Alternate Trailer for Titans Season 3
The trailer focuses on Bruce’s parenting style or lack of parenting using fear to train his Robins. Dick Grayson is talking with a counselor to work through his trama as he settles into his identity of Nightwing. With the warning to protect the next Robins from that same fate.
“Be a Better Batman.”
Jump ahead to present, Red Hood is killing of criminals and Dick goes after him. Of course, this takes place after Batman quit and after learning that Jason Todd died at the hands of Joker. Batman felt that he failed Jason. Remember, in season 2, Bruce was struggling with Jason Todd and reached out to Dick to help him with Jason.
Season 2: Jason Todd’s Arc & Feeling Abandoned
Jason was cast out by Bruce and then he couldn’t find his fit with Titans. Then, he was abducted by Deathstroke, tied to a chair with explosives and hung over a skyscraper where he falls. Fortunately, he is saved by Connor (205 “Deathstroke” )
PTSD from Deathstoke’s abduction of him
Unfortunately, Jason Todd still suffers from PTSD constantly reliving the events in his head. He is accused by the rest of the Titans for planting items manipulating the emotions of the team. He leaves Titans Tower once again feeling cast out but begins a relationship with Rose, daughter of Deathstroke and plant in the Titans (207, “Bruce Wayne,” 209, “Atonement”)
Betrayed again but by the one he loves
Rose admits to Jason that she was a plant for Deathstroke because of what happened to Jericho. Jason feels betrayed and feels used despite having real feelings for Rose. He leaves her and heads out on his own, which is where we find him in season 3 (212, faux Hawk)
Now, feeling abandoned by both Batman and the Titans and Rose, Jason Todd goes out on his own. What happens next sets both Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson on their respective paths and things will be changed in a dramatic way for both Batman and the Titans.
