5. It seems like it would be a waste to start "The Teen Titans" when you are EIGHTEEN...
...because that only gives you a career of two years. That's the kind of thing a REAL superhero would think about when they were 11 or 12, not 18.

11. well, Robin is the leader of the teen titans...
Edited on Fri Nov-20-09 05:53 PM by AsahinaKimi
Who are probably all younger then him...
He is certainly old enough to own that Big T building.. and at 18 he would be legal to do alot of stuff!

Well see, no one is going to turn this building over to someone who is not 18.. unless he forms the teen titans first
then gets the building when he is 18. (??)

25. There's a long history of superheroes who fought crime without a giant "T" building
I mean, if he's getting his strength from the fact that he owns a huge piece of commercial real estate, maybe his strength is all in his mind and not in that little ant-like anime body.

Edited on Fri Nov-20-09 06:10 PM by AsahinaKimi
The titans have their building.. Of course I am sure its attacked all the time. I remember they had this one ninja guy who came from Japan to destroy the Titans... But, I mean come on! The Titans need a cool place to crash!!

I love me sum Teen titans!

27. But we already know Batman is a bad influence
And yes, Superman has the Fortress of Solitude.

But what's wrong with a superhero having a nice penthouse apartment, townhome, or ranch style house with a 2-car garage in the suburbs? And they can crash at Starbucks with the rest of the cool crimefighters.

:rofl:

28. It is kinda funny
Edited on Fri Nov-20-09 06:37 PM by AsahinaKimi
You never see Robin go pay city taxes on the place. Or go pay the electric bill... and they are always playing computer games and stuff..eating food.. baking.. is Starfire registered as a legal alien? questions...questions...They probably don't get paid for protecting the city.. maybe they are all living off of Robin's huge estate. Maybe Beastboy has a side business selling Teen Titans stuff.. Tee shirts, frisbees, lunch boxes... Does Raven work in an all night 7-11 to help pay the bills? How does Cyborg pay for that car of his?

29. It is basically an MTV "reality show" in masks and capes and tights and itty bitty shorts.
.. and they are always playing computer games and stuff..eating food.. baking..

BAKING???

"QUICK! ROBIN! Throw one of those super-hot chocolate chip cookies that just came out of the oven at Darkseid! We'll BURN the evil out of him!"

I don't think any of them work. They probably charge fans money to sign autographs and then laugh all the way to the bank.

Baked something in the oven once...they all got sick from it! !

Poor Robin, was fighting this guy and had to take a sudden "bathroom" break.

32. That's what I'm saying...those things would never happen to real, "super" superheroes.
Although you can make Superman crumple like a piece of paper if you hold an itty bitty green rock in front of him...at least the Teen Titans aren't afraid of rocks. At least I think they're not.

35. Why is it that I remember seeing
Superman taking bullets square in the chest, but when the bad guy threw a gun at him, he ducked?

30. I always wondered about the Fortress of Solitude thing
If Superman lives at the North Pole, then how come we never see Santa Claus, or any elves or reindeer in the Superman movies?

There's only one North Pole, so they gotta be next door neighbors, right?

34. I saw elves in a Superman movie once...
...but that might have been because of something I did about a half hour before I put in the DVD...

3. He buys the Cowboys and the Yankees and makes them fight, gladiator style
to the death. Alas, he does this via pay per view, and amasses an even greater fortune.

7. He'd add the inevitable "bonus footage" to the DVD, too...
...because he'd be smart enough to know that the only way to get a fool to pay for something TWICE is to toss 'em a crumb the second time around.

8. You know it...and the pending games for XBox, and the toy collection.
"Headless" Derek Jeter would be a best seller.

6. Since Bruce Wayne is such a horrible parent
He goes off on his own to fight his own bad guys to shove it in Batmans face.

9. I never thought of it that way before...
...but when you consider that Bruce's response to Dicks parents getting killed in a suspicious "circus mishap" was to take him under his wing and immediately put him in the line of fire of every psychotic super-villain in Gotham City, you MAY be onto something.

:rofl:

10. Well look at the history of all the Robins
Bruce Wayne should not be raising children! LOL

His second Robin was Jason Todd whom he took in when he caught him trying to steal the tires off the Batmobile. Eventually Jason Todd was taken captive by the Joker and beaten to death with a crowbar then blown up in a building explosion. Only to come back years later as a psycho Red Hood trying to kill Batman and take over Gotham City. Being around Bruce Wayne really messed up Jason Todd.

Tim Drake seems to be somewhat stable. I guess 3rd time is the charm!

12. A regrettably large percentage of DC Comics fans cheered that crowbar thing when it happened
That was just WRONG, but they DID. They were ready for a Batman without Robin, and if that was the way they were gonna get it, they seemed more than OK with it.

The BASTARDS!

13. I believe it was a call in vote
Overwhelmingly they voted to kill off Jason Todd is the most gruesome way possible.

I hated Jason Todd to but damn Joker really beat the fuck out of him.

15. It was less of a "Cesar Romero Joker" move and more of a "Heath Ledger Joker" move
I mean, Romero would have squirted him with a plastic flower or something and Robin would have cried "MY EYES!" until he realized it was just water, but Ledger would have shown up with the crowbar.

37. So the lesson is...move in with Bruce Wayne and the joker will beat you to death with a crowbar
He'll go all Casino on you like you are Joe Pesci and that other guy.

20. I'm sure they're going to do something horrible to Tim.
I mean, more horrible than having his father killed by a minor villain and dying right infront of his eyes.

23. Bruce Wayne needs to emotionally scar him so he grows up to be a psycho.
Edited on Fri Nov-20-09 05:57 PM by rcrush
That was Bruce keeps consistent as a parent. It happened in Batman Beyond.
