#this post is about cissie king jones and grant emerson!!

[tylerhourman-remaking]

theres some characters that i firmly think should have stories that culminate in them no longer being superheroes. but comics are so allergic to ending a character's story a la jack knight or to having an important extended cast nowadays that they cant fathom having these characters be meaningful after they take off the mask if they arent eventually going to put it back on

DC Team titles I’d publish

So I did a post about the Batman titles I’d love to write/have DC publish so I thought maybe I’d do more? expand into Team books I’d like to see/do.

Justice League:

Earths greatest heroes, here to defend the world and sometimes the universe from evil. centering around the core 7 (Batman, Superman,Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman, and the Martian Manhunter) the League gets technical support from Oracle. In a controversial move, distrusted by some, Batman brings Dick Grayson in to serve as the permanent vice-chairman. A rotating cast of DC B-list characters and new characters. regularly guest strings from JL reserve members, particularly, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Firestorm, Hawkman, Atom, Blue Beetle and Booster Gold. Yearly team up with the JSA for Thanksgiving

JSA:

The oldest and largest team. Generally no single issue will focus on the whole team but rather spot light one character or a relationship between two characters (maybe 3). Stories will cover WWII generation heroes (Jay Garrick, Alan Scott, Ted Grant, Queen Hippolyta, and Carter Hall) facing the passing of time, the changing world and the nature of their own long lives. Teen heroes, Courtney Whitmore and Jakeem Thunder trying to find their feet and be young people in the oldest team. reformed villains, Black Adam and Icicle fighting to win over former enemies and right past wrongs. Legacy heroes like Sandy Hawkins, Rick Tyler, Grant Emerson, Albert Rothstein, and Michael Holt trying to live up to their names. And misfits like Power Girl and Captain Marvel who aren’t totally sure they belong, but also with a feel maybe thats true everywhere. 

Young, Just Us:

Every parent looks for way to entertain their kids and get them out of the house, doubly so for a super parent. So when Batman promises his (youngest) son Damian a super secret Justice League base for his own team, Robin might have had vision of glory, but Batman was thinking more a club house. Robin is joined in the run down former first JLA headquarters in Happy Harbor by Jon Kent (Superboy), Jai and Iris West (the speed twins), Lian Harper (Speedy), Cerdian (Aqua-boy), Robby Long (Darkstar), Mar’i Grayson (Nightstar), Luke McDunnagh  (Offspring). Damian is brimming with enthusiasm to whip this rag tag team of tweens into a fighting force, but his friends are more pumped about having a club house. 

Super Sons: United Against the World:

When your parents are the most powerful heroes in the world the pressure can be high. Centering on Damian Wayne, Jon Kent, and their friends Billy Batson and the fast talking show off wannabe Romeo, son of Zatanna and John Constantine, Zachary Zatara. regular guest stars, Colin Wilkes and Freddy Freeman. Adventures squeezed in between sleep overs, movie marathons, games of truth or dare, and just trying to figure out how to be an average middle schooler and have a cape. 

Teen Titans:

They’re not kids! they’re responsible young adults! well kinda. With their very own shiny new Titans tower in San Fransisco Bay, Tim Drake (Robin) is out to prove his team can totally handle being solo heroes without adult oversight, but his team mates sure don’t make it easy. Joined by Kon-el (Superboy) Cassie Sandsmark (Wonder Girl), Bart Allen (Impulse), Wally West (Kid Flash), Cissie King-Jones (Arrowette), Jackson Hyde (Aqualad), Jaime Reyes (Blue Beetle), Conner Hawk (Green Arrow) and Miguel Barragan (Bunker). More Young teenage heroes come and go as the Teen Titans struggle to save the world, be taken seriously, deal with romance and teenage drama, and manage to do their homework.

The Titans:

Old sidekicks never fade away. Now in their late 20s and early 30s the New Titan Titans gang is reunited. Dick Grayson (Nightwing), Roy Harper (Arsenal), Donna Troy, Wally West (The Flash), Garth (Tempest), Rachel Roth (Raven), Victor Stone (Cyborg), Koriand'r (Starfire) and Garfield Logan (Beast Boy). They’re older but maybe not that much wiser, out of their Titans Tower in New York City they fight crime, save the world, and struggle to deal with parenthood, and adulting. Joined by an ever changing cast of experienced heroes their own age (Jessie Quick, Flamebird) old allies (Pantha, Red Star) and heroes in their late teens and early 20s who need a little bit of guidance. Can the team negotiate their often rocky history and stay together? or will the history of relationships, betrayal and drama rip apart their makeshift family all over again? 

The Doom Patrol:

In the 1950s Cliff Steele was a stunt man and race driver, till it all went horribly wrong. From 1956 till 1964 he was Robotman, a makeshift hero on a makeshift team. in 1964 it all went horribly wrong, and Cliff went into safe mode. Cliff slept a dreamless sleep for 54 years till he was awoken by a band of misfit teenage meta humans on the run. Everyone Cliff has ever known is dead, and he’s a rusting hulk that might be obsolete in the world of iPhones. Cliff might not understand the brave new world but he’s gonna stick up for his new teenaged charges, punch back as hard as he gets hit, and maybe just maybe be a hero one more time. 

The New Teen Titans: Revisited:

set in the early to mid 1980s a look back at untold stories of the New Teen Titans era. Set in 1980s NYC deals with story lines the original book wasn’t able to, like Jericho’s struggle with his sexuality and coming out as gay, Roy Harper’s struggle with drug use, etc. showing off an optimistic time of big hair and flashy hero costumes while addressing the problems of the 1980s from drugs to AIDS, all while saving the world. only semi-canon so characters can grow and change and not be bond by the results in the main timeline, maybe it all happened and just got reconed.

The Titans of Tomorrow: The Future’s Set

set in a possible future 10-15 years from now. Tim Drake (Batman) Kon El (Superman), Bart Allen (Flash) and Cassie Sandsmark (Wonder Woman) make up the core of the Justice League with older heroes, Aquaman, Green Arrow, Cyborg and Raven. A major war lead to the deaths of most of the Justice League, Titans and the JSA being lost in time. Forced to grow up and take over the once light hearted former Teen Titans became much more serious. However maybe now at last things have settled down and they can start to think about their lives, get in touch with who they are out of costume. Regular guest stars Damian Wayne (Nightwing) and Jon Kent (Apollo) 

Return to Earth 2:

Set in the late 1970s it’s the return of classic pre-Crisis Earth 2. Staring the JSA and their children, Infinity, Inc. the book focuses on the struggle of an older generation dealing with aging, struggling to let go, to deal with a changing world, and treat their kids like adults. Meanwhile Infinity Inc handles changing social norms with Todd Rice (Obsidian) coming out to the team at a time when that was far more controversial. Can they earn the respect of their parents generation and the publics and take over as the new hero team? does the JSA ever want to retire?

World’s Finest: Trinity 

A book all about the joint adventures of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman. Ranging from world saving adventures to helping Ka and Pa Kent bring in that year’s harvest. Some comics will focus on different Trinity sidekicks, like Kon, Tim, and Cassie or Dick, Donna, and Kara.
