It ’s been sometime now since theJustice League’sgroup of former sidekick theTeen Titanscould justifiably apply the first part of their team name . Even though the squad never really get to take over the League for their mentors , a remarkable piece of art from acclaimed artistAlex Rossshows the Titans graduating to the Justice League of America .
While youthful comic fans will be conversant with the iconic Teen Titans card popularized by the 2003 inspire series andTitans , thefirst group of Teen Titans were much dissimilar . Originally the team consisted of Robin , Kid Flash , Speedy , Aqualad , and Wonder Girl . While the team ’s lineup has changed significantly over time , this core team of five has remained fantastically close throughout DC ’s history . The original Titans would even reunify after Wally West returned to persistence with DC Rebirth . Though each of these champion has been a member of the League at one time or another , they never really live up to the hope of taking over the Justice League in their mentors ' lieu in DC ’s main universe . That ’s why it ’s so satisfying to see a reality where they did just that .

In aTweet , Alex Ross shared the art for a future version of the Justice League mostly made up of former Titans with the two famous additions of Barbara Gordon ’s Batwoman and Kara Zor - El ’s Superwoman . In anotherTweet , lecturer can see that this translation of the JLA in reality comes from a risible Ross proposed titledBatboy . That serial publication would have followed Bruce Wayne ’s son in a future DC universe where the Titans have get over the Justice League of America . Keeping withRoss ' headcanon that the DC Universe cease in the seventies , this version of Dick Grayson never became Nightwing and instead stayed as Robin . In contrast , it appears as though Wally West , Donna Troy , and Garth have take over their wise man ’s mantle .
It ’s inauspicious thatBatboynever get past the proposal stage , as this edition of the Justice League alone deserve its own story . While this is almost surely best leave for an alternative universe , the irony is that the DC Universe is more poised than ever for this exact lineup to become main DC Canon . AfterJustice League # 75killed off DC ’s most famous heroes , all augury point to Nightwing taking a position of leaders in the wake of such a monumental cataclysm . If Dick desire to make a young League , there ’d certainly be no better members than his oldest friend . Most of them should be available too . Nightwing and Donna are both teaching at Titans Academy , Wally is DC ’s main Flash once again , Garth is n’t doing much of anything at the present moment , andRoy Harper just came back to life inInfinite Frontier . Even Barbara and Kara would be available , though Kate Kane might have some objection about Barbara take over as Batwoman .
As enticing as this idea is though , it ’d in all likelihood be for the unspoiled that if this iteration of the JLA does ever become canyon , it ’s in a story by Ross . Not only were they Ross ' idea , but there ’s also no other creative person who could make the team as desperate and epic as Ross did in this conception nontextual matter . With nostalgia for the animated serial hot , theTeen Titanshave never been more democratic , so possibly it ’s metre DC gaveAlex Rossfree sovereignty to get back this noteworthy version of theJustice League .
