So the DCU has become the DCnU and everything has been turned on its head, with a number of characters that have been in print almost constantly for the last decade having taken a back seat for now, Raven included.
 
As everything is still pretty new and a lot of history still to uncover, we on this board are left to wonder what all of this will mean for Raven;  

-Where will she make her first appearance outside of flashbacks?
-How much of her current history remains intact and how much has been altered?
-Who is she this time?
-What changes have been made to her costume?
-Is there anyone in her life? If so, who?

From my own intel it so far seems like John's run on TT (the last 100 issues), Young Justice and possibly everything back to the end of Wolfman's run on NTT (stopping with #130) has been erased, as Lobdell/Lee/Johns has mentioned between them that theres been one team of Teen Titans before the Lobdell-Titans gather, the old team had Dick Grayson, Roy Harper and Starfire as definite members, and Cyborg has been called 'a Titan to be' by Lee in his design notes.
 
I agree that having her actually appear in Demon Knights is unlikely, unless she is revamped into something thats definitely not a Teen or if she aquires time travelling powers . However i could easilly see her back story appearing in it, namely that Trigon could show up along with the first Brother Blood and the first Azar.  
While i agree that JLD is the most likely place for her to pop up, i wouldnt have minded at all if she had joined Gail's BoP, this new version...I'm not sure what to think about them yet.
 
As for shipping, considering that Johns run is voided, i consider it unlike that the thing with Gar will have survived, since it was something Johns created...i honestly never understood where he got it as the pair never had anything in the past (like thought bubbles that had one party wish to be the same age as the other so they would fit), but i wont harp anymore on it. If anything, its probably more likely that Linda Park gets the short end of the stick and the Wally/Raven ship resurfaces.
 
Another intesting question about her is; is Trigon still making her life a living hell or not?

Well, it's hasn't been spelled out, but its hard to imagine Johns-Teen Titans remaining if Lobdell brings Tim, Conner, Bart and Cassie together for the first time (which he has said is the case).

I'm want her to appear in JL Dark, it's a perfect fit for her! Better than Zatanna.

I am hoping she is making an appearance soon, though, I think I can wait for a couple months or a year until she finally show her face. Her character needs a break from all the abuse she has been taking.

@Outside_85: I could've sworn Lobdell said that one of the characters he wanted to "re-imagine" for Redhead Outlaws was Raven, but she was "nixed" (he also couldn't use Crimson Avenger for the same reason, I think) Perhaps someone is working on an unannounced Raven-related title to be released later on?

@DarkShadows: I like both characters but what does, in this circumstance, Raven have over Zatanna? With John Constantine, Xanadu, and Enchantress appearing in JLD, no Zatanna would've...just not have been right, imo.

I agree Zatanna fits in perfectly for the case, though what puzzle's me is where Dr. Fate is as of right now. But Raven appearing in later in the series doesn't sound bad at all.

Raven was spotted!

@Adnan: For the notion of Raven>Zatanna in JLD, something I share btw, is that Raven is actually 'dark' whereas Zatanna is the cheerleader of the DC magicians (people go to her more than they do Fate, and hes the more powerful one). Reason I see it this way is because of Raven's past and heritage with Trigon and all that comes with it, on top of that Raven's mostly feared and considered a threat by most others (warrented or not). Whereas Zatanna only recently lost her father, bears no stigmatizing/haunting mark from her mothers death, she's a world famous stage magician, highly respected and well liked in the caped community (even with the Bruce). If anything Zatanna should be on the main Justice League team, in place of Mera who's probably the closest thing they have to a mage there, and not some covert team that the public is best left unaware of.

I thoght Zatanna and Raven were both going to be in JL Dark

@Outside_85:I've never really thought of Zatanna as the "cheerleader of the DC mages", but now that I think about it...I can see where you're coming from. And damn, I'm actually kinda scared about what Lobdell could do with Raven if he got his hands on her...

@DEGRAAF: That's what I initially thought as well...

I'm personally hoping Raven's being held back from appearing because they're preparing a Trigon-centric mini-event or something. It's been awhile since he's appeared proper, I think.

thats a good idea although i would rather see Trigon as a main event, pull the leagues together type of villain trying to turn the world in to the new hell or something

@Outside_85: Yea, he could fight with his demons but they would need the powers of Justice League Dark to accomplish locking him away

News; Lobdell seems to intend to write her. (Personally I think this is really bad news, mostly because of Lobdell and what he's done in DC so far)

I feel the same way, and I'm afraid our fears have been confirmed. Lobdell says here that he intends to bring Raven into TT in roughly 5 issues. The fact that she didn't end up being tied to the dark books, and instead is on TT despite not being a teenager anymore annoys me in particular, the fact that Lobdell will probably 'reinvent' her appearance annoys me even more.

I just want her back, so it's not phasing me much that Lobdell will be writing her. I mean it would be nicer to see a better writer for TT in general but thats a whole other story. But I have a feeling he is not gonna stick with his word seeing that this culling event is probably distracting him. And I really hope they don't use that awful design people are posting.
