I think it is still happening. Grant Morrison also took a long time to make Multiversity. I guess he is too busy.
Batman Ninja more like Batman's Bizarre Adventure... Titans #19 okay I understand why its happening from a meta perspective but in story its not justified

Why, what happened in it?
Oh God! Natural light!The JL basically overreacted to the whole Troia thing and had the Titans disband for porrly defined reasons. Troia didn't level a city or turn into an all hands on deck scenario
Seriously? What gives them the right to have an entire Superteam disband? Just because one team member has a somewhat spotty track record? It's like if they tried to tell the JSA to stick it just because Black Adam used to be a member. Not to say they shouldn't raise any alarm bells, but it doesn't exactly give them any high ground to outright dismantle either group, does it?

Abnett has been very clearly hamstrung by the Manhattan plot to where we've been dragging our feet with the Titans Hunt plot for a while
Breaking the Team up so you can have individual arcs is a tried and true ... Filler tactic can't move your main plot forward? do a bunch of individual character arcs
Some think this is gonna be justification to have the team set up change to match the Titans show... but that doesn't work most of its members are on the Teen Titans with Damian...and would just be the 4th attempt at trying to relight the fire of the wolfman titans.
muh corporate synergy
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?which is dumb
Let the show be the show, let the comic be the comic stop assuming people are too stupid to not know the difference!
I mean THEY tried to turn Green Arrow into Arrow... and THAT was a train wreck!
I mean My problem with it is Troia didn't seem like that big of a deal... I mean if she leveled a city or took everyhting they had to repell her okay I might get the cease and desist mindset
but future Tim did more damage then Troia... and Tim's actually still acting like that!

Future Tim was a real piece of shit.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."I like how the Justice League is reacting by disbanding the team because one of their members has an evil alternate counterpart when it was recently discovered that their lancer has an entire army of evil alternate selves.
Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?What a waste of pages. For this momentous occasion, of all comics.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.On the bright side its just a back up story.
So hopefully he's not taking over like we all feared.
Though even then I'm worried how this shorty-story will turn out.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."The Suicide Squad are returning to animation. The new voice cast includes Christian Slater as Deadshot, Vanessa Williams as Waller and Billy Brown as Bronze Tiger making his first animated appearance as a member of the Squad.

https://www.newsarama.com/38149-christian-slater-headlines-suicide-squad-hell-to-pay-voice-cast.html unfortunately, it seems we got skinny Waller back. Sorry guys
So I guess Will Smith isn't powerful enough to envoke S Y N E R G Y.

My various fanfics.More like couldn't afford him, I expect.
I think he means that he's surprised they're keeping Deadshot white in this despite being played by a very popular black actor in the movies.
DC has never been that big on synergy.
They actually did a red herring in Deadshot a while ago. Flyod was crippled & it was revealed he stole his backstory from a black guy who came & calls himself the true Deadshot living the white guy imprisoned.
Only this was a trick as the new guy was revealed to be a dangerous psycho in it for himself thus forcing Waller to bring back the original & it turns out it was all an elaborate plan to give Deadshot his pre-New 52 origin back by giving his Forever Evil origin to the new guy.
"I am Alpharius. This is a lie."Oscar Winner to Explore ‘The Other History of the DC Universe’
The miniseries aims to reexamine key parts of DC Comics history, now told through the lens of characters from minority and marginalized backgrounds. DC’s press release says the series will “analyze iconic DC moments and chart sociopolitical gains through the perspectives of DC Super Heroes who come from traditionally disenfranchised groups,” and focus “on the lives of those behind the costumes, and their endeavors to overcome real-world issues.”

This is giving me GL/GA flashbacks. Which isn't necessarily a good thing.
This’ll either be really great, or really really shit.
The 2005-2011 section will be great
and then DC regressed by basically murdering/relegating every legacy character so they could be replaced by their original white male predecessor
This hit its tipping point with the over the top murder of Ryan Choi was done strictly to facilitate the return of Ray Palmer
I do find it odd to see Supergirl on that list given she isn't a part of any marginalised group. I hope it isn't clumsy inserting of a character with a tv show.
Is Multiversity Too still happening? Haven't heard about that in a while.
