Yeah, definitely another of the New 52's weirder moves. Don't get me wrong, PE did a few things right imo. I thought it made WAAAAY more sense just making Wonder Woman the actual daughter of Zeus, and ginger Wally's Rebirth suit was freakin' GENIUS! but 80-90% of the time, they just do weird things with the characters that make you question (no pun intended) whether they are the characters they claim to be.

Like what they did with Maxima. She is younger, wears more clothes, and turns out a lesbian, or at the very lest a bisexual leaning towards women and a complete opposite of her previous version. Originally she was a eugenics obsessed ruler who wanted to find the perfect mate to produce superior offspring. Now she's a teen who ran away from her planet cause she has no desire to have kids, at least with a male. I think they ruined her character. Not even just the sexuality but really her temperament is so different.

Hot Spot? How so? I mean it's not too weird for some of the stories I've read. Isn't Jon Kent a human/alien hybrid too? And human/alien hybrids were basically the plot of the entire first two seasons of Ben 10: Alien Force. I actually think Alan Albright is a complete ripoff of Hot Spot. I mean, they look exactly the same in their human form (the TV version of Hot Spot anyway) AND they have half/alien fiery forms AND their alien half comes from their dad. And I think that's pretty far from the only thing they stole from Teen Titans.

Really? I actually think the Supergirl show actually makes it more likely that she will appear in YJ, because before it she wasn't NEARLY as popular so I think DC would want to capitalize on it. Plus, we've got two live action Supermans, Flashes, "kind of" Batmans, and soon to be Nightwings. Plus we're going to have two Nightwings and Beast Boys in Titans and YJ:O on the streaming service simultaneously. Don't see why they wouldn't want to throw Supergirl in the mix to get more exposure and cash in on it.

I dunno, I think Robin just doesn't like recruiting new members. It seems like he's one of those "enough but nothing more" people who just wants to do everything with as little numbers as he can just for the recognition or to prove a point. That would explain why he took forever to officially recruit Aqualad to the team, and refused to consider Power Girl when Beast Boy recommended her. One thing I like about Beast Boy in this is that they've stayed faithful to a certain aspect of his character. He knows when they're in over their heads and is not afraid to ask for extra help if the situation demand. Heck, I'd even say he's the voice of reason much of the time, since Starfire's so passive.

But you know Damien's not the leader now, right? At least, I don't think so. Stafire nicked his but to the side and took charge on that Aqualad mission.
