I watched the video with Jon and listened to his rant. Based on the knowledge he imparted, I agree and feel it's a travesty. However, other things came up that are noteworthy.
1) No matter how hard Jon tries to convince me otherwise, Aquaman sucks! I just don't get it. Jon tried to defend him and mentioned the UN and I just stopped listening. Yeah, he's strong and admirable. I likened him to the Captain America of the sea. Still...I'm not feeling it.
2) I think Jon is brainwashing me. We do stuff on the computer and he usually has comics in the background. I am convinced that he's doing this on purpose and would not be surprised if he plays subliminal message tapes while I sleep. He mentioned Barry Allen and I knew he was The Flash. He then talked about the original Flash's costume and I knew what it looked like. I SHOULD NOT KNOW THESE THINGS!!!
I'm a little miffed at how there is no female representation. As you say, if they're just gonna go "fuck it" and make this a new Teen Titans spin, where's Terra? Where's Raven? Where's Wonder Girl?
I mean you get a quick glimpse of Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl but that's IT. And I think I saw a still on another site you get a brief glipse of Black Canary.
As to Aqualad, I'm not sure he's supposed to be. I know Garth was Atlantean with black hair and went on to become Tempest, and with Brightest Day there's a new Aqualad who happens to be black, but I think the new kid has dreads, he might not be this kid.
Kid Flash must be Bart. That's gotta be Wally as the flash, his costume has the covered eyes and the lightning bolt belt pointing at his junk. Which makes me think Robin must be Tim. (Tim's costume had no green.) Which I guess makes sense because Tim and Bart are Conner's (Superboy) close friends.

I'm scared and somebody should save me!

So, yeah, I dunno.
