DC's Titans Thread (First Episode Out)

[Mr. Negative]

From a realistic perspective, taking away the super hero worship factor of most comic stories, I think Robin has a legit beef with Batman and I think going through something like that could and would leave somebody pretty fukked up mentally. True, Bruce did more for him than anyone else, but the deeds of Batman damn near negate all the goodwill and positive equity that Bruce's action's action's build up. Batman's action's, as a parent, which what he is, are the height of irresponsibility.

Let's strip the superhero aspect away and place his action's in a real world type scenario. You've got a parent with a prepubescent child, and he's, say a police officer. And not just any police officer, he's like some elite swat team type nikka, rappelling off buildings, shootouts, the whole 9. He decides to take his 12 year old son, on some bring for child to work day type shyt, out on a mission with him. Now he's worked with the kid at home, taught him how to use firearms, self defense, all that shyt, so he's not helpless. And the kid is extremely game, he's amped to go to work with his dad, see what he does, stop some bad guys. Real life, taking that kid on one assignment, that dad's losing custody of that kid and getting destroyed for being a awful parent, as he should. But let's just say the kid somehow is able to go on multiple missions. Swat dad's got this kid involved in shootouts, heavy drug bust, breaking up sex trafficking rings and all other kinds of fukked up shyt, on a damn near nightly basis. He not supposed to be seeing shyt like that. You don't think that kid would grow up to be pretty fukked up mentally? And would it be the fault of the kid for his fukked up mental makeup when he's 18, 19 or so. That nikka would be dealing with major PTSD among with countless other issues.

As I'm typing this I'm thinking of warlords and their child soldiers. Nobody blames the kids for being indoctrinated by the adults to do some fukked up shyt. Batman's not as extreme, and he gives the kids a better life outside the crime fighting obviously, but he's basically developing little weapons. That's why I like the approach they took with dikk in this. He's old enough to reflect back on what he went through to realize it was pretty fukked up, and it did something to him emotionally. Dude tryna deal, and he's placing a fair amount of blame on Batman, as he should, cause he wasn't old enough and responsible enough to make a life altering decision like that on his own, especially after just going through seeing his parents being murdered in front of him.

I’m 3 episodes in and this is actually really good

just finished it this morning. REALLY liked it. Just wished they didn't end on a cliffhanger like that.

But that post credit scene.

The last episode felt like there were a few scenes that were cut out because it didn’t really explain how and why what happened, happened.

I can’t wait for season 2 though.

This was like watching an Arkham game transformed into a tv series

I feel like it did, what confused you?

Yo r-rated Superboy with the shyts

 

[SadimirPutin]

Just finished ep 7

And to think ppl thought this would suck cause of set photos

The last people anyone should listen to about comic films and television ironically are nerds/geeks

They are incessant complainers and if you made these projects the way these cheeto stained bedwetters wanted they would be terrible

I feel like it did, what confused you?

Not that it was confusing but at no point did the episode point out that Trigon was testing Robin’s will. i guess it was implied with how things would randomly pop into his world in order to force him to make decisions but you don’t really get a sense of what’s happening so when the episode ends with him being evil, it’s a bit of a WTF moment.

Also, the fact that the every other character takes a backseat for this episode seems unintentional. I feel like there were meant to be scenes explaining their whereabouts because only Raven, her mum and Trigon appear in the last scene.

Do you mean as it's happening? Because as soon as we cut to the house Trigon tells Raven that he was intentionally giving dikk multiple options to choose peace but he kept choosing violence.

I agree with this, I kind of don't mind not seeing Starfire/Beastboy as they'll be trying to enter the house. I wish they did more with Hawkman and Dove, the Jason Todd thing was very vague unless she saw what happens to him at the ends of the Joker.

Yeah, as it was happening. One cut to a Trigon overlooking Robin would have made the narrative of the episode a whole lot cleaner.

I read that episode 12 was moved back to be episode 1 of season 2, so maybe that’s why

That's from the comics

They also want to fukk on Teen Titans Go.

Man I don't know why WB is so hell bent on keeping Batman off live action television. I'm not talking about that BS in Gotham either. I'm talking about Batman in his prime. Superman shows up in Supergirl and damn near the entire Justice League showed up in Smallville but they always keep Batman absent.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

This was good. I had zero faith in it being that. Quite honestly it shyts on most of the netflix marvel shows.

The only cop out was the last episode.
