DC did Knight Terrors not too long ago ( and Dark Crisis on Infinite earth about a year prior to that ) , and its heavy event closing out the year is Beast World from Tom Taylor ( Nightwing ) and Ivan Reis ( Green Lantern ) . With the Titans now the newA - list teamof the DC Universe after the Justice League is on the backburner , it descend to them to handle a big foreign starfish known as the Necrostar — said to be like classic DC baddie Starro , but “ far more fearful . ” Because the monster was beat by Starro forever ago , they argue that Beast Boy can just shapeshift into the starfish and beat Necrostar that way . But that plan goes to hell after Beast Boy becomes a niggling too much like Starro and sends out spores that move around its dupe into animals .

Beast World was revealed atSan Diego Comic - Conearlier this twelvemonth , and is being bill as the “ first Titans comic book crossover upshot . ” For a team that ’s been around for ten , they ’ve been featured players in many an effect , and even star insome of their ownthat were sequestrate off from the rest period of the DCU . you’re able to see how their first wrinkle - wide crossing over is pass in one top up above , and another at the bottom of this fib , but it do n’t appear to be look respectable . Beast Boy ’s power set makes him a low key dangerous hero , and this event is going to try and make a character for that over the course of its outpouring . Things are go to get so dire that Amanda Waller finally get regard , which will surely make thing even more complicated for the Titans after the dust clear .
