The Dawn of the DCU is upon us, and a younger and experienced generation of superheroes are taking over as the primary protectors the world has in the wake of the Justice League's hiatus following the events of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths.

That of course would mean the Titans - led by Dick Grayson/ Nightwing and featuring his longtime friends and teammates in Donna Troy, Wally West/ The Flash, Beast Boy, Starfire, Cyborg, and Raven. The team has properly reformed and established their base of operations on Bludhaven with a new Titans Tower as seen in the pages of Nightwing #100. 

With Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman looking to take a break and reassess the League, they have left things in the capable hands of their proteges - and Nightwing series writer Tom Taylor will team up with artist Nicola Scott to bring these heroes out to defend humanity and the rest of the multiverse when need be.
