Beast boy has had an unfortunately ill luck misfortune in the last two years. First he almost died and lost an eye to Deathstroke. Then lost his entire essence entity, because of Doctor Hate. Please DC. Have mercy and no more misery for Gar.
Also Amanda Waller took over the Hall of Justice and now going to use it for her new headquarters. She partly won, in her goal of getting people to doubt and mistrust
superheroes.

Date: 2024-01-31 12:15 am (UTC)I feel like we're headed to a Civil War scenario, but just like both of Marvel's Civil War events it doesn't work well when one side is too cartoonishly evil. If any Justice League level heroes side with Waller despite her actions it's going to harm their character pretty badly.
Peacemaker is fine because he doesn't lose anything by being loyal to Waller or the government. There's plenty of characters who could grow and get exposure from being attached to her side. I'm worried from the solicits that Roy and/or Ollie might join up, and that would be a mistake in my opinion.

(Which is not to say DC wouldn't try it. There's a real, um, range of quality in the scripting of their "events" in the last five years or so.)

Feels like she's been replaced with her Arrow-verse counterpart, who was willing to nuke a city to kill a dozen guys on super steroids.

Date: 2024-01-31 02:25 pm (UTC)But my problem with all this is, AMANDA WALLER IS CORRECT ABOUT THE TITANS. The Titans trusted Raven, and her evil side got out (somehow). Now they're trusting her again, right after they just learned her evil half was working with Waller, and that she was responsible for turning Beast Boy into Garro. They're assuming that Raven has her evil side contained back in her gem, despite not seeing it happen, and despite the obvious problem that the gem seemingly did nothing the last time. No immediate questioning. No quarantine. No nothing. Hell, with Dick being Bruce's kid you'd think he'd have already kicked off some plan to put Raven in a coma or something. But no, let's blindly trust the person who has not only BETRAYED THE TITANS BEFORE ON ACCOUNT OF BEING POSSESSED, but is also almost singularly responsible for tanking their public image.
DC is telling us that the mass-murdering Fascist is correct, at least about the Titans if nothing else. And the Titans are our heroes. Do you see how that's a bad look?

"Assassination Coordinates"... as the insufferable tech billionaire likes to say.
(Also there's just something funny about any alleged "mastermind" going out of their way to antagonize Nightwing. The guy is capable of just about anything Batman is and he's as liked within the hero community as Superman and Alan Scott. I have problems with the current Nightwing run but watching the full force of the superhero community come out when Dick gets kidnapped was not one of them.)
