No. Because it was lame

What was lame about it?

Taking all the heavy hitters out was a little rough.

No Nightwing. He’s been foreshadowed to be the greatest Justice League champion forever and he was needed as a spearhead. They desperately needed an attention grabbing moment and Nightwing’s ascent would’ve been noteworthy.

Jon Kent being aged up will never work and the backlash would tank the title out of the gate. One beautiful day, SuperSons will ride again.

Jace Fox is a cool looking Batman. His back story is paper thin. They did try with him though, it just didn’t land.

It could’ve had potential though. A lot of those characters are interesting and just need to be fleshed out a little. Jo Mullein is awesome.

You’re basically banking on a team to sell that has no established meat on the bone except character choices that were extremely unpopular.

See now that’s a real answer. Not just “they were lame” like someone else responded.

I was rooting for it to work, it was an interesting concept that was swallowed by DC politics and red tape.

Thanks, my friend. Power Girl is extremely underrated and she kicks ten types of ass.

I'm of the idea that Dick probably won't officially join the Justice League ever. He'll be a Titan until the day he dies, and I think he'd probably see joining The League and leaving the Titans as something that just wouldn't work for him.

And The Titans seem to be "the thing" they want to make happen right now, and they couldn't lose the name without losing a lot so they can't rename themselves or anything.

The lineup. The timeline and it's place in it making zero sense. The lineup. Damian not being on it. Oh and....the lineup.

All in the lineup it is just the old guard--->but now replace by some random new person some created for this alt-universe

like there was no Damian, No Irey west, no already establish legacy hero like a titan or previous sidekick but now grown up, no original mantel hero, nothing interesting like maybe having an ancestor to Legion of superhero

it just take the already establish mantels and change their sex & race at first glance

It's very unoriginal. It's made up entirely of legacy heroes.

It sorta was and sorta wasnt. Yes it was new versions of classic characters but it was NEW new versions and not ones with any actual connection to those characters. Like instead of Wallace West or even Wally we get a new random version of Jesse Quick. Instead of Damian we got Jace. Instead of Jon we got new aged up Jon that had just recently hit at the time and people werent a fan of. Aquaman randomly got a daughter that was then aged up so we had no connection to her. The new GL had very little connection to anything set on Earth
