Constantine Should Be Ravens Mentor

Constantine should be Raven’s Mentor

Maybe I’m a little late to the party because I’m admittedly only a newer fan of Constantine’s, but I honestly love the idea of John and Raven having something of a mentor/apprentice or father figure/daughter type dynamic in future media. Honestly, it’s kind of perfect. Both of them are religious magic users who primarily fight off demons. Raven’s biggest threat is her father, Trigon, who Constantine is straight up not afraid of. They have similar skills and focuses as heroes but are still unique enough in their abilities to not be boring copies of each other. Originally, the Teen Titans were basically the side kicks of the Justice League, and while Constantine isn’t in the main team, he is a part of Justice League Dark. Furthermore, there’s an inherent chemistry as their flaws can work off each other well. Constantine is a self-destructive Anti-Hero who might learn to take better care of himself if he has an apprentice to look after, and Raven is an emotionally repressed antisocial goody-two shoes. Raven is wise enough that she might help John deal with his own emotional baggage while also fostering a healthier lifestyle for John, while his charming nature might help to bring Raven out of her shell, become less afraid of her emotions, and even help her stand up to her father by training her more expressly in fighting demons like him. It’s obviously not perfect. There’s always the chance that his self-destructive behaviors combined with Raven’s tendency to suppress her feelings could result in them both hurting themselves and each other by not communicating, but these characters are edgy and troubled. I wouldn’t expect their dynamic to be cupcakes and rainbows. I would expect personality clashes and hurdles. But in the long run, if there was to be a revamp or new storyline where Raven started studying under Constantine, befriended him, or they fostered something akin to a family relationship, it could be a really neat relationship to explore and watch blossom. Just so long as it remains strictly non-romantic.

Jason: *theater voice* I’M BACK!! THE VILLAINS COWER IN FEAR OF ME!

Tim:*thinking back to Dick’s Robin days where he smashed the Joker’s face in with a staff, single-handledly took down Clayface, and mentally ripped apart the Riddler* uh huh.

Jason: NOONE CAN STAND BEFORE ME

Tim: *Again thinking about Nightwing killing the Joker with his bare hands, mocking Boone’s origin story, ripping people’s teeth out with pliers, dangling them from a flying jet, and threatening to feed them rats* yup. You’re the worst.

your version of punchline makes me so happy how much for more of funny child

thank you anon <33

I offer you recent doodles of the child

au where ALL the batkids inherit bruces adopting problem, but it's for kids that remind them of themselves

When a hyper-intelligent juvenile figures out his identity and starts following him around on patrol the only thing Tim can think is that this is karma

Steph sees any spunky kid with a villain parent and a hunger for justice and goes 'mine.'

An angry, bitter kid shows up at the police station and Dick immediately starts teaching him how to juggle

Jason reiterates to himself that he's not anything like bruce while collecting crime alley kids like pokemon cards

The little redheaded techie from Barbaras workplace accidently calls her mom and she nearly cries

When a mute youth with a truly horrible father needs a place to call home, Cass doesn't hesitate when inviting them into hers.

it only makes sense for Duke to take the new meta-vigilante under his wing, right? right??

Damian doesn't realise he's mentally adopted the small, scruffy assassin sent after him until he's reading them a bedtime story.

none of them tell eachother until there's a family reunion and then it's just

The thing that makes the Titans the Titans is that they would fistfight all of the other Titan’s parents in a Denny’s parking lot without hesitation. They are literally frothing at the mouth at the thought.

Is this something the Justice League can say? No I didn’t think so.

Behold “Battle of the Super Sons”, the first DC movie to dare to ask: “What if we mention Kon-El and none of Damian’s siblings?”
