Got that ? After DC revealed these titles to us , DiDio and Lee were hush - hush but uncoerced to divulge certain details . Here ’s what they said .
Judging from the Teen Titans nontextual matter , the team is made up of characters who are mysteriously alter or appear wholly raw . What can we bear from this Titans roster ?
Jim Lee : I think of all the book number out this September , Teen Titans has probably the most miscellany of what exist before . We ’re really activated to have Scott Lobdell aboard — he ’s a veteran who ’s had a lot of experience crafting chronicle with lots of unlike personalities . He ’s building a mythology that gives you a family feel . He ’s tackle this by the horns , constantly emailing us new idea . Titans is an important enfranchisement Quran , and Scott ’s reenergizing it with unexampled character .
Dan DiDio : One of the things we ’re tie to do is bring in a more vernal feel across the full descent . When we have a Christian Bible about adolescent , we require it to feel like it ’s a book about teenager .
Kid Flash , Superboy , and Wonder Girl are part of the Titans roster , but they do n’t front on the button look like themselves .
Doctor of Divinity : All of these character have account with the DC Universe that existed before the team is build , but it might be just more or less different . But I think in capturing the voice and the purport of these characters , I retrieve they ’re on the dot who hoi polloi think they are .
JL : There are proceed to be a mickle of surprises .
DD : I think you ’re looking at every one of the former Robins to have a material vitrine Good Book , and this will be the primary showcase for Tim Drake .
likewise , Hawk and Dove are criminal offence - fighters with a lot of chronicle . Can you give us some breath about what we ’ll see in H&D ?
JL : A lot of people still have fond computer memory of Rob Liefeld ’s run on Hawk & Dove , and it felt real fitting to bring him back . The guy has a terrible amount of enthusiasm for what he does , and we really expect Hawk & Dove to benefit from that vim . He and Sterling have really brought the impulse that you require to set up a Holy Writ .
How did you levy Rob for this labor ?
JL : I texted him .
Ah , that all hit good sense !
JL : I keep in impinging with all the simulacrum partners , but Rob and Sterling were enthusiastic to do this before we had the fall plans . We figured bring it back in September was the best time .
With Static Shock , you ’re bring in on foresightful - prison term Milestone author ( andcurrent Xombi scribe ) John Rozum on board . Is this mostly a Static showcase or will we be watch the greater Milestone universe ?

Doctor of Divinity : John and Scott McDaniel are indite together , and Scott ’s institute a great dynamic energy to his art . One of the primary things we ’ve done with Static — just to show that we ’re set him a small other than — is to take him out of the Dakota scope and set him firmly in New York City . There ’s a opportunity you ’ll see other Milestone characters , but we really want to make Static a main paladin of the DC Universe .
Paul Levitz is synonymous with the Legion of Superheroes , but DC ’s issue many unlike iterations of the Legion . Can you give us some hints about what Paul has planned ?
DD : The good news on this is that we ’ve had a lot of positive chemical reaction to what ’s going on with Paul on Legion of Superheroes , and he ’s got a very distinctive expressive style that is really something that spiel to long - time Legion fan . I ’m well-chosen to say we ’re going to be continuing with a lot of the direction and flavor he ’s sic currently on the run . That ’s credibly one of the book you ’ll see the least amount of alteration taking place , other than the deduction of the characters in Legion Lost .
Let ’s babble Legion Lost — is there a connexion to Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning ’s miniseries of the same name froma few years back ?
DD : The [ newfangled book ’s ] rubric is Legion Lost , but that ’s where the similarities terminate with the Legion Lost that came before . What you ’re going to get hold out is that this Legion is lost in present time with no way to get back to the future — this is a squad of Legionnaires who are immobilise on Earth with a very specific missionary post to action . They ’re not certain how to do it given the parameter of how the world subsist right now .
