10 Greatest Comic Books We Never Got To See
4. Grant Morrison - Teen Titans
It is understandable that DC went with the more proven duo of Dan Jurgens and the great George Perez over Grant Morrison in 1997. They were looking to relaunch an old classic in Teen Titans, and wanted a steady pair of hands to do it. However, in retrospect, Morrison may well have been the perfect person for the job.
The thinking for turning down Morrison was that they had a limited track recorded in mainstream superheroics. The counter argument to that, of course, is that the Scot's track record with superheroes, while not prolific, was nonetheless stellar. The Chaos Magician had worked wonders with the superhero team Doom Patrol in the '80s, and had an unprecedented success with their seminal Arkham Asylum story for Batman.
In the years following, Morrison would also have extended and highly successful runs with the JLA and X-Men, while Jurgens and Perez flopped completely with their Teen Titans reboot. Unfortunately, we don't know the details of Grant Morrison's proposal, though they did work with a more mature version of the Teen Titans in the 1998 DC One Million mini-series.
