At least all the classic characters are (slowly) coming back. One fan favourite recently came back last week in the flash, but I won't spoil it.

So in terms of recognition, it's not only poor (Beast Boy and Cassie? That's got more emotional appeal than Superman and Conner?), it's also nonsensical, precisely because even the creative teams can't keep track any more. I didn't used to think so, but more and more it seems Rebirth needed a Big Bang moment, some point where continuity changed, because instead we're betwixt and between. collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-6439516391879428502018-07-16T08:40:41.897-05:002018-07-16T08:40:41.897-05:00If I recall there was a "recognition" mo...If I recall there was a "recognition" moment at one point when Beast Boy says something like he thinks he's seen Cassie but I think the writers undercut that with a joke. If anything this just raises more questions about this continuity than it answers, since Tim's New 52 Titans are mentioned, which ostensibly means that the new team should recognize Wonder Girl/Superboy/Kid Flash, but they don't? My continuity wonk brain can't handle it, and I doubt these bugs will ever be ironed out post-Doomsday Clock.<br /><br /><br /><br />Also where's Bunker?
