‘Teen Titans’: Which iconic characters can you play as in ‘Fortnite’?
Teen Titans, just the name of the DC superhero group, fills people with deep-seated nostalgia. Whether it’s for the comics characters or the ones of the Cartoon Network TV series (either one or both incarnations) or, yes, the live-action version, people have a lot of love for the Teen Titans. So is it really that much of a surprise that your favorite Teen Titans characters are now skins on Fortnite?
Now this isn’t the first time one of the Teen Titans characters joined the Fortnite universe. Raven, everyone’s fave half-demonic goth superhero, joined Fornite in season 6 as a battle pass skin. This time, however, Beast Boy is up to bat. The green, shapeshifting hero is coming to the item shop on May 13 at 8pm ET. No word on how many V bucks you’ll have to spend, but does it really matter?
The design for Beast Boy (and Raven) are taken from Gabriel Picolo’s gorgeous fanart turned into actual graphic novel art of the Teen Titans as teens. Even a load screen showing BBRae on a walk together looks like it’s in Picolo’s distinctive style. So how is Twitter reacting to things? Here’s what you need to know.
I loved Teen Titans growing up, so this is pretty huge for me. If we can see characters like Jinx, Argent, Blackfire and Starfire next, that would be nuts. They've got the Teen Titans license, so why not! Also I absolutely ADORE @_gabrielpicolo's art style. This is awesome stuff! pic.twitter.com/TCBClmadPg

Million dollar idea
Listen, the art is so cool. And maybe we can do another Teen Titans animated series but using this art style? Maybe an HBO Max animated series!

Yay
Days have been made better for the reveal.
Realistically I think this means something is gonna happen with The Spire…
But if this means a Teen Titans collab… And we get a Beast Boy… Words won't be able to describe my happiness.

Meanwhile, others were feeling some major disappointment
If you don’t play, then you were probably disappointed with the news.
