Titans’ Beast Boy Has Become DC’s Most Tragic Hero (Despite His 2000s Status as Comic Relief)

Despite the large role the Teen Titans played in DC animation in the 2000s, any fans of that era will likely have a hard time recognizing Beast Boy now, especially in the comics. In both the Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go! cartoons, Beast Boy played the comic relief role, bringing humor and hijinks to the darkest scenarios. Now, however, Beast Boy is unwillingly vying for the role of most tragic hero in the DC Universe.
