
Without spoilers, Titans fans will LOVE their chapter in “The Last Stories of the DC Universe” issue.
I read The Last Stories of the DC Universe and it was brilliant!
I read it and loved it. =)
1:22:47 ah my favorite part of event comics, the weird time-capsule of current status quos they become.
like for example, freakin Guy Gardener the WARRIOR right there on the left. I giggle whenever I see him
Also damn it dc comics we need good teen titans books again and stop killing off members of my favorite team the titans and teen titans because they deserve justice not murder or bullshit but that’s just my opinion.
TFW you're so angry about DC's handling of the Titans that you refuse to use punctuation.
@@EngineerLume lol indeed :)
@Star battle 2099 thank you ;)
7:15 - "an international organization dedicated to hate and distrust"
Q-anon?
The Titans Retrospective is a great one and just knowing so much about all these various eras of the team really just show how much fun you can have with them and what not to do when trying to make a story. Hopefully one day DC will bring back Danny Chase, as he would be a fun one to see develop.
I feel like the Jericho twist was invented solely because of his vaguely bad guy sounding name.
And I feel the same way about every time they’ve tried to make him a villain since.
Without a doubt one of your best miniseries and a superb start to your semi-annual retrospectives. It was through this that I got to know more about the Titans characters & family beyond what was seen in the 2000s animated series.

@@DigiRangerScott Fuck 'Teen Titans Go'.
Aside from certain harsh and ultimately regrettable words concerning the horrible fate of Lian Harper (which ended up being reversed during Convergence, not that it would matter since they'd go back to New 52 after that event), March of the Titans still holds up. I think a large part of that is due to the fan favorite review of JLA/Titans: The Technis Imperative, which is definitely one of the most awesome comics ever made and is certainly way better than Titans/Young Justice: Graduation Day. Someone should really make an animated movie adaptation of the Technis Imperative, preferably with the voice actors from the 2003 animated series.
It was fun revisiting the Titans, looking at both highlights like the HIVE and Tartarus, the Kingdom Come Titans, and Donna Troy vs Dark Angel and the poor editorial decisions in the latter half that led to the comic's downfall. I'm not gonna lie, it's both tragic and frustrating that DC threw away not only the entire history of the Titans but also much of the post-Crisis continuity in favor of the New 52. It seems the general idea of any franchise reboot is to throw away what came before and hope audiences will come back for crappy remakes of their favorite stories.
If Convergence, the return of Wally West, or even Dark Nights: Death Metal taught us one thing, it's this: it's still possible to acknowledge DC history while telling new stories that are just as good. Sooner or later, writers and editors will be forced to make a choice: they can constantly reboot the past just for new readers who'll inevitably be turned off by the same crappy story being told over and over again until the inevitable moment where sales have dropped to the point where only another reboot could bring them back up or they can embrace and learn from past continuities in order to build new legacies of stories and new audiences who want to know about past heroes.
I hope you'll do some more Titans related compilations soon, like Graduation Day and New 52 Teen Titans: The Culling...and maybe Cry for Justice and Rise of Arsenal. Until then, Titans Together Forever!
Batman did have shoulder spikes on his cape depending on who was drawing the book. They could have been subtle like when Kelley Jones draws Batman with his cape swept back, or more direct like Phil Jimenez here. Howard Porter was also one to really love drawing shoulder spikes in the JLA 90's run.
Going through your compilations as a first time viewer and I appreciate the opening cards explaining context for the videos
Yeah, I didn't do it for the very first one and a few new commenters were unhappy about the video/audio quality of the old video right out of the gate. XD
You do what you can lol. I remember back when that quality was the higher end on YT
Nothing better than a big chunk of AT4W content to relisten to while playing Hyrule Warriors. You're the best Linkara!
2:08:35 with the reunion of Lian and Roy Harper currently happening that future is certainly possible now
Watching the Danny chase part funnily just after the new episode of young justice where he was introduced
If Lewis watches that episode, then he would be excited to see that his favorite superhero of all time is on the show before he would be sad for Danny’s sacrifice.
Awesome. I love the Titans, mainly the TV show, but whenever you talk about them I always get excited.
@@Justine-justin The 2003 version.
I loved March of teen titans because it’s really awesome and a great retrospective and as a fan of the teen titans this was fantastic and tons of fun. 🤗
while I was watching this the first time, I had also gotten the "dark multiverse" version of the Judas Contract, that ends with Terra killing just about everybody and taking over the world. Just a weird coincidence.
I just realized that this was originally released eight years ago and suddenly felt very old.
After that ending, I guess it's a good thing titans rebirth exist. Seriously, that book made titans hunt good. Titans hunt.
Coming back to this video after a few years- that future Titans team is looking a lot more feasible! Lian's alive and maybe getting back to Roy Harper soon, Wally's kids are back including Irey West, and he even just tripped over the actually not dead kids of Tempest and Donna Troy!
I think I've made it no secret that I much prefer the 2003 animated series version of Deathstroke to the comic book's version. The Way Marv Wolfman tried to Play Slade off as a noble mentor figure and tragic figure who was being used by Terra felt really off kilter my opinion.
I agree with you Lewis, Danny Chase was wasted by the Writting Team except for Sacrificial Canon Fodder.
While I'm not really a fan of the Live Action Titans show (they REALLY Botched Trigon in my Eyes), I love Chella Man's portrayal of Jericho in that. He was the main reason I stuck through Season 2.
I'm annoyed that we haven't gotten Trade Paperback reprints for the Dan Jurgens penned Teen Titans book. That was a really refreshing read after the later declining years of Marv Wolfman's book.
I proudly have a Copy of the Technis Imperitive and YES.... It IS as Great as Lewis says it is.
The Editorial Meddling with the Second half of the 1998-2003 is just unfortunate. Nightwing and his Team mentoring a group of potential future Titans is a decent Idea, but shoving those DEO characters into stories where they weren't needed just derailed the book.
Jesse Quick's Affair storyline feels like a rejected CW script. YUCK
The Rewrite for Epsilon's identity... I have no words..... except for "ANDREW HELFER! WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!!!?????"
Graduation Day deserved to be Burned on this Show. Donna and Omen DESERVED Better.
Love this retrospective, though the contrarian in me does want to suggest Digimon Tamers as an example where the entire cast is replaced overnight and new cast is beloved (though admittedly, I ride or die for the Adventures crew, particularly first season).
Honestly, Digimon Tamers is more like a new Power Rangers team. It's kinda expected at that point, especially with the new premise (the Digidestened from Adventures would have had no issues learning how to properly digi-modify their partners if tbey had carried over to Tamers)
Mimi is a good character.
to be fair, it's not like we started off with the original cast and then a new cast came in halfway through with the intent to slowly phase out the old cast in favour of them (hell tamers didn't even take place in the same continuity)
Different universe, entirely, though. It wouldn't make any sense for the Adventures cast to be the protagonists of Tamers because it's not the same story.
I love these videos so much. March of the Titans as a whole, was so much fun.
3:30 considering that all the teams supersuits are on the floor, is Starfire naked on that cover? I dont see any cloths.
So happy to have this collected into one video, these were the first episodes of AT4W I ever watched!
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lovhaug.
I'm really glad you made this supercut. 1, I loved this mini series. 2, My Titans depression is so big right now with TITANS, the newer comics, and GO! 3, I love the Titans, they're the fucking best and I love to learn more and relearn even more about (imo) the greatest team of heroes. Ever.
As a big fan of your retrospectives I can't wait to see your other retrospectives compiled like this, especially since they're some of your best works.
This is the definitive history of the Titans
Back when you had this setup, it always looked to me like the futon was painted onto the wall, so moving in front of the bookcase was honestly so much better
Dec 2020, Wonder Woman now also has a gold form.
Jesus this Damian Dhark is unrecognizable from the one from CW
I admit I like that one more. I prefer the snarky assassin wizard over Mr. cellphone
You know it’s funny in infinite frontier right now Roy Harper is a black lantern and Darkseid is after his power so he probably will take on Darkseid by himself. Also Lian is alive again in the pages of catwoman if anybody is interested.
The superhero beat playing in beast boys headphones
"We got the beat, we got the beat…yeah, we got it"
Also, watching in 2021 and yes, Mr T transcends time
Always loved the Titans when their written well. I was just entering high school and starting to get into comics when this was going and I remember the highs and lows that made me love the characters until it was all blown up terribly in the following years. I love Robinson's run on Starman, possibly one of my favorite ongoing titles of all time, but Cry for Justice was a travesty; interesting concept that went way too far with derailing multiple characters.
these videos got me to read the titans (rebirth) because i wanted to see what this team was really like and they are know my favorite group
Donna's not a guidance counselor. Yeah, she's Donna Troy, not Deanna Troi.
I still don't get why "Dark Angel" is apparently such a bad name. Just sounds like a bog-standard "goofy but cool" name like you see in a lot of comic book characters.
It's generic as all hell, especially for a character who doesn't even RESEMBLE an angel.
@@AT4W I'm kinda surprised that you never got into who she actually is and how it ties into the Titans' mythos, though.
Absolutely loving these "ALL IN ONE" videos!!! Hope there are more to come!
honestly coming back to this i wonder why the technis imperative isnt made into a movie...then i remind myself of DC's track record with their movies and then i thank god they havent touched that story yet
Y'know, one thing I have to wonder is... with the 1996 team, it is said nine women were impregnated by the H'San Natall. We know of 5 thanks to the team we have, and after checking the wiki I learned there's a sixth who took on the villain name Scorcher, but I wonder what happened to the other three children.
Thank you linkara !! I love this retrospective !! Merry Christmas !!
Danny Chase is the cousin Oliver (Brady Bunch) of the Teen Titans. Added for the same reasons, hated by most fans and they even look alike.
Nice an early Christmas gift for this week, thanks Lewis!
Danny Chase alongside Jericho and Cyborg are my favorite Teen Titans members of all time and I hope someone in DC has Danny resurrect in future issues some day and make an appearance in the titans live action series And the animated series young justice
For me I was first introduced to the Teen Titans through a 1983 one shot produced by Keebler called - The New Teen Titans Drug Awareness special. The book was given to me in 1988 and Nightwing was missing from the title because DC couldnt use the character due to Keebler owing the rights to Dick Grayson, so Robin was replaced by a character called the Protector.
2:16:18 rewatching the retrospective and it hit me like a truck.
The team HAS a mission statement, it was outlined in issue 1.
Training and helping younger heroes to help them mature and develop their own potential. Sure it took me 11 years to realize that, but i am not a comic writer or editor who gets put on a book :/
This was the series that got me into AT4W, im glad to see it all in one vid :3c
The bat-suit with the shoulder spikes is useful if Batman runs into a giant that needs a fork.
Fun fact! That's not Kara Zor-El Supergirl! She died in Crisis on Infinite Earths #7. That's my girl, Matrix!
Wow, and I just happened to watch all of these about two weeks ago.
All I can say is, this got me into reading more Teen Titans so I can understand the run more. Aside from some dumb stuff, the run from Wolfman and Perez has been great. Course... I haven’t gotten to the decline.
Always felt the Titans got a bad rep. Not my favorite team, but man they are WAY better than most.
@@jonbrewer297 Team Titans... wow what a mistake of a team. An actual Racist who threw slurs, Morbius ripoff, a rapist, and Rob Liefield’s worst character he never created.
2:00 “I’m not talking about the animated series” And when you did, it did just slightly below your lowest-faring March of the Titans episode, and I believe there was some CID kneecapping involved there, so that’s pretty great
Well this is very informative I’m glad you made these compilations😊
IMHO the best DC event comics are the ones that bring heroes back!
Long time fan, stay safe and thank you for your art. Be well good sir
2:44:18 What's said here can also apply with the debate over the canonicity of the pre Disney+ Marvel shows, when some say "Well what does it matter if it's canon?".
I hope the Blue Skying retrospective is as seamless as this one. They really should just make Starfire Grand Ruler of Tamaraan, give us some insight into her homeworld's culture; also revive the Titans series.
I find it extremely fascinating that this comes out a few weeks after thr titans got their recognition in the death metal story!!! really great
I'm kinda surprised you didn't mention that time the Uncanny X-Men did a crossover with the Teen Titans pre-Crisis on Infinite Earths
This is awesome. Thank you so much!
Love to see a follow up retrospective on the team, or something about the stuff you skipped.
Batman with shoulder spikes: There. Sure glad I don't look stupid in this.

danny chase finally got a little more love in young justices
2:38:08 I was expecting the "There is logic in what he says." clip, but the rant is much better.

I think putting the moon back into orbit IS a Gurren Lagann plot point, so it's EQUALLY NUTS AND COOL.
well linkara was right for a spell near the end of the new 52 and into rebirth the titans got good again. then dc went bug nuts again, with dark knights metal, doomsday clock and derailing everything
26:59 that was intense dude
I think this is probably one of the best retrospectives of the 'Teen Titans' ever made. It's a shame that nowadays, when people think of 'Teen Titans', it's usually 'Teen Titans Go', which is a mockery of both the original series, and the comics as a whole. Yet, somehow it's outlasted the original show, and eclipsed the very presence of the comics. That's really depressing because The Titans deserve much better than this.
same thing to how i feel about the teenage mutant ninja turtles
@@jakeystarsuper At least The Turtles never had a 'chibi' comedy series that spits on the previous versions. Sure, it's had plenty of bad incarnations, but at least they never last very long.
@@Launchpad05 I dont even mind the idea of a chibi comedy series, if they want to make one that stays long on the air, sure great if the kids will enjoy it.
I just dont like that it has to be the freaking Teen Titans.
TTGL literally tops pushing the moon back into orbit by having a finale with UNIVERSE SCALE MECHA.
But in a setting where there's actual laws of physics, yeah, that pushing the moon feat is pretty impressive.
I hear he-man did that once.
