After learning of Jason’s death, Bruce Wayne (Iain Glen), AKA Batman is not OK. This shocking event is the first of many to follow in the first three episodes of the new season. Within the first few minutes of episode one he is murdered by Joker in an abandoned Amusement Park. Fans currently know him as Robin, but he becomes Red Hood, however, it happens a lot faster than most expected. It has been known for some time now that Jason Todd (Curran Walters) would find a new alter ego in DC’s Titans Season 3. Warning: spoilers for DC’s Titans Season 3 (Episodes 1, 2, and 3) ahead. DC’s Titans Season 3 Wastes No Time Proving It Is The Best Season Yet The Titans are back in Gotham, and so are some new to the show villains – and things are going to get brutal. After that, it just snowballs into an epic storyline that proves that they are not playing around this season. Honestly, that's the best compliment I can think of when it comes to Batman.Share on Twitter Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn Share on PinterestĭC’s Titans Season 3 immediately jumps off the deep end with something that fans of the comic books were certainly expecting, but may not have predicted to occur so soon.
Iain Glen also shows us a more surprisingly vulnerable Dark Knight, one that even acknowledges his failures in a performance that feels more in line with something like Mask of the Phantasm. Thwaites makes a good case for himself as the new Batman, carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, unable to properly communicate his traumas, and taking in a group of orphans to form a superhero family. For one, the season is at its best when it draws parallels between Batman's treatment of Dick and Jason, and how Dick currently leads the Titans. Sure, the huge focus on Nightwing at the expense of the other characters gets a bit repetitive, but it helps that we get some genuinely good subversion of the Batman mythos. It is here that we meet another big DC character - Barbara Gordon, now Commissioner ( Savannah Welch), who has a long history with Dick Grayson, and brings out some of the best moments of introspection the season has to offer. Though the show doesn't really show much of Gotham, we sure hear a lot of it, as every character takes any and all opportunity to remind us that it is the worst city on the planet.
Sadly, all of this gets mostly pushed aside with the arrival of a new player in the Gotham City underworld: Red Hood. Seeing Superboy showing off his abilities to tease Beast Boy, before the latter teaches him about simple things like not eating off a book (remember, Conner has only been alive for a few months), makes up for the inherent darkness in this season. The dynamic between Gar and Conner is especially entertaining as we finally get a resemblance of the lighthearted comic relief fun Beast Boy was known for in his Teen Titans days, with Conner standing in for Cyborg. Still, the few scenes where we see the Titans interact with one another are a lot of fun to watch. We get just a couple of brief mentions of Logan and Conner's motivations and personal problems before they are quickly tossed aside for the next major plot point in the main storyline. Though Starfire's visions get the spotlight in an episode, the rest of the characters are treated as guest stars rather than main characters. If only the show seemed interested in them. These are all interesting premises that can make for entertaining stories.
