One of the big topics at last week’s comic book discussion at my local shop was a love of the Teen Titans and the “growing up” of DC sidekicks.
Dick Grayson became Nightwing and even Batman for a time. Cyborg is on the new Justice League. Tim Drake (Red Robin) is the new leader of the DC New 52 Teen Titans. Starfire has hooked up – literally – with Jason Todd and Roy Harper in Red Hood and the Outlaws.
So where is Raven? The beautiful half demon heroine created by the legendary Marv Wolfman and George Perez needs a role in the New 52. As we lovingly reflected on the Titans (then and now) and suddenly I realized no one mentioned the dark lady of the New Teen Titans.
What popped into my brain and out of my mouth was “she’d be great in Justice League Dark!” Some of my fellow Titans agreed so this is my plea to DC – what a great fit for a beloved Titan who graduate to join John Constantine, Madame Xanadu, Deadman, Shade and Zatana?
And with our beloved Raven comes her father, Trigon, and maybe a new romantic start with Beast Boy?
