Later this year, DC will release Beast Boy Loves Raven, perhaps the most straightforward announcement of their relationship ever published in the multiverse. Within that private sanctum, where all of the pressures and responsibilities of the superhero trade have faded to the background, Raven and Beast Boy are finally enjoying some time alone, together. Piccolo teamed up with writer Kami Garcia for a subdued, breezy interpretation of some of the Teen Titans mainstays – a universe in line with Picolo's Instagram, where you could believe that Cyborg wears Champion slides and Starfire orders McDonald's for Robin. Raven, unyieldingly umbral and standoffish, Beast Boy a bit too immature to fully voice his intimate truths.Īnd at last, in 2020, DC finally gave the people what they wanted. Instead, they did a lot of flirting but were perpetually preoccupied with the ever-inconvenient business of saving the world. The two characters were never officially christened as an item in the mid-2000s Cartoon Network staple, Teen Titans. It quickly went viral on Twitter as a swath of millennials reconnected with a long-dormant desire to see Raven and Beast Boy finally get what they deserve – namely, each other. This image was uploaded to DC Comics artist Gabriel Picolo's Instagram last December. It's clear they've been happy together for a very long time. One hand on his cheek, the other clutching an iPhone pointed at the mirror. She's wearing a black mesh crop top, he has a Fall Out Boy shirt tucked into his belt, could it be anymore obvious? The bathroom is covered in juvenile debris – crumpled-up tissues, a toothpaste tube squeezed down to its final drop, but Raven doesn't seem to care. Within the square walls of a comic panel, Raven presses her lips against Beast Boy's cheek and snaps a quick selfie.
