Starfire finds herself engaged, but her friends uncover the truth behind her wedding ("Betrothed"). Beast Boy accidentally infects Cyborg with a virus, and the Titans enlist Gizmo to save the day ("Crash"). Slade visits Robin, but is he flesh and bone or something else entirely ("Haunted")?

Koete Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Robin's, "there is black and there is white and there is no such thing as grey" line could be a reference to Steve Ditko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I really doubt that, as Ditko isn't associated with Robin. If anything, it's a nod to who raised Dick Grayson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 It may not be a nod necessarily, but it's certainly remniscent of Ditko. In fact, he told that to Marv Wolfman who with George Perez inspired this very show! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted July 23, 2010 Report Share Posted July 23, 2010 Like I said before, Haunted is my all time favorite and I do really think the best one of the series personally. Both the Terra two parter and the "The End" three parters I felt seriously copped out where the comic book excelled at by being a little contrived, good as they were in their own rights. This episode does not hold back and you guys are right, Robin REALLY WAS gonna die. Totally agree about Scott Menville's excellent acting and Slade being at his most vicious ever. This episode rawked, and I only wish you guys spent more time discussing it! Still, wholeheartedly agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where else would she be? silly me if Red X could have been just Larry screwing with Robin, could the Slade illusion in "Haunted" be something similar done by Larry to test his hero?

KnightWing Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I don't buy for a split-second that X is Larry. I mean, really? Larry? The bumbling imp who could barely do anything right? Suddenly he becomes a super-amazing, deadly-precise vigilante? Ehhh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 None of the answers for who X is really seem to fit. I don't see Dick Grayson travelling back in time, putting the future in jeapordy, just to test himself in the past. We're apparently not supposed to know who he is, which is really annoying.

KnightWing Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 I always assumed that he was just an anonymous guy who found the suit. That made the story a lot more poignant, since it literally meant that Robin's decision to create and use the suit ended up creating a new (admittedly minor) villain. Also, without knowing the identity of the man behind the suit, it makes the suit itself into a character; it makes Robin's sins incarnate. I think this is something that works better as a mystery than it would if we knew the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James D. Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 After watching Batman: Under the Red Hood, I really want to think it's Jason Todd--just less psychopathic and having slightly more morals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garfield Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 After watching Batman: Under the Red Hood, I really want to think it's Jason Todd--just less psychopathic and having slightly more morals. It's an interesting idea. Especially since we don't know when Jason Todd is with Batman in the DCAU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightWing Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 It's an interesting idea. Especially since we don't know when Jason Todd is with Batman in the DCAU. He... doesn't exist? Unless Jason Todd showed up while Dick was still Robin.... Seriously. This is why TT being in the DCAU makes no sense. You have to bend over backwards in a thousand different ways just to make things sort of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 It is Jason Todd. Todd was never a Robin, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Know Who Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 maybe in the Justice Lords dimension, a kid called Jason Todd was Robin at some point and just crossed over into our dimension and stole Robin's suit without being detected somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
