(Nightwing in JLA/Titans #2)

One of my favorite quotes ever! JLA/Titans does a great job at really getting to the core of the difference between the two organizations. To be a member of the JLA is something to be proud of. It's about putting the safety of the many, of the world first. To be a member of the Titans is to have a group of people who will love you and protect you, would do anything to save you, while also saving the world. It was a place for the kids and teens and disenfranchised to feel safe and cared for. No kid with a perfect life joins a cause like this, they're all escaping something and the Titans provides that safe space to escape to.

I love the JLA, this is in no way a bash on them. I think they're important, and when you factor in the Titans "team is family" mentality they cover a gaping hole the Titans would leave if they were the only team.

But this "the team is family and will protect each other no matter what" is a huge part of what makes the Titans MY team. It's not perfect, and it often causes more problems than it fixes. And sometimes, the bonds they have can be too much to overcome when faced with extreme loss (Graduation Day and the dissolution of the Titans), but they always come back to it. The ones who need that family, that connection will always be there when needed because the others would be there for them.

All I could think about when I saw these was Dick coming across them and buying them in bulk to randomly stick on his siblings. Maybe he was just utterly exhausted one night during the whole Bruce-being-lost-in-time thing and got them impulsively.

And then he just. Gave them out after patrol.

It ended up sticking (pun 100% intended), with Steph and Tim getting their own (hers in purple) and randomly slapping them on people. Duke joins in eagerly once in the family.

Cass always manages to stick them on with the recipient none-the-wiser.

It ends up developing into a game for all of them, trying to stick as many ridiculous shiny gold star stickers as they can on the others before being caught.

At some point one of them ends up almost by habit sticking one onto one of the Teen Titans and it ends up becoming a thing there as well.

Bruce is just about ready to rip his hair out once he starts spotting them in the JL too.

Do you think the general public in the dc universe knows all the superpowers of each hero in their own city (or the bigger heroes). I just thinking, heroes probably don’t advertise their powers or what abilities they have so the flashier and more used powers are more well known, but the subtle, or not outward powers are probably more obscure knowledge or speculated on.

Just imagine like people making Wiki articles or known powers of each hero and getting in debates of what powers so of them have. Like on Reddit there is a long ongoing article of weather or not Superman has super-hearing and x-ray vision or has echolocation. Like when Batman first showed up some people adamantly thought he was a shadow demon or could control darkness, and there still resents of that with like people trying to spread ‘gotcha facts’ that Batman can actually control clouds and that is why it’s always overcast in Gotham. Or like ‘Top 10 Superpowers you didn’t know these Justice Leaguers had’ videos and on there is like, “Martian Manhunter has Telepathy, there has been reports from people who he has saved of him talking to them in their mind while saving them.” Even misconceptions of what group a hero is a part of. Like some people adamantly believe Starfire is a Super just from a different family and that’s why her powers are just slightly off, like they confidently believe that Tamaraneans is just the group of Kryptonians she is from and refuse to do any research or listen to new information.

Just the general public in the dc universe speculating on things about the heroes that wouldn’t be as well know or known really at all by the general public.

Cheesyyyyyyy (but I love it)

It’s so interesting to see where the artist placed certain characters. Like Roy all the way in the back?? As if Roy’s daughter didn’t call Dick ‘uncle’??? What is Dinah doing all the way back there??? Why is she there in the first place? Two superman’s for what reason? This was before Jon became superman!! Tim all the way in the very front, but the titans are all background characters???

Now that the original Titans are older, every once in a while they'll hang out with their mentors and idols in the League, perhaps someone busts out some substances that can inebriate the mixed-up group, and the Titans, as a group will share a horrifying story of something insane they did as kids, all burst into laughter and not realize for a solid five minutes that the adults in the room have sobered up and gone a little solemn.
