[QUOTE="Mad_Jack, post: 8170516, member: 6750306"] I've watched the first two seasons... It's a pretty decent show. The series is based fairly loosely on the original storylines from the comic books. The whole comic book storyline of Dick Grayson forming the Teen Titans, and then later reforming them as just the Titans is pretty dark at points. (But well worth the read.) The series is basically taking place between the disbanding of the Teen Titans under tragic circumstances and Dick reforming them a few years later. At that point, it still hadn't been all that long since he'd given up being Robin, so he was still trying to find his identity as Nightwing, and was still on the outs with Batman. He was being written as a somewhat darker person at that point. He wasn't necessarily a killer, but was definitely struggling with trying to contain the violence within him: the realization that Batman had basically weaponized a child was a big part of why they split. The show plays it up a bit more since the first season has a definite horror aspect to it, being focused on the girl's story. The second season goes into a lot more of the backstory of the original Teen Titans, and shows how he ended up so dark and bitter. [/QUOTE]
