animated Teen Titans

Yesterday I transcribed the first part of Apprentice for lcsbanana, and as I rewatched the episode I was reminded once again how freaky and disturbing (in an entertaining way) the parts with Slade and Robin were. And I decided that I should watch the earlier episodes with the two, so I just watched Masks.

And wow, also creepy, especially when you know what it'll lead up to. The series really shines in the eps centering around Robin and Slade. And Robin? Is really intense in his focus on catching and demasking Slade. That room with all the news clippings and evidence, it sort of reminded me of the room Lex in SV keeps for his Clark obsession.

And why am I not surprised that Robin knows exactly how to disarm each of his fellow Titans, I guess he comes after Batman in that way... *g* Of course it leads him into the same kind of trouble Batman has with the rest of the Justice League.

Somehow I found this scene from this story (Nightwing and Robin: Partners, written by Doug Moench, art by Bob McLeod) in Showcase '93 #12 really amusing, thus I'm sharing scans of two pages. Nightwing and Robin are hassled by two cops, who hate "flashy ginks" and "skintight spraypainted showoffs" and are angry that "our Halloween party boys had a little fun here on the docks"...

The two pages these quotes are from, so that you can see the homophobic superherophobic cops for yourself:
