YMMV / Teen Titans (New 52)

Go To

  • Audience-Alienating Era: While DC's New 52 initiative was controversial as a whole, this series is often regarded as one of (if not the) worst outings in the larger Teen Titans franchise and is consistently labeled as one of the most awful books in the entirety of the New 52. The series kicked off with an unfocused arc that crossed over with two other titles and starred several characters that had core personality traits ironed out to almost to In Name Only levels (quietly providing independent Dork Ages for those characters involved like Superboy, Tim Drake, Cassie Sandsmark and Kid Flash). Plotlines felt like an excuse for more fight scenes, other plotpoints were dropped almost immediately after their introduction, resulting in a series that many felt was overly-convoluted and inconsistent.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: On a team full of In Name Only versions of beloved characters, new character Bunker stood out as a relatively well-adjusted character who had a unique powerset and little to no hangups about his sexuality. He has since reappeared in Red Hood and the Outlaws as well as Teen Titans Academy.
  • WTH, Costuming Department?: The costumes were seen as ridiculous by many, but saddling Red Robin's suit with large, semi-functional wings has been a sticking point for many readers.
