I'm not using spoiler tags, because you have a warning in the title.
I don't think this is the "goddamn batman", but Batman being controlled by something. I'm guessing this will be the catalyst for the kids to come together.
I thought the art was really good, the story was fine, but one thing did bother me. That Dick and Wally were so cavalier about their secret identities. Maybe I'm just used to how DC has always treated that, and that's why it bothered me a tiny bit. This isn't off the the rocking start as some of the other better Year Ones got, but I still hold out hope that this will turn into a fun story.

Am I acting like too much of an old fogey if I complain that the Titans already had a perfectly good origin back in Brave & the Bold #54? In fact, we just saw the villain from that story in the most recent JLA ...

This is quite possibly the most disappointing book i've ever read. I had high hopes for this book. Especially since i'm a HUGE Titans fan, and i've had to watch the past 15 years just gut that book to smithereens - much like X-men.

BTW, the perfect Superman origin is the first three episodes of the Superman: Animated Series. Now that was perfection. I remember watching that premiere on a Sunday at seven and being blown away.
