Apparently the guy on the right is Aqualad..


You read that right, Aqualad.


Excuse me sir, could we please have more tokenism? There are a growing number of HOC in the DC Universe they could have chosen to fill the role, but instead they decided to change the race of an existing character to be black because...

... I have no idea. With that line-up (Robin, Superboy, Kid Flash/Impulse even) they could have even introduced an obscure character or two without difficulty. Empress, Bumbleebee*, Cyborg*, heck use Static he's in the DC universe now.

But instead we get... Aqualad

*Yes, I know both Bumblebee & Cyborg were used in Teen Titans. But if Robin's here for this series I don't see why they couldn't be.
