- Quotes
Conner Kent: So, the Joker just killed him?
Kory Anders: Mmm-hmm. Sounds like Jason went after him the same way he went after Deathstroke. Alone and unprepared. I'm so angry.
Conner Kent: At the Joker?
Kory Anders: No. At Jason.
Gar Logan: Jason, why?
Kory Anders: Because he never learned. When Jason left the Titans to return to Gotham he was alone and angry, and I get that, but... Dick was hoping he figured things out with Bruce but he never did. He clearly just kept making the same mistakes over and over, and it finally got him killed. Jason never evolved. He never grew past his own worst instincts. Don't let that happen to you. Keep learning. Keep growing. First Donna and now Jason. I'm sick of losing people.

The line up haven't changed, Titans still has Dick Grayson as the leader and the other members are Hawk and Dove, Starfire, Rachel Roth, Gar Logan, Conner Kent and Jason Todd. Donna Troy died in the S2 finale but I'm sure she will return as Rachel looked for a way for just that in the season finale. The big bad of the season will surely be Blackfire which Damaris Lewis is playing, returning from her guest appearance in the second season. Newly additions are Vincent Kartheiser as Dr. Jonathan Crane, an actor who played a big role in Mad Men, I believe hundred percent that he will be perfect as The Scarecrow. Savannah Welch plays Barbara Gordon, it's another superb casting. Savannah being a paralyzed as well and just having the look of Barbara, plus the talent.
Summary: I think the slow pacing isn't for everyone but my love for the characters and the Batman mythology kept me interested through the whole 42 minutes. The episode follows Dick Grayson as he goes to Gotham City, it's such a well written episode and it shows how much he have changed throughout these two seasons. Iain Glen's performance as Bruce Wayne is probably the episode's best, it isn't often I say this but that was a terrifying performance, award worthy. The conversations between Dick, Bruce and Barbara were also some of my favorite parts of the episode. Titans is off to a great start with its third season, first at HBO Max. I want to comment on something and I'll have to start off that I'm a big Batman fan, Tim Drake is sadly unrecognizable because of how they changed the ethnicity of the character, a beloved character in the comic books and the actor doesn't look at him at all which disappointed me. This is me criticizing their choice, but I have faith that it will be a good portrayal and that the actor will do a fine job.
