The Justice League Return, But What About The Titans?
Justice League Unlimited#1 by Dan Mora and Mark Waid
In 2022, DC Comics held an event originally titledDark Crisis, later adjusted toDark Crisis on Infinite Earths. The conclusion of the seven-part limited series ends with not a literal death of the Justice League, but a symbolic one. On behalf of the League, Batman announces that theJustice League has decided to cease operationsindefinitely,handing over the reins to Nightwing and his Titans to protect the DC Universe. Not only were theTitans positioned as equals to JLAin that moment, but they immediately became the premiere super-team of the DC Universe.
As exciting as it is to hear news about the Justice League finally returning to DC,it leaves readers to wonder what this return means for the Titans' current status in DC, in the long run. Even if the team does remain as equals, then surely, that still means that only one team can be positioned astheteam of DC. Do the Titans keep their spot as DC’s premiere team, or will they be taking a backseat to the League? And will any of these implications affect their dynamic in working alongside each other?
