"We do not enter the field of battle lightly…neither in heart, nor body, nor mind. Nor do we exit it lightly. We leave a piece of us behind. And sometimes the cost of defending the innocent exceeds what we could ever think to pay. There’s only one word for this – sacrifice. And whether it be recognized in the present, or in some distant time, or never at all, this is the hero’s duty."
-- Bruce Wayne, Titans: "Nightwing"
Hello again, Titans fans! My fellow TitanTalker Jesse Jackson and I are back with another new episode of TitanTalk: The Titans Podcast! This time, we discuss "Nightwing", the Season 2 finale of the DC Universe series Titans, featuring Brenton Thwaites as Nightwing, Conor Leslie as Wonder Girl, Esai Morales as Deathstroke, and Natalie Gumede as Mercy Graves!
In this episode, Jesse and I discuss things like another mixed reaction to a Titans finale, Greg Walker being a bad Titans showrunner, wondering why Dick couldn't announce his new Nightwing identity, Brenton Thwaites in the Nightwing costume, the really short and anticlimactic Deathstroke fight, wondering why the Titans think Deathstroke is dead, more of Dick and Bruce's more mature relationship, Jericho jumping over to Ravager's body, no repercussions for Rose betraying the Titans, why the Cadmus storyline should've been wrapped up before the Season 2 finale, Marv Wolfman and George Pérez telling "The Judas Contract" much better in the comics, Cadmus' plan to create super-soldiers for money, the female Titans not taking Superboy as a serious threat, wondering where Eve was while Superboy was being mind-controlled, no repercussions for Gar killing people or Superboy attacking the police, Dick still being a fugitive, my wife Lori's reaction to Wonder Girl being killed off in a really stupid way, Season 3 featuring "The Blackfire Saga" on Earth and Dark Raven, our favorite quotes of the episode, new Tell It to TitanTalk feedback from Jock, Steven Marshall, and Anne Dieken, wondering when Krypto was rescued from Cadmus, and more!
